Automation vs. Grind

Comment

Automation is not in the scope currently, we actually took back some of the Automation we already had for the manual labour. Automation is something on our list, but that's definately more to the end of EA, as it's a big standalone feature.

Dorianmode is correct.

Why so slow walking?

Well, that's the point of the game. You can of course decide to not upgrade infrastructure for the sake of the planet - but you will have to live with the consequences. That's what Eco is about ...

Are pets planned?

Animal Husbandry is a feature on the roadmap and taming (a wolf) will at least be available to backers of the Wolf Whisperer tier.

Manipulating the save file is never a good idea and we cannot provide any support for that, consider your save file broken.

If anything, it's a Steam issue.

Water flow still not implemented?

It's not being worked on currently, not sure when that was said?
It's planned to be worked on sometime in the future, but it's a low priority feature.

Question (Host own Server -> Low Collaboration)

Comment

The collaboration settings influence how fast you get skill points.
No, the worlds are only random if you choose so, otherwise a pre-generated default map that is only different between patches, but not between players, is used.

All laws will be gone, you won't have new biomes or animals, nor new materials.

We recommend starting a new world. You can use the old one, but you'll missing out on some stuff.

Developer Blog: New Audio

Post
Hello, I'm Leonard[videogameaudio.com] and I'm the audio director for Eco. I started working with Strange Loop Games in 2011 on Vessel and am happy to be back with the team again.

For version 0.9 we've been hard at work the past half year to improve and expand the audio content while also upgrading the existing audio system. The initial audio system for Eco was built using Unity and this has been entirely replaced by the Audiokinetic Wwise audio system. This new audio system allows us to move a lot faster when adding new content and includes many features not available in the regular Unity audio system.

Here's a list of our Eco Update 9.0 Blogs:

It's the first powered vehicle we introduced in the game, so it's pretty much part of history :)

That's wrong. Multi-Packs in Steam have been discontinued long ago, only few games can still sell multiple copies of their games at once. That's why Eco doesn't offer multipacks on Steam - simply because they removed the feature. Hence he cannot have a multipack on Steam.

Comment

If you buy a 4 Pack on our website, you get an account with three invites on our website that can be sent to other e-mails to also create accounts. All of these accounts can be linked with Steam. We do not send out keys directly, we are not allowed to do so.

Steam Sale

We take part in some of the Steam Sales with 15% off. Summer sale is a big one, so we probably do, but i cannot promise that.

That should also be fixed in 9.0.

Try to restart Steam. If something is wrong with the connection to Steam, the game offers you to login via your SLG Login instead. You can create an account on our website and link your Steam account to it - this allows you to play Eco when Steam is on maintenance or down as well.

The powered cart is a legacy vehicle replaced by the Steam Truck. It's not meant to be crafted, we left it in for the diehard fans. (And because it takes no time to not remove it, obviously) In normal progession you would never use this vehicle and that's intended.

For Update 9.0 we rebalanced it a bit, so it can actually be useful at a specific point of the tech tree, but most people will still not want to use it due to its high turn radius - but it does have it's fans and we don't see the need to arbitrarily remove something.
