Eco's RAM usage does solely depend on the world size and the amount of built stuff, 11 GB you would maybe use in endgame on a 4 km² map, otherwise there is something wrong.

SSD usage is just because of all the statistics data we track and the default backup mechanism of creating one every half hour. If your server is really big, you can reach up to 8 GB of savegame data + 24 backups on default, totalling near 200 GB. That is perfectly normal. There is not much that could be done, it's just that much data that is produced in Eco to keep the law system going and being able to react to any action anyone on the server has ever done. You can of course reduce the amount of backups, frequency or don't make any at all if you're really restricted by SSD space.

Take a look on how the official White-Tiger server does it. First, it has some balancing changes, second it starts with a pre-established community and government concept that serves as a framework for people to play in, third our computer lab recipe requires several ten-thousands of goods from all professions in the game, fourth we usually have a world wonder monument built every cycle that requires lots of resources of all kinds. Alltogether despite the poor balancing we unfortunately still have in the game due to lack of fleshes out profession content aside from smiths and engineers, every player no matter which profession he plays has a use until the last days. It becomes grindy, though - but on the other hand you get a use for the endgame machinery that you usually would skip anyway, as you can shoot the meteor down the moment you get it on vanilla servers.

Obviously this doesn't work for every kind of players, but it's working well for us. Of course we also use an ada...

It will do something for that, but as we stated in one of our last newsletters, fixing that up completely will take lots of time and happen over several major updates.

The performance wasn't good before, either. I mentioned the performance, though.

That has nothing to do with Patch 8.0, though, but with the fact reviews, and therefore positive ones too, were little last month in total and the performance problems we undoubtedly have. They don't refer to 8.0 changes, but to performance and connection problems we are working on. In 30 days reviews - without any changes to the game, we fluctuate between Mixed, over Mostly Positive to Very Positive all the time. It's not really a good indicator of a games quality when not watched in context if there has been an update lately or something that would cause this.

The Unspec we did remove on purpose as it was mostly abused to circumvent the skill system completely. If that what you say happens, the administrator of the server should adapt the difficulty settings, you can balance that very fine when you know what you are doing - which just needs a bit of experience. As Eco is a very flexible game, administrators must configure their servers properly for the best possible exper...

Just to address your points:

A) Eco will get an Ecopedia in 9.0 directly in-game with more information, that will be expanded over time.
B) Sad stuff, indeed.
C) We do two major updates like this each year, it's just our cycle. After 9.0 on my request we aim for more regular, but smaller updates.
D) Sad to hear that this is your opinion. Feel free to go into more detail, as we've got totally different feedback mostly. The guys working on the wiki somewhat actively are about five, so that's not a matter of people not liking gameplay, as i know all of them.

The wiki is a community wiki, if something is missing, just add it :)

The most precise, without accidentally lying, i can give you is this year.

You need to count from the ground level that is above you, not from water surface. If you are digging below a mountain, it's the amount of blocks below the mountain, specifically the highest block above the block you are standing on. (Thats why it says surface, not water level)

No, we don't have any plans for that. Eco is a game with multiplayer in mind. Replacing them with NPCs is not what we envision for the game.

You can actually set the authorisation for call posts while holding a hammer ;)

Hello,

it's not possible in the fashion you want to do it.

But you could create a title and only allow this title doing stuff via the law system, like place / pick up, etc.

We have a lot of law-examples on our discord, including a deserter law using demographics: discord.gg/eco

Pushing the globe agenda makes money, but as others have already assured you, the world is actually flat. (2D Map in 9.0 confirmed)

Because only authorized people can interact with world objects on your property.

I'm not sure, but doesn't furniture also have authorization settings? Probably try setting those to public. If it doesn't, we might add that.

We don't intend to do another feature for that, the Auto Run feature is meant for covering that and worked well for us in testing.

Auto Run defaults to Sprinting, as long as you have enough calories.
