Like many of our more "special" commands, this is a QA command. It's mostly used for automated and manual testing, those commands are done in a way as they are needed for CI / QA and tend to break in some ways at points, get changed to fit our needs or otherwise do things. We don't usually fix them or put increased care on them to follow logical style, they just need to work for whatever we need them to currently - dirty, basically. I'll make a suggestion to fix this one up, but I can neither tell you if that is going to be done nor when, and it may change afterwards again for the reasons I stated.

Please note the description of the setting - setting it to notably higher values can affect performance notably in a negative way.

You can find the drops if connection worked correctly in the void storage on every server you join, it's the strange loop icon in the bottom right corner, to the left of the map area. If your twitch still shows "Connect" that is an issue at their side, we were told it will resolve itself.

Steam linking on our side should also now be working correctly in all cases, for anyone that had problems with that before today.

We have already made a fix for this rolling out in the first hotfix, which is scheduled for tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

This seems to be caused by playing on a world with invalid height, e.g. over 160. We're looking into if we can make a fix for this, but it likely will require a new world.

You are supposed to get claim papers on levelups when using no collaboration setting, we'll address this in the first hotfix.

Just watch this thread (or join Discord and send me a DM), if we need some testing we'll reach out.

We did keep them loadable as we had quite a bit of feedback by players in the past that would like to just visit older saves to take a look on what they built for "historic" reasons. I'm honestly not sure that was a good idea, but we're also humans with learning processes :)

We will address issues that are not caused by the migration (there is some related to settlements off), but none that are caused by the migration itself, given it's just not possible.

We have never supported Linux clients, we provide the build as-is without warranty and support. Same for Mac. They get no active development, only occasional treatment.

See our official support list:

Support Status of Eco on different Operating Systems

Windows 10+ (64 Bit): Supported.

Windows 10+ (32 Bit): Supported until Update 9.6 - No longer supported or provided for later Updates.

Linux: Unsupported. Development builds available and provided as-is without warranty. We recommend to use Proton. (Server: Supported.)

Mac without M1: Unsupported. Development builds available and provided as-is without warranty.

Mac with M1: Unsupported. Development builds not working at all.

Steam Deck: Unsupported. Compatibility: Playable, no adjustments made. Windows: Works. Linux: Development build available and provided as-is without warranty.

There is a known issue in regards to fishing poles we're investigating.

We're not seeing major problems with achievements yet. The "Dilettante" achievement is gained for creating culture via the pictures in frames, not a statue - they don't give any culture.

Any other achievements not working, ignoring the tracking?

Thank you for the report, we'll take a look at this. Unfortunately the issue is not reproducable for us, so we may need to get back to you to request specific information or help us out with testing a custom build. Would you be willing to do that?

Eco is made for experiences on public servers, where there is indeed people around all the time. If you're into such systems and like to get into added complexity beyond the bare vanilla experience, the official server "White Tiger" starting tomorrow is a good start - it makes extreme use of government and civic systems, but also has a pretty complex setup to do so. You can find all information on it on our discord: https://discord.gg/eco. This specific official server has specific progression and a endgame recipe that is extremely difficult and requires all of the hundreds of players to get together until the very last day. You also get Universal Basic Income for a easier start and consistently being able to follow your own goals as well. No... Read more

No, that still works like before. Unfortunately we're not able to reproduce this issue, can you reach out to [email protected], you will likely need to attach your savegame and your configs, depending on what they need.

That is a different issue with load on our website we're working on. You can join the discord at https://discord.gg/eco to be informed regularly about the status in the #news channel.

Yes, though that is unrelated to this topic where settlements are not enabled. You can find the setting in Settlements.eco:

"MinCitizensToFoundSettlement": [3, 12, 25],

Town, Country, Federation

This is a known issue at twitch, we were told it will fix itself after a while, so waiting is currently the only option when affected.

They work the same as before, but waterwheels and windmills provide very little power amount now, so you need to use a steam engine. The range of mechanical power was increased to be the same range as for electrical power :)

This is a QA command and works as intended.

Only been playing for a day and I'm loving it!

We don't support the client on linux, which is why Steamdeck doesn't run well. It works when using Windows on the Deck quite okay I heard, though.
