Tips on running an ECO server? New server soon?

Comment

Set up an auto-restart in case the eco server client crashes. The game can be a bit buggy. There is a tool someone made for auto-restarting eco servers, but I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head. RAM is very important for the game. I would recommend a server CPU with ECC RAM for error correction, and I think 32GB of RAM is a good target for a big server. But I'm not 100% sure since I haven't run a server with over 100 players. The CPU needs to handle a lot of data pretty fast as well, so try to get some GHz on it. That's my thoughts at least. Good luck!

High frequency desktop CPUs are much better suited and much cheaper as well. ECC memory can possibly be used on respective boards for newer Ryzen generations, but isn't really necessary for this type of application. Automatic restarts on failure and once a day are indeed recommended currently.

It indeed is. You possibly had manually configured "SkillGainMultiplier", which you can now find in Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Configs/Balance.eco. That multiplier affects the experience rate, but has never been part of any of the defaults.

is this a cheater?

The only way to join a passworded server without entering the password is being an admin on it. If you want us to investigate, please send your savegame and the Network.eco config file to [email protected].

If you have purchased the credits via Steam, you can refund them according to their terms via their support. If you purchased them on our website, you can send a request to [email protected].

Please note that purchased blueprints do not get used up and are available per world. If you buy one blueprint, you can use it once on as many worlds as you want at the same time.

Hearing a random russian in voice chat in my private server

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
The channel id is generated on the first start of a local world and kept as long as the game isn't completely removed. It should never be equal to the one of someone else if files weren't copied around, which sometimes happens by accident when people copy or share files, for example for setting up multiple servers or helping each other with an issue. It can also happen with server hosts that provision servers by using a template where they forgot to remove the channel id and as such have the same channel id for multiple servers.

That's why I asked for the file to be sent to my colleagues for further investigation, as I can't tell you why you would have the same ID. As long as there is no other player visible that you don't recognize in the "O" list, there is noone else on your world and that's the only reason that makes sense.

The voice chat is area based, so someone must have both the same channel id and be at the same coordinates in their world. You can turn o... Read more

It's neither of that, but likely a case of the Voice.eco config file containing the same voice channel id for your game and the game of the other person. Please feel free to send us your /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Configs/Voice.eco to [email protected] so we can check why that is and then delete it, which should resolve the issue.

You should really try to increase your food and housing experience, with five stars a rate of 54 isn't that great.

The premade experience settings have not changed in the last two years. Without seeing how many stars you already have and what your experience rate is I unfortunately cannot say much more, feel free to send that information to [email protected], so they can look into it deeper.

Skill Cost Multiplier determines the amount of experience needed to the next star, the higher the more, the lower the less. It doesn't change your experience rate at all.

Experience gain for stars is time based, only experience towards levelups in skills is based on crafting / work. Improve your experience modifier by eating balanced, good food and adding furniture to your home.

Use a store that belongs to a deed I own ? / Use my own store ?

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Stores that are on deeds that you have authentication on are in "management" mode for you, e.g. not usable for selling to them, but for configuring them.

I don't know out of my head if this will work, but you could try to have the deed with the stores on them owned by a title that you are a manager of, but not a holder. If it does work, you could add yourself to holder everytime you need to change something on the deed / store and then remove yourself again.

No, the visibility of a stockpile in the menu depends on how far away it is from the object you are accessing and on if you have access to it - if it is too far away or not accessible, its not being displayed.

Visiblity is controlled by authorization and distance only.

You can configure the growth rate for all plants at once via a config setting now and the most important config settings can be changed at world creation and afterwards via the ESC menu in Update 11.

Possible Bug Moving things from one storage to another

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
The only time I had such an issue is when my Logitech G903 broke and holding down the left mouse button would randomly stop being recognized despite still pressed.

An issue in the game causing that is at least not known or reported, if you have a case that can be reproduced mouse and pc independant you can file a bug report on our GitHub, though.

How to find eco player / server list

Comment

In addition to what u/SLG-Dennis said, you can also ask here. We aren't allowed to spam advertise servers, but I don't believe there are any rules preventing you from searching for the right one here. :)

Indeed, it's only considered a server ad if it is posted unsolicited or advertising a specific server. Looking for group / Looking for server and similar posts, despite regularly reported as well, are currently considered fine.

Especially the settlement system has caused an increase in players looking for someone with specific professions for a settlement on some server, without being related with the server directly, so we think that should be allowed.

Well, we would need a copy of the savegame and logs, can send to [email protected].
A database starting point save and one that grew "massively" later to compare would also be useful.
Also a full list of mods.

By not assuming malice with anyone, e.g. not considering someone that posted constructive and polite feedback (no matter if I or we personally agree or not) insufferable to begin with.

Thank you for your reply, and for not dismissing me out-of-hand. Devs who are open to feedback and communication like this are awesome.

P.S. at risk of killing the funny, perhaps I should clarify that the (a) and (b) contrast was only supposed to be a humorous rhetorical device emphasizing how welcoming the game otherwise is for pacifist players. I hope no one read that thinking SLG could earnestly have been taking such a political stance, apologies if it came across that way.

In text, especially on Reddit with it's somewhat "No Emojis" stance, it can be very hard to recognize any rhetorical devices that aren't conveyed through simple text. I didn't get it as what you intended it to be, but also not as malicious. :)
