Geforce Now Support Please

(We do investigate support for per-world configs optionally in the future, though)

In any case it doesn't really matter what I think personally, the current state after developer investigation is that it is not possible with how Eco cu...

I don't know how Factorio works in detail and if they use multiplayer dedicated servers for singleplayer like we do. But a quick Google has shown that Steam Cloud and their save file sizes often causes issues for players and that their save files seemingly don't go into the gigabyte range for a single long-played savefile as can happen with Eco. They also don't seem to save backups of the same size for a longer time that are part of each world in Eco. (And the world is the save)

Local server configuration?

I went with the initial tip to just change the local files. Worked fine :) Just wished we wouldn't need to tamper with files to begin with

Can unfortunately not reproduce. Starting a local server through the game, typing /serverui, alt-tabbing out and there it is in the task bar.

CART is bugt

Quality Assurance. It's used by developers and made for developers, not for users. Hence the effects might not be very obvious or as a player would expect.

non-limited inventory? Meaning I can carry anything?

And, what do you mean "pick stuff to place"? Basicly spawn it in?

Also, I noticed a "Yet", does that mean it might be coming?
Yes, the restrictions to carried items ... Read more

Hab ich gemacht, jetzt geht gar nix mehr^^ "Failed to connect to the local server".
Habe mich aber auch schon an den Support gewandt.

Du hast ein anderes Problem, da hilft das nichts. Meine Antwort war an den Vorposter. Bei dir ist das Savegame korrupt, das ist kein Savegame mehr. Backups probieren :... Read more

I made a video about how much I love Eco

Great video :)
(Though I wouldn't say 6 years of EA, as availability on our website was an alpha - a real one.)

You can temporarily rollback your game by right-clicking Eco in your library, choosing Properties -> Betas and selecting 9.5.4 in the dropdown. Make sure to set this back to none when the server updated.

Hey fellow Eco Citizens,
after a month of successful playtesting with you, our community, and Eco modders, we're ready to release Update 9.6. This Update focuses majorly on improving the immersion within Eco, adding 3D models to every food in the game as well as a whole new First Person View with countless new animations. We're rounding that off by adding Shop Carts for your mobile business needs and a major new system changing up the economy: Food Spoilage!


Food Spoilage A major problem in the real world is food waste. With this Update we are introducing a completely new mechanic that adds a shelf life to all food items and crops in Eco (configurable with a multiplier) depending on the type of the food. Once the shelf life of a food runs out, it spoils and is only good for making compost.

will u add pvp in this game?

No, we have no plans to add that kind of PvP to Eco.

Does anyone know how to normalize the animals in the game, for example wild animals

Comment
    SLG-Dennis on Steam Forums - Thread - Direct
Very subjective, when we had more aggressive animals, the community was pretty outraged and we toned that down again. We have no plans to go back to aggressive animals. (Including due to several people having written to us that the display wasn't realistic, as nearly all of the animals we have in Eco would not attack, even when attacked)

Something like that seems very exciting especially for implementing cargo industries to really make it more worthwhile to really invest on separate islands for certain crops and especially with keeping oil production far away from civilization.

Boats are planned for Update 10.

Local server configuration?

Or you just use the UI to make the settings and copy the files to your local (embedded) server :)

Edit: I think there is also a command for opening the server UI. Try "/server" and see what commands it suggests.

For a house to count it indeed needs to be claimed and you being a resident of the claim it is on.
