Yes.

Well, you will need to find out what blocks it. Can start with exempting Eco in any security software or turning that off.

That's due to something impeding your connection to our authentication servers. Most often security software, firewalls, ISP restrictions and the like. Authentication is checked server-side in Eco, hence when you start a singleplayer game, you start the server locally and the check cannot be performed. When you join an online server there is no issue, as the server can reach the server and perform the check just fine.

As a person formerly working in a datacenter I do fully agree it has been time for supporting IPv6 everywhere five years ago. We also do have it planned, but as so many other games, softwares and ISPs rolling it out is still super slow for common reasons of priorities, even though stuff got faster there lately - but especially games still lack a lot. I personally think it needs to be way faster, but being on the other side of the complaints about missing IPv6 I also do understand that the priority that can be given to that is only very low in many circumstances - I'm basically dragged between two chairs there.

I hope it being planned at least is somewhat relieving, even if it doesn't help you right now. ISPs no longer giving dedicated IPv4s is becoming more and more common, but it actually playing a role somewhere is still too rare. I also still have IPv4 without tunnel - that changing every day (or in my case 7 days) has been common practice for all providers in my country...

I do not think there will be a problem with someone only being able to log in a couple of hours a day - that is already way more than is needed. Like, internally, we assume that on public servers players log in once per day for 30 minutes. That's simply what we feel is needed for 'active' play and is what a lot of our systems evolve around - not more, not less.

I do understand that you feel that this might be a problem on a server that only has a single cook - but if you're on a server with just friends or very small public servers it's totally fine if you change the setting for spoilage if you feel that is something you can't sustain, that's why options are there.

On the average public server that has multiple cooks, but some leaving soon due to one ruling them all (which is one of the problems we try to address) that is no problem though, same on the more active community servers as there is plenty cooks available - and as I said above, it is totally intended that...

Yes, it will.

We unfortunately have no plans to support Mac at all at this time, sorry.

Because it is. It's the first part of maintenance for things in Eco and as such helping with economical issues on servers that are one of the main reasons why players leave early - when they have nothing more to do, because market is simply saturated by a few, given there is no need to ever replace something.

Food spoilage requires planning and gives better sale chances given there is no way to just queue up orders till christmas. It's fully within the idea of the game as well to make overproduction have consequences.

If you don't like it, you can configure the multiplier in a way it won't be relevant for you.

Eco doesn't support IPV6 currently, no.

There is some plans, but nothing that can be revealed before release of this Update :)

It's a video, not a link. Probably a mobile problem, someone else said something similar a while back.

They do, but I'm not sure that works as intended.

Hey Citizens,

the last two weeks we've been working intensively with our community on the public playtests to address arising issues and feedback.

There is still a bit more we need to work on until release, but we're now ready to announce our planned release date for Update 9.6: August 31!

Check out our video summarizing the highlights of Update 9.6 - Food Spoilage, 3D Food, First Person Hands & Animations and our brand new Shop Carts.
