Honestly I think they should just change it up.

Upgrading your tools increases the amount of X resource you can carry, otherwise there's really not much of a reason for upgrading things like the hoe/sickle. Abstract it by saying since it's sharper/more efficient you can get less of the stuff you have to get rid of by hand so you're just able to carry that much more of X resource, be it 'carried' or in the pack.

Please for the love of god let me actually use a shovel to pick up ten clods instead of 3-5 until late game, without needing a mod.

The change to give them more carry capacity lately already was a compromise we made requiring at least progression, given many in the team (me included) don't think that should be possible at all - we ultimately agreed on that players at least shouldn't be able to pick up that amount of stuff from the start without machinery. Terraforming, often used as a absolutely valid argument for it, is just specifically not supposed to happen that early as of the design intention of the vanilla game. It is one prime example of what should feel really hard to do until you get into later game.

Chances for us to do that are hence currently near-zero. (And then we'd need a mod to revert it, as multiple of the bigger and more economical collaboration focused servers consider this easy-mode and detrimental for the economy that also works off manual labour contracts, including official server White Tiger.)

I think with the progression based compromise and the ability to use a mod for...

The private groups who don't participate with anyone else on the server?

But they would win ... SCNR.

But, no really, what would this change? You can already coordinate with other players to fight them economically or with annexation. Any tactical warfare system would just require resources as well and hence require the same coordination with which you can already fight them within the existing system.

While possible, that is not yet planned.

As with most games, servers hosted by the community are managed to the liking of their owners. We're not responsible for nor monitor community servers. Our ToS applies to Eco servers just like it does to any player. (Means mostly no-zero-tolerance policy content, no exchange of money for any kind of ingame advantage, etc.)

No, it's a known issue, going to be resolved in the next patch.

There is many possible causes for performance degradation, it's not some single issue that could be easily fixed. We provide a developer build for users with that issue that they can use to give us the necessary data to find the cause for their specific problem, see this copied from Discord:

We have prepared a development build allowing to collect diagnosis data about performance issues for WT players.

If you have any sort of FPS issues and want to help getting those fixed, you can now switch to branch "release_dev" in Steam by right clicking Eco -> Properties -> Betas -> Select branch from dropdown. The branch is compatible to join any servers on the current release version and enables you to provide the data we need. You cannot get this data on the regular release version - reports from there can't be taken.

Please read the following careful - reports that do not contain all necessary information unfortunate...

The version was available on the default branch and the steam branch "10.1.4" since the announcement, as always. You may need to restart Steam to be able to see it.

Hey Citizens,
we have just released Hotfix 10.1.4 to address the following issues:

Civics:
  • Fixed: In specific circumstances annexation didn't work due not consuming the necessary resources.
  • Fixed: When a bank account on a bank was destroyed due to the linked settlement dissolving, its owner received double the amount of currency they had on the bank account to their personal account.
  • Fixed: Joining a settlement by placing a homestead with the respective option enabled was not possible when foreign property ownership was disallowed in the immigration policy.
  • Improved: When a deed has more claimed plots than claim papers supporting them, there is now a timer counting down before unsupported plots will be removed.
  • Improved: The error notification when an annexation fails due to not consuming the necessary resources was made more helpful.
Gener... Read more

We're going to evaluate the usefulness of the trawler for next update - when outside of an area where there is actual physical fish it only has a random chance to catch fish (that technically doesn't exist, but only catching fish where there is physical fish would be very unsatisfying), alike to to fish traps.

Thanks, we'll be looking at it.

Rename your current install to \Eco2, download the new server into \Eco, then copy over the configs and storage directory from \Eco2 to \Eco, without overwriting the configs when asked, so the templates of the new server stay.

Removed for rule 4 - the post solely serves as information about a server, people being given the join details in the comments. No actual help of any kind was requested that could be given via reddit itself - hence classified a try to circumvent rule 4.

We'll take a look.

I'm not seeing the bug. Pictures will cap their culture to the lower of the artists' and the pictures' reputation. Means, you need an artist that has very high personal reputation to reach this _and_ a picture that has very high reputation. A Magnum Opus, after all.

Download the new server and move over your configs (without overwrite, to not override the templates) and storage directory from the old, then start the new one. Monzuns approach can leave files around that should be gone, which can include the web directory and is generally more time costly.

You just need to pay a tax of 1000 or more currency at once (!) in a backed currency (e.g. one made at the mint).

The tax rates on White Tiger are insane though (15% + 15% on luxury goods). And they hardly use that tax money. I tried buying, transporting and selling stuff because people tend to be lazy. But that is impossible without bankrupting yourself.

Also they do not let people build dirt roads on their planned street districts. That means like in the first 5-6 days you have to build alternate roads outside of the planned grid. By that point nobody needed the planned streets. They were actually more of a hindrance.

That's not insane but average european taxing, especially given endgame recipes need to be funded - next to other countless projects WT has. Sales tax doesn't apply to flying traders without skills at all. Everyone gets universal basic income that is untaxable. Also, you are free to try reaching the goal with lower taxes by going into politics - they are not set by the administration. Insane taxation much rather applies to groups with lots of differing skills, but that's the point of the system.

Only N-S and W-E highways are pre-districted and need the respective title from the Federal Government to work on them. This cycle they don't exist though, as winning the domination victory led to the winner choosing them being replaced with boat canals for this cycle as the victory reward.

The obvious is Minecraft servers with economics, factions, and governance mods. There is less progression and more creativity, but it hits similar notes especially when a server is reset for a new version.

That's where I came from to Eco, though you missed the ecology mods.
