[@AnotherJRB]

I enjoyed the review and the anecdotes, but a point of order: it's completely possible to play ECO in singleplayer. Just tweak the settings to gain stars faster, and to require less material for crafting. It's a huge timesink and you have to be committed to doing literally every task and profession in the game, since all the tech is interconnected, but if you like progressing up an enormous tech tree and can keep all of the many crafting chains straight in your head, it is quite enjoyable even solo.

[@cavejohnson982]

Could you reccomend a set of settings? I bought eco years ago but never got any friends to get it too. So i dont really knwo what to tweak..

[@LuaanTi]

@@cavejohnson982 There's presets for different kinds of servers, including a solo-style game. If you start the dedicated server, you have full control over the parameters of the simulation through a simple GUI. The solo preset is fine, though if you want a faster game, there's definitely things you can do - but don't worry about it too much, since you can change those at any time. If you find yourself waiting too much or doing too much grind for your fun, just make crafting faster or yield more. There's quite a range of options :)

[@cavejohnson982]

thanks! @@LuaanTi

[@AnotherJRB]

@@cavejohnson982 You can change the settings in an ongoing game, so I would start with the "no collaboration" preset. Then as you play and get a sense for how the progression feels, depending on how challenging/grindy you want the game to be, you can use admin commands to adjust the settings so you can get stars faster (needed to take on new professions), and/or increase XP rate (or edit the Difficulty.eco file directly, if you prefer).

[@Screwypone]

This is the most scariest game that I still want to get; I got no friends that has that amount of time to invest into this, amongst other games. This might honestly convince me to buy it for the solo experience or the occasional friends

I was one of the major kickstarter backers for Eco way back in the day, I remember playing it for a few hours at launch and immediately getting overwhelmed by my social anxiety when it came to just dropping into a server and playing. Sadly it had ballooned in scope more than I was comfortable with. In the end I watched a few videos about the game, felt my money was well spent for others enjoyment, and then proceeded to forget the game ever existed until this popped up on my feed. I am really glad the law system they implemented turned out to be this compelling though, I remember the early feedback stage and hype when it was first revealed and developed.

[@JackHeywood]

sounds kinda like civcraft, I like it edit: One of the best features of CivCraft (multiplayer minecraft mod) was PrisonPearl. This mod made it so that if you killed a player while an Ender Pearl was on your hotbar, that player would respawn in the End, and their 'soul' would be stored in your Ender Pearl, kinda like a Pokémon ball. The victim could only be released by someone having access to their Pearl. Since there was no server-banning (apart from if you were a cheater), it was up to players themselves to police the gameworld and maintain enormous obsidian vaults for storing criminals' Pearls. Occasionally, prisoners would be freed if their comrades launched a raid on a vault, managing to steal the Pearls back.

[@yoanngrudzien2588]

Sounds awesome and fun! What happened if the ender pearl was destroyed by being thrown into lava for example?

[@thereisnospace]

[@DanksterPaws]

2:06 also, on that comparison, have you heard of One Hour One life? The way you explained the complexities of crafting is the same way you would explain the crafting in that game too.

[@Bomba.02]

The fact that there was corruption between the rich occupations and the government is actually mesmerising. This game threads the line between simulation of reality and social experiment. Are people inclined to act corrupt because of the modern influence of power or does the corruption come from a “natural” tendency, from which modern corruption evolved? It would be so cool to study this tbh

[@peterlewis2178]

Or does it come from the in-game environmental factors? For instance, the ability to get rich and be relied upon making people like their newfound power and want to hold onto it. Like the age-old saying goes, "absolute power corrupts absolutely". Though in reality, I think it's clearly a complex combination of all of these factors, and many more.

[@AxiomaticAssumptions]

'modern influence of power'.... okay. war never changes.

ECO has been such a fun game over the years. I really wish we had some game like Minecraft take some features from it and play up the need to form a community online. Having land deeds, stores, actually needing to rely on other players and so on would be so welcomed... If you want some ECO experience like no other, try the White Tiger server at some point. It's the hardest official server, you can do politics all day every day and still be only a tiny part in a giant machine of some of the best ECO players...

[@LuaanTi]

Haven and Hearth is a brilliant game in just this way. Unfortunately, _extremely_ unfriendly (there's plenty of friendly players, but it only takes one bastard to ruin your game, and there's plenty of those too :D ), and you can't make a private server to play in a more moderated environment :'( It has quite a few features you don't see in games often, and really builds on the persistent MMO world. Minecraft and Eco are still the best options for more chill play, though. It's lovely at least the indies try to keep the UO/SWG vibe alive :)

[@silver_vanguard6025]

I’m developing a Minecraft TFC mod pack heavily inspired by this game, there will be classes and only certain classes will be able to perform actions(loggers are the only one chosen can chop wood, miners are the only one who can mine,etc) packs called “Terra Firma:RPG” and is still I.

[@RikkiNakesone]

I think everyone should be able to "chop wood", at the very minimum level. Say, "survival skills" as a subclass? That way someone could at least make a log cabin, chop fire wood. But not as a profession. Means some old hermit could go live at a lake or river and live off the land, and sell what little abundance he creates.

[@KeterMalkuth]

If you're not familiar with it already, check out Vintage Story. It's something of a spiritual successor to TFC, turned into it's own game.

[@jts1702a]

Hey there CygnusMC. Well done with the review. Right now the game is so under-manned that except the official/large servers, we're always desperate for any semi-active players who'd stay more than 5 minutes to just plop a campsite, then to NEVER be heard of again. Come to Maiestas Haven! Review our society! FEEL the power of a mature, just trade union that occasionally flakes out because real life dads have things to do...and me grumbling in not-so-behind-the-scenes about it.

[@KlassicKelvin]

Social aspect sounds fun. gameplay itself sounds tedious af if all you're doing is harvesting/mining, and building, it really seems like you need alot of friends on this to make it fun. Since you mentioned the comparison to RUST, I'd like to say the big difference is RUST has combat. not saying ECO needs that, but thats what certainly makes RUST engaging.

[@LuaanTi]

It's for people who like working. It's all pretty chill and relaxing, while you slowly transform the world around you (while progressively increasing your ability to affect the world). It's a lot more like Euro Truck Simulator than a typical Minecraft server, and it's built a lot about having a community on a persistent server (with relatively frequent resets - the default gives you just 30 days to destroy the Meteor, but there's hundreds of configuration options to tweak the simulation your way). Making a game engaging by building it around PvP combat (especially "hardcore", with item loss or permadeath) is a cheap copout, IMO. Fake gameplay, built on having the players provide the gameplay... without really giving them anything interesting to do beyond being awful to each other :D And it's very rare to see such a game do anything interesting to the formula, because the fun tends to come from the rush of fighting other players, rather than interesting gameplay itself). I've been bored with combat games for more than a decade now. They focus too much on immediate satisfaction (or frustration), rather than a slow climb, building up, taking your time, finding friends...

[@mattbowdenuh]

As an avid Eco player, I am happy to see it more on youtube. If you do want a long-running server where all settlements and laws and currency are setup only by players, then I would recommend Dadspeed server.

[@HunterTheMan01]

I remember seeing this game many years ago, and wanting to play it badly, but it does appear to be made specifically for a classroom, where you can get a large number of people working together for a dedicated time each week. Good to see that server play is possible, albeit cutthroat lol. Reminiscent of Wurm Online but with less magic.

[@elizabeth5561]

I found this game yesterday and I was interested with how deep it gets. I was shocked to learn it's even deeper than I imagined

[@bexica5676]

I absolutely love Eco! Alter the settings and you can play it in single player. I have had several worlds where I turned off the meteor where I could just vibe. I learned everything when playing on a community server and its discord. Had people help me through the game and understand the mechanics. Definitely helpful to get a head start, but I do love to return to the single payer life.

[@Rob_Katt]

This game is something i always wanted to get into but non of my friends wanted to play it. I think this video might give me the motivation to "convince" them otherwise :3

[@DKforever24]

Its more than possible to play the game solo. I've done it myself and shot the meteor down with 19 days left before impact, starting with 30 days. The neat thing about single player is that time only runs while you are playing, unlike a multiplayer server.

Had this on my wishlist for 2+ years... well, just realised what year it is so it's probably 4-5 years now. This is the most comprehensive video that I have seen about this and it definitely sent this game up to the very top of my wishlist. The only issue why I haven't bought it yet is because I got no friends who has that amount of time to invest into this. Not only that, we also do have clashing schedules on top of our limited free time. I really wish I could play this, but the random multiplayer seems quite daunting. Even moreso with my other commitments. So we're looking at maybe 3 of the 7 days a week (weekends, basically) with maybe 5hrs per session. I really want to get into this deep game.

[@exterminater267]

Game worlds are far too small imo. That and the reason why not many people play is because it requires you to work together, and theres no built in cap to how many people can take a job. Like, if there was a cap on 4 farmers, 4 chefs, etc, then your jobs cant be taken away and you will be able to log on and do something. Maybe that should be a server side setting.

Eco does look like a fun game, after you get into it. though I feel like it's be tricky to get into checking the game on steam it's $30 base price, and checking it's price history it only goes on sale for roughly $24 which maybe is reasonable for some people, but $24-$30 games for a high commitment game where you need a lot of other people to join in with you to have a fun experience makes it a hard sell I can see it working wonderfully in a school environment though if they have a system for that, you have a large group who come in regularly then just allot maybe 1 hour a day to play the game as a part of a lesson assuming you can figure out a system for that to work in getting all those students to have access to the game.

[@HelicopterDown]

I really, really loved Eco's concept, it's just very tedious and overwhelming to play. I wish they focused on letting you play with a handful of players or even have a good singleplayer experience. It's meant to be played with dozens of people, it just isn't for me.

Big gaming needs to be dumb enough to always conclude with Feudal Facism. This has something to do with the "Monkey Computer Model" Imagine nonkeys counting fruit, forming a Logic Gate witch form a computer, 1 and 1 fruit = 0 fruit. Each monkey might have an IQ of what? 3IQ but if paired up logically the Mashine might have an uper limit determined by the amount of monkeys and the Qualety with witch they have been aranged. Now think of the following. A room with a hundret people each who score 100IQ perfectly, they all get one pen and one piece of paper an IQ test, how high can they all score together? We would based on the 3IQ monkey mashine expect this value to have an naive uper limit aboth the enitial value. But as we all know most people aren't computer engineering geniuses and less so our crowd of average smart people. Perhaps some could know a thing or two from having watched a KZbin Short on it. Now the Crowd Organising Itself will score how high? The point being the value will be sorta be set based on the mix of people with few expected diviation forming a sort of Standart Backing Mix to build the Mashin of people. This hardware will only be able to run certain software, Feudal Facism better then Online Democracy.

[@kiarasha1106]

I think this would have a lot of negative real life consequences if it got bigger. Players could manipulate other player/ extort them for real life value or other things (Basically blackmail). I mean that's already prevalent in other games but anyways. Besides that I think this is super cool and amazing game, I haven't played it and this is the first time I saw it. I want to play but Idk if its worth it to buy it, I might idk. Another thing, I think it would be super fun and engaging to implement a law/ union/ government where there is one or a few central stores set up by the government. Players would ship their items to those stores and everything will be sold by the government. This means that even if your a player who doesn't get on a lot, you can still get on and not feel so behind. Also for the players that give the items to the government, they will receive some profit for every item of their type gets sold. For example if the average sale of iron is for 20 gold and now you have an average of five people selling iron you can estimate how much you need to pay them so that the government doesn't lose too much money. In this way you also prevent players from locking prices, and for players that want to be the shop owner, well they can just manage the shop for the government with its laws and rules.
