The Holidays are approaching and we want to take this moment to thank our wonderful community for the incredible support this year, we appreciate it so much! In the past months we've been working hard on upcoming Update 9.5 and are excited to share more about it in the coming year.



Until then, we've covered Eco in festive decorations again, for you to enjoy the holidays in your games. Elk got back their sweet reindeer appearance, spruce trees light up as christmas trees and the distribution station has been decorated and is ready for you gifting storage crates wrapped as presents to your fellow players in your communities.

We wish you and your families happy holidays and a healthy new year. May your wishes come true!

With love,
The Eco Team

9.1.5 has been released and fixes the following issues:

• Fixed bug with skid steer and excavator creating rubble that couldn't be picked up
• Updated User.eco.template to have new format (existing server configs will be unaffected)

A large part of the networking code has been overhauled for this release. The server now uses UDP on port 3000 for game traffic by default, and TCP on port 3001 for web traffic by default. If you were forwarding ports to your dedicated servers in the past, you will need to update your rules accordingly, including any rules in firewall programs.
In most instances, you should no longer need to port forward when hosting a server. We'd recommend using the steam friends "join game" feature to easily join each other games, instead of needing to find IP address and connect manually.
Moved the "MaxSlots" configuration value from the Users.eco config to the Network.eco config
JOIN SCREEN
New layout and visual style. Among other things, the new layout allows many more servers to fit on the screen.
This screen has been split into 2 tabs - one for only the servers that you are most likely to join (for example, your favorites, LAN servers, and official SLG servers), and the other for browsing for a new server. This allows you to view the first tab without having to query all the servers, which is more expensive.
Added many new searching, sorting, and filtering features
Improved performance by limiting how many servers are displayed
Added a new category on the server browser for 'Test Servers', which for now will link only the official SLG test server for the next version. Players will need to switch to staging to join this build, and a popup will inform them of that if they attempt.
GARBAGE
You can now drop any non-carried items into garbage piles
If left alone, food items will decompose into nothing
If left alone, other items will become trash blocks which will cause minor pollution
VEHICLES
Added a modern pickup Truck!
Added the hand plough
Added a nimble Skid-Steer vehicle


Vehicles can now dump in the water
GAMEPLAY
Unstuck can now extract players from ditches, correct invalid positions, added a delay to unstuck
Added hewn log, lumber, and stone signs for both standing and hanging.
You can no longer consume food when full.
Candle Stands no longer require solid ground.
Zero and low population plants will now be force spawned into worlds without them.
After activating the meteor destruct sequence, removing lasers or generators or otherwise breaking the laser setup will now cancel the destruct sequence.
MOD.IO
Official integration with mod.io is now ready! https://eco.mod.io/
A server can subscribe to, download, and install mods from mod.io
GENERAL SERVER CHANGES
Servers with several thousand world objects should notice fewer cases where world objects seem unresponsive.
We are now tracking which world objects need to be saved and saving is distributed over time.
Saving during shutdown is much faster.
Save all now also saves recent block changes
Added proper detection and handling of save-game corruption.
If a save is corrupt upon starting, it will restore the most recent backup.
If a save is corrupt mid-game, it will delete it and resave everything.
Made the server start auto-backups by default.
Spaced out backups. Now there are by default 6 made for the last hour, 10 for the last day, -7 for the last week, and up to 100 weekly backups. These numbers are configurable in the backup plugin.
Made any server errors that are logged also send to all admins via chat.
Fixed a crash when commands cannot be parsed
Hid many testing chat commands from players
Fixed an exception thrown when a mod overrides
PlayerDefaults.GetDefaultSkills to be empty.
Show a better stack trace in the tooltip if the tooltip errors out.
Blacklisted a few characters from usernames, which caused people not to be able to use chat. Namely '<' and '>'. These will now be automatically replaced with '?' the first time a player signs into a server.
GENERAL CLIENT CHANGES
Now using a borderless window that remains visible when unfocused
Improved client performance a bit in areas with lots of world objects
Fixed a bug that sometimes made you press interact twice when reopening a world object UI.
Fixed some client / server prediction desyncs
Disabled the unfocused fps limiter, it didn't work properly when vsync was enabled.
Users can now copy the log file easily when an error occurs. Log file will also be attached when bugs are reported.

- Disabled shader warmup in opengl (fixes initial freeze on linux/mac)
- Fixed some startup crashes related to districts
- You can now remove districts that are referenced only by failed/repealed laws

The first part of the vehicles update, 7.4, will be entering staging testing soon. This will have the plough, skid steer, and truck available. We'll keep updating on the stability going forward, but you can always freely grab the latest from the bleeding_edge branch inside of steam if you want an early look.

Added Steam Friend Listing in the server browser
Fixed aqueducts not transporting water correctly
Fertilizer will now stack
Fishing no longer causes ghost fish to (not) appear in your inventory
Fish will now bite slightly faster
Repairs now scale with the skill required to repair them

World markers now appear on a list in a Minimap panel.
You can now see all markers on the minimap and click them.
Added the concept of global markers, which can be set by the server leader and will be displayed to everyone. These can be hidden per-user.
'Add Marker' in the minimap will add to where you're looking at.
Updated the string table with more strings, removed some invalid strings.
Fixed the fuel supply tab remaining time display not showing up.
Prevent stats errors from kicking people / crashing the server (instead they will show an error message in the server console).
Fixed some stat related crashes (The "Cannot insert duplicate key in unique index '_id'" ones and the "The given key was not present in the dictionary." ones. Save files that already saw the latter may not be fixed, but new instances should not happen.)
Made the Icebox auth default to 'inherit' instead of 'public', like other storage objects
Save config file when selecting 'skill points on action' on a local world
Better messaging when /ban fails to find user
Fixed a case of carts having the wrong weight
Fixed buying/selling multiple of the same item being recorded as only one buy/sell action, for graphs and laws

Adds ability to reset keybindings to default.
Prevents issue where users get deadlocked after assigning keys.
Fixes misc. bugs related to above
Fixed land animals occasionally getting stuck under water
Stopped the toolbar from scrolling while the cursor is shown
Prevented an exploit where you could continue dragging and dropping an item stack while walking around
Almost certainly fixed dragged item icons getting stuck floating on the screen. Hopefully.
Fixed searching on the search and select window before all items have loaded (eg. the store selection window)
Fixed an exploit where negative-priced store items would cause you to pay negative tax (thus stealing from the government)
At stores, the person spending money on each offer pays taxes for that transaction. Eg. if you sell items at a store, the store owner pays taxes. Conversely, if you buy a negatively priced item at a store, the store owner pays taxes.
In store windows, tooltips, and the economy viewer, quantities for 'buying' listings all now show the number of items that the store wants to buy minus the number in its inventory.
Fixed a crash when trying to repair the road tool
Fixed a bug where the skillpoints bar would get stuck at maximum
Fixed a crash caused by multiple people rapidly right clicking on the same stack of items.

WorldObjects now automatically set animation controller parameters, see ModKit wiki for details.
Added scripts to modkit

• MaterialEvents - use in conjunction with unityevents to animate material properties
• iTween Visual Editor - flexible tweening for animating movment / properties
• EcoLight - make lights that play well with Global illumination.
• SyncPhysics - keeps physics in sync (makes custom rubble & vehicles possible)

Cleaned up the wiki a bit and added an in-depth getting started tutorial covering the complete process of creating a client-object mod
PERFORMANCE
A large amount of performance changes were done that will allow the server to handle considerably more players concurrently than before. Our stress test had close to 70 players on a 16km? server at once!
Optimized object relevancy check by finally adding that spatial partition we've put off forever.
Optimized the connect-to-server process of the client
Claiming property no longer causes stalls for all clients
Minimap updates are now much more efficient (helps increase players per server limit). On larger worlds, the minimap may take some time to load in fully.
Optimized some of the animal simulation code, removed some concurrency issues that caused animals to sometimes just stand in place

Fixed ‘Items In Container’ contracts not saving list of items.
Fixed inserting items via right-click not counting for contracts.
Fixed display of items left to place in world markers for contracts.
Fixed Contracts to properly handle temporary, limited authorization on objects (you can put bricks into a container you don’t own if you have a contract allowing it, but you can’t remove them).
Fixed currency exchanges working despite bad room requirements.
Fixed currency exchanges failing if you try to use default currencies.
Fixed currency exchanges letting non-authed users mess with the lists.
Fixed issue where server search got out of sync with the displayed search string
Blast furnaces can now be placed outside
Fixed a web API exploit, allowing anyone to set server config remotely.
Sadly, "/unstuck" while driving will no longer do awesome things
Fixed silly avatars when destroying a cart someone else is driving
Replace stockpile exception with a warning if the world<->inventory sync fails, instead of crashing the server
Fix float parsing which has issues in other cultures and caused misc weird issues, including some "connection failed"
Fixed occupancy for solar generator, stove, repair station, stove, washboard, couch, padded chair, and washing machine
*Fixed missing art for washboard and washing machine objects
Blocks that don't stick to walls will now fall immediately (fixes phantom blocks when falling across chunk borders)
Object spawning is now synchronized to prevent weird physics collisions that often sent objects flying
Fixed cut trees occasionally floating w/o gravity
Players no longer get stuck when stockpiles change or blocks are placed where they are standing
Vehicles, rubble and trees should fall through the world much less frequently
Vehicle acceleration has been clamped so launching vehicles should be much more difficult
Dev Tool can now target more things
Display full stack traces in the disconnection dialog when disconnected due to an exception. This will make reported bugs much easier to fix.
Fixed a typo in a chat command name ('exeptional' -> 'exceptional')
Fixed some more moderately rare chunk build exceptions
Fixed a bug where the fish caught would sometimes not seem to be added to your inventory
Fixed being unable to move after exiting a text box using 'Escape'

Fixed issue that prevented Linux server from running as a background process
Can no longer propose new districts with unnamed districts or districts with the same name. Servers stuck with districts with the same name should be able to redefine them to have unique names now.
Fixed redefining districts being incorrectly prevented due to editing a district that is referenced by another law
Fixed existing law text not getting updated when districts are renamed
Fixed a server crash from air pollution emitting objects, which was due to threading problems
Fixed a server crash that happened when double clicking 'x' on a store listing
Fixed a login problem that may have caused users to log in as someone else
On object windows, the 'Status' tab is now hidden if there is nothing on it
On object windows, the 'Storage' tab shows an 'empty' message if there is no linked storage on it, rather than just being empty
Each time you open an object window, the first tab is shown, regardless of what tab you had open when you last closed it - Unless the object is disabled, in which case the 'Status' tab is shown.
