	To run a server locally without Steam, you first need to grab the server files from [https://play.eco/ Eco's website] under "Account". This requires you to sign in to your SLG account and to have purchased Eco through that account or a linked Steam account. On the account page, there is a section that lists the current version of Eco and the current staging release with download links for both. Clicking on the "Server" link for the version you want will download a .zip file of the server.
