Setup:
Download the server files from the eco main site or take the files from your "steamapps\common\Eco\Eco_Data\Server" folder.
Copy it where you want to have your server files (DRIVE:\gameservers\eco dedicated\)
Run EcoServer within the server folder first time. Wait until the server fully loaded and the server gui shows up
close the server. (safely! not with task manager process kill)
Locate your firewall or windows firewall and open the ports for 3000/3001 inbound/outbound tcp/udp. (Note: You can define other ports in "Server\Configs\Network.eco if" needed)
(Optional) If you are behind a router: You may need to portforward the ports to your pc/server.
Locate your "Server\Configs" config files and do your configs as needed.
(optional) If you changed the world settings or seed you want to play on: Delete/rename Game.eco and Game.db "\Server\Storage"
Run EcoServer again
Share your IP with your friends you want to play this and enjoy Eco ;)
(Note: Some ethernet providers have 24h ip reset. You need to look up your current ip everytime)
Configs of initial interest:
(Note: These configs are tested on root servers and balanced by SIG-Server out for 3-10 players 30-Days period. Change them like you want to have them)
