|
|
* Adjusted initial plant distribution and plant capacity calculations.
'''New World Generation'''
*Overcrowding no longer causes plants to die and instead prevents plants from growing.
 
*Several improvements to plant simulation. Mass extinction in deserts and jungles should no longer happen.
World generation has undergone a variety of changes and improvements. Many new parameters have been added to world generation, such as land/water balance, number of continents and islands, sizes of biomes, and number of water features such as rivers and lakes.  All of these parameters may be tweaked within the world generator config file. As a result, worlds are much more varied with specific resources only being made available within specific biomes.
*Nutrients in soil were added back. (On a existing world it can take up to five real days for layers to regenerate)
 
* Increased initial population of Fireweed and made it growable in Tundra.
In addition, we have reworked the world geology, by adding an assortment of rock types like [[Sandstone]], [[Granite]], [[Shale]], and [[Limestone]]. Certain rock types appear only in specific biomes and at specific depths. These rocks all have different uses in recipes and can be made into unique looking mortared stones. Ores like Iron, Copper, and Gold are now located in specific host rocks which will encourage you to choose the place of your settlement wisely.
*Updated pipes logic. Loops are no longer allowed and the status tab will now give more useful information about possible issues with pipes.
 
* Fixed an issue that caused plants to spawn too close together.
Lakes have been added, and the river generator has been rewritten to have an improved look and feel to them.
*Fixed an issue that caused sounds to disappear.
 
* Fixed a duplication exploit with the lumber stockpile.
 
*Fixed an issue that caused work orders to occasionally halt their progress.
'''New Plants'''
*Fixed an issue that caused icons to not appear when taking items.
 
* Fixed an issue with the modkit that caused sprites to not work.
* Trees: [[Palm]]s, [[Redwood]]s, [[Ceiba]]
*Fixed an issue with the in-game bug reporting system.
* Grasslands: [[Big Bluestem]], [[Switchgrass]], [[Sunflower]], [[Pumpkin]]

*[[Mountain Goat]]
*Fixed text alignment of the in-game news
*[[Bighorn Sheep]]
* Fixed an error when importing the new ModKit into Unity
 
*First batch of improvements to plants to improve their survivability
 
'''New Skill system'''
 
The skill system has been simplified and reworked to encourage active engagement. While specializations will still be based on the same time-gated model as before, you no longer need to choose between improving your current specialties and gaining new ones. Instead of having multiple skills under specialties that all need skillpoints to advance, we've rolled all those benefits into an action-based leveling system. For example, players who choose to take the hewing specialty will be able to hew logs with increasing efficiency and speed as they complete orders rather than being forced to wait on skillpoints to achieve maximum efficiency.
 
The second major change is that the vast majority of recipes are now available without taking the related specialization at a drastically increased cost. This should allow players to experience parts of the game they would have previously been locked out of while still giving players an immediate and powerful benefit for choosing specializations.
 
In addition to more generic benefits for a specialization, player will occasionally be able to choose specialization-specific talents upon leveling up. Talents for a given specialty are mutually exclusive: if you take one you lock yourself out of the other. Do you want to destroy the forest faster or do you want to be able to clean up the debris you leave behind easier? The goal is to encourage you to pick talents that benefit the way you want to play the game.
 
Even with the new changes, don't neglect your diet or house! What used to be skillpoints/day has been changed to an experience multiplier that is applied in two places: the rate at which you gain new specialties and the rate at which those individual specialties level up.
 
 
'''Banks'''
 
We have implemented banks to allow you to create additional bank accounts that you can share with other players. You can set who has access to the account and who is allowed to manage it, which will make playing together easier and also allows the world leader to grant other players access to the treasury. Everywhere where you need to pay with currency you can choose from which bank account you want to make the payment. Of course, you can also set into which bank account payments should go. And to make your life easier, we added the possibility to transfer money to different players and bank accounts just by clicking a button.
 
 
'''Registrars'''
 
Registrars enable you to create titles that you can grant to other players. Those titles can then be used in any authorization UIs and in the law system which allows you to easily group players or create titles for people that you want to work for the government.
 
 
'''New Animal AI'''
 
The AI of animals has been greatly improved and exposed for modding. Animals now eat, sleep, form packs and have species-specific behaviors. Beware though, as they became more intelligent and will now notice when your arrow hits just besides them. We have also implemented a headshot mechanic to make your life easier.
 
 
'''Sewage'''
 
In Update 8.0 several workbenches need to be supplied with water to function. In order to do so, you craft a pump and place it near a water source, connect it with pipes and deliver the water to the crafting table where it is converted into sewage. The sewage then needs to be taken care of – in the early game your only option is to release it into the environment, harming it. Later in the game you will get access to the water filter which allows you to clean the sewage and create compost blocks out of it which make a good ingredient for fertilizers.

*Performance Improvements:
 
**Our developers have been working hard on countless internal changes for this update in order to increase the performance of Eco on a wide range of different hardware configurations. We have noticeably reduced memory consumption on clients, optimized network code, reduced the frequency of FPS spikes (micro lags) during movement and you should now have a smoother experience playing Eco. Please note that there is still more to come in the 9.X updates, as we do have other optimisations prepared and in mind that require more work and / or breaking changes that are better to be introduced in a major update.
*Fixed transferring of multiple stacks into the inventory.
 
*Fixed strange behavior of the shelf cabinet.
* Relay Servers:
* Fixed multiple issues with nested contracts that have multiple sub-clauses.
**For this update we added relay server support for cases where connections between client and server cannot be established in a normal way. This should fix most of the connection issues some players have experienced.
*Fixed an exploit related to contracts.
**The Network.eco config file for servers has the new option “RelayAddress” where a custom relay server can be configured (available for download as docker image from strangeloopgames/relay-server:latest). If no "RelayAddress" and no "RemoteAddress" is specified for a server then it will auto-discovery the relay server with best ping from a list of official relay servers and use it as fallback for clients who fail to connect the regular way.
*Fixed a bug that allowed players to change store listings without proper access.
*Other Improvements:
*Fixed some issues with the housing bar.

*Added support for conditions on the "number of players" value.  For example: "when attempting to gain skill Cooking, if (number of players where (level of Cooking > 0) > 3) prevent".

The project will become blocked based on whether it is legally allowed to craft one more item. A "Craft" action is only recorded in stats once an item has finished crafting.

World generation has undergone a variety of changes and improvements. Many new parameters have been added to world generation, such as land/water balance, number of continents and islands, sizes of biomes, and number of water features such as rivers and lakes. All of these parameters may be tweaked within the world generator config file. As a result, worlds are much more varied with specific resources only being made available within specific biomes.
===v0.7.6.0===
 
'''Release Date:''' 7/13/2018
In addition, we have reworked the world geology, by adding an assortment of rock types like [[Sandstone]], [[Granite]], [[Shale]], and [[Limestone]]. Certain rock types appear only in specific biomes and at specific depths. These rocks all have different uses in recipes and can be made into unique looking mortared stones. Ores like Iron, Copper, and Gold are now located in specific host rocks which will encourage you to choose the place of your settlement wisely.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 
! colspan="1" |Changelog
Lakes have been added, and the river generator has been rewritten to have an improved look and feel to them.

{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
'''New Plants'''
! colspan="1" |New Content
* Trees: [[Palm]]s, [[Redwood]]s, [[Ceiba]]
|-
* Grasslands: [[Big Bluestem]], [[Switchgrass]], [[Sunflower]], [[Pumpkin]]
|
*Desert: [[Agave]], [[Creosote]] (Updated Art)
*[[Distribution Station]]
*Forest: [[Ocean Spray]], [[Trillium]]
**Added a new Distribution Station object. This is a stockpile where the owner can set a ration of items that every new player can take, which they will be notified of with a World Marker when they enter the game. With this object, citizens and governments can set up items to provide to new players to help them get started/catch up. You'll also be able to see the items provided from the Server Browser.
*Taiga and Tundra: [[Lupine]], [[Saxifrage]]. [[Peat Moss]], [[Deer Lichen]], [[Dwarf Willow]], [[Arctic Willow]]
**You can set the max 'age' of a player for them to be eligible for items.
*Rainforest: [[Papaya]], [[Taro]], [[Orchid]], [[Heliconia]], [[Pineapple]], [[Lattice Mushroom]], [[Bolete Mushroom]], [[Cookeina Mushroom]], [[Filmy Fern]], [[King Fern]]
*Added [[Chainsaw]]
 
*[[Starter Camp]]
 
**The camp comes with a small stockpile and contains starting supplies.
'''New Animals'''
**The camp also serves as a crafting table that can craft a limited selection of things.
*[[Mule Deer]]
*[[Real Estate Desk]]
*[[Mountain Goat]]
**At the desk, you can examine your deeds, edit their settings, move land and vehicles between deeds, create and delete deeds, and unclaim land and vehicles. You can also buy and sell deeds.
*[[Bighorn Sheep]]
** Deeds are no longer items that you can carry in your inventory.
 
**Replaced Property Claim Flags with a [[Land Claim Stake]] tool and [[Land Claim Papers]]. The Land Claim Stake works similarly to how claim flags used to work - hold it and right click to claim some land. It also has some new features. You can hold it and left click on claimed land to unclaim it. You can also target claimed land with it and press 'E' to open the deed window for that land. The Land Claim Stake uses Land Claim Papers. Each paper represents your right to claim 1 plot of land. Unlocking skills will grant you Land Claim Papers, in the same way it used to grant you Property Claim Flags previously.
 
**When you claim land with the Land Claim Stake, the deed that the land is attached to is no longer determined by the deed in your inventory (since you can't have deeds in your inventory). Rather, it is determined by the deeds of nearby plots belonging to you, and .  If there are none within range, a new deed is created.
'''New Skill system'''
**The treatment of vehicles versus stationary objects with regards to deeds and authorization has been unified, and the 'Auth' tab of the object window - which has been renamed to the 'Authorization' tab and given an overhaul to improve both clarity and appearance - will appear for both. No more 'Lock' toggle for vehicles - they now have full authorization settings support just like stationary objects (that is, the ability to set them to public, whitelist, or inherit from deed mode).
 
**Added an "Unclaim Property" action to stats, which can be referenced in laws.
The skill system has been simplified and reworked to encourage active engagement. While specializations will still be based on the same time-gated model as before, you no longer need to choose between improving your current specialties and gaining new ones. Instead of having multiple skills under specialties that all need skillpoints to advance, we've rolled all those benefits into an action-based leveling system. For example, players who choose to take the hewing specialty will be able to hew logs with increasing efficiency and speed as they complete orders rather than being forced to wait on skillpoints to achieve maximum efficiency.
*[[Robotic Assembly Line]]
 
**The Robotic Assembly Line is used to craft all internal combustion engine vehicles and other advanced machinery.
The second major change is that the vast majority of recipes are now available without taking the related specialization at a drastically increased cost. This should allow players to experience parts of the game they would have previously been locked out of while still giving players an immediate and powerful benefit for choosing specializations.
 
In addition to more generic benefits for a specialization, player will occasionally be able to choose specialization-specific talents upon leveling up. Talents for a given specialty are mutually exclusive: if you take one you lock yourself out of the other. Do you want to destroy the forest faster or do you want to be able to clean up the debris you leave behind easier? The goal is to encourage you to pick talents that benefit the way you want to play the game.
 
Even with the new changes, don't neglect your diet or house! What used to be skillpoints/day has been changed to an experience multiplier that is applied in two places: the rate at which you gain new specialties and the rate at which those individual specialties level up.
 
 
'''Banks'''
 
We have implemented banks to allow you to create additional bank accounts that you can share with other players. You can set who has access to the account and who is allowed to manage it, which will make playing together easier and also allows the world leader to grant other players access to the treasury. Everywhere where you need to pay with currency you can choose from which bank account you want to make the payment. Of course, you can also set into which bank account payments should go. And to make your life easier, we added the possibility to transfer money to different players and bank accounts just by clicking a button.
 
 
'''Registrars'''
 
Registrars enable you to create titles that you can grant to other players. Those titles can then be used in any authorization UIs and in the law system which allows you to easily group players or create titles for people that you want to work for the government.
 
 
'''New Animal AI'''
 
The AI of animals has been greatly improved and exposed for modding. Animals now eat, sleep, form packs and have species-specific behaviors. Beware though, as they became more intelligent and will now notice when your arrow hits just besides them. We have also implemented a headshot mechanic to make your life easier.
 
 
'''Sewage'''
 
In Update 8.0 several workbenches need to be supplied with water to function. In order to do so, you craft a pump and place it near a water source, connect it with pipes and deliver the water to the crafting table where it is converted into sewage. The sewage then needs to be taken care of – in the early game your only option is to release it into the environment, harming it. Later in the game you will get access to the water filter which allows you to clean the sewage and create compost blocks out of it which make a good ingredient for fertilizers.

*Added calculated exchange rates. Eco will now compare trades of the same item in different currencies to make a rough exchange rate, which can be used by citizens to help understand prices (how to shop and how to set prices).  The inner details of how they're calculated is displayed as well, so players can make informed decisions. You can view this in a currency’s ‘Currency Report’. Will be doing more with this exchange rate later.
**Added intro sequences for food and housing, explaining the concepts with icons and animations.
**Made it easier to exit water in a few situations like 1 block thick docks.
**Third person mode in vehicles now zooms out further and behaves more consistently.
**Vehicles with tools now attempt to dump into multiple inventories for objects that have multiple inventories.

*Minor improvements
*Improved the horizontal overflow behavior of the Contract window, preventing the text in the header column from being squished until it overflows vertically everywhere.
**It is now possible to connect to the server directly using server id instead of IP address
*Fixed an issue where some contract clauses had way too much vertical whitespace.
*Server Optimizations
* For LAN and local servers, connect directly by ip address, rather than connecting through the master server. This prevents connection issues when the master server is down.
**World Layer Tick optimization (~33% faster)
*When attempting to connect via the master server, timeout and return to the main menu if the master server does not respond.
**Reduced server lags during backups
*Fixed client-side lag due to unnecessary property texture updates
*Server Admin options
* Fixed Combustion Generators polluting forever when the power grid demand was 0, which was making some servers flood (flooding can produce a lot of client-side lag when your map is open on large servers)
**WebServerUrl and RemoteAddress on Network tab which allow to have a better control how your server will be available externally
* Combustion Generators now consume fuel at a constant rate.
**New option EnablePendingWritesOnBackup for StatDatabase which allows to make stat database backup without stat read/write locks
* Power grids only enable combustion generators one at a time as energy demand increases.
*Power grids with insufficient power now disable the most recently added objects instead of disabling everything.
*Reduced sea level rising performance impact
*Reduced client-side lag related to frequently changing pipe outputs
* Minimap icons load faster on big servers
*Player names are now always visible
*Improved map update performance
*Fixed a performance issue related to opening the chat log

*Fixed reconnection issue after disconnect timeout
*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

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.

'''Demographics'''
 
Added new "Demographics" feature. A Demographic represents a group of players. They're defined in laws, using law conditions. Once defined, you can reference Demographics in multiple laws, as well as authorize Demographics on deeds and objects. Demographics can be removed through laws also, but only if they are not being referenced by anything else.

*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.
* Fixed a crash caused by picking up a chest with stuff in it.
*Increased starting skill points from 9 to 12
*Increased the cost of the first two specializations from (0, 0) to (1, 2)

*Loans and Bonds!
*Small client-side tweak to the title screen to fix some black screen issues.
**Players can offer loans, or bonds (which are the reverse of bonds - people buy a bond from you and you pay them back with interest later).
*Updated Ramps
**Ramps are no longer objects but blocks, and can be built in 1-wide increments.
**They can be dug up with a shovel for their component material.
*Intro Story Sequence
**Added a new introduction story sequence! Appears when you first look at the meteor for the tutorial and both sets up the story and objective and emphasizes the cooperation needed to succeed.
*Recommended Servers
** Changed the flow of getting into a game so recommended servers are highlighted and players are matched to servers based on their playtime. This should make finding online games much easier.
*Discord Server Popup
**Servers can now set a Discord address in their settings, and new joining users will be prompted to join it through the tutorials.
*Tailings Efficiency
**Changed base production of tailing from 2 to 5 for Iron Ingot recipe and from 1 to 2.5 for Smelt Iron recipe.
**Now tailings affected by efficiency. On max efficiency 1 for Iron Ingot recipe and 0.5 for Smelt Iron recipe (you should smelt at least two ingots to get benefits).
*Updated Minimap
**Revamped the pullouts on the minimap. Everything is in one settings pull out now, which has been updated to the new visual style. World layers (now titled "Environment Data") have been changed from a drop down to a scroll box, with layers grouped into categories.

'''Economy'''
* Miscellaneous fixes working on addressing CPU spikes and lag
*Add contract tax to Payment Contract Clause.
* Blast furnace / Oil refinery should correctly no longer require a room
*Create new currency with "Coins per item" = 1.
*Charred Fish now has the correct efficiency and speed skills associated with it
*After Currency created (and first coins emitted) you're not able to change "Coins per item".
* Fixed washboard audio
*Now contract for harvest allows to select beans, rice, camas bulb and other crops without seeds.
* Contract Tax will be retained from payment on completion. Client will pay exactly specified amount, but contract have to pay tax from received payment. In case of failed contract it will be applied to Deposit as well, in this case Client have to paid tax from deposit.
'''Laws'''
*Currencies list will now have scroll when it can't be fully placed on display.
*Added actions "Plant", "Remove Stump", and "Harvest Leaves" to laws and stats.
*Actions "Pick Up" and "Place" now support world objects, in addition to blocks.
*The "Pick Up" action now supports mining and picking up rubble.
*The "Pick Up" action also supports picking up "Wood Pulp", which is what"tree debris" is now called.
*Laws can now reference total currency in circulation, as well as treasury balance, in addition to just the acting player's currency balance.
*You can now have as many proposed laws at one time as you want. This restriction was pretty meaningless, since you can already propose multiple clauses in a single law, and it's not as necessary anymore since the default ** Citizenship law already prevents the most egregious cases of trolling.
*Added support for conditions on the "number of players" value. For example: "when attempting to gain skill Cooking, if (number of players where (level of Cooking > 0) > 3) prevent".
*Indirect ways of killing plants are now counted as "Harvest" actions. This includes things like shoveling or plowing the dirt under a plant. This only applies to living plants. Removing a dead plant does not count as a "Harvest".
*Changed how stats and legality checks for "Craft" work. You can now always start a project, regardless of legality. The project will become blocked based on whether it is legally allowed to craft one more item. A "Craft" action is only recorded in stats once an item has finished crafting. Among other things, this significantly reduces inaccurate "Craft" stats due to cancelling a project. The issue can still arise if you cancel a project after some items are crafted and waiting to be collected at the crafting station.
*Added the ability to regulate minting coins in laws.
'''Graphics and UI'''
*Updated the Storage tab to the new visual style.
*World markers now clamp to the screen correctly, and display in minimap list properly if they have tags.
*Updated Global Illumination to reflect terrain / water colors.
*Make info panel resizable (Currencies Report etc).
*Updated the following object tabs to the new visual style: Credit, Exchange, Power, Mint, Modules, Network, Pipes.
*Made the meteor not zoom-in until after you have opened the meteor tutorial.
* Added a button to world marker UI to open/show markers on the map.
*Add filter by language and version for recommended servers.
*Rapidly clicking now performs the same as holding down click e.g. when chopping down trees and mining rocks.
*Opened server info for Recommended Tab will not persist after Escape.
*Adjusted headers width so they now works much better with non-English locales having longer words.
*Added an error message which explains why a skill scroll failed to work if the player has a full inventory.
*Added a notification message when buying a deed.
*Ensure that open/closed state on linked inventories gets saved between play sessions.
'''Other'''
* You can once more edit the names of unowned objects.
*You can now cancel loading a world with the escape button.
*Players authorized on a property now have full edit capabilities on any stores on the property, instead of having strange partial edit capabilities.
*Room tiers are now determined by the average tier of all blocks that make up the room, World objects have a had their material requirement changed to reflect this change.
*Created a testing framework for auto-testing UIs on the client.
*Editing world markers no longer auto-opens the map.
* Added /save command for admin which saves the world!
*Increased time you can pick up hunted animals to 3-5 minutes.
*Changed the cap on crafting order quantity from 999 to 9999, which is now enforced both when typing and when clicking the buttons.

*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.
*[[Distribution Station]]
*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).
**Added a new Distribution Station object. This is a stockpile where the owner can set a ration of items that every new player can take, which they will be notified of with a World Marker when they enter the game. With this object, citizens and governments can set up items to provide to new players to help them get started/catch up. You'll also be able to see the items provided from the Server Browser.
*Fixed currency exchanges working despite bad room requirements.
**You can set the max 'age' of a player for them to be eligible for items.
* Fixed currency exchanges failing if you try to use default currencies.
*Added [[Chainsaw]]
*Fixed currency exchanges letting non-authed users mess with the lists.
*[[Starter Camp]]
*Fixed issue where server search got out of sync with the displayed search string
**The camp comes with a small stockpile and contains starting supplies.
*Blast furnaces can now be placed outside
**The camp also serves as a crafting table that can craft a limited selection of things.
*Fixed a web API exploit, allowing anyone to set server config remotely.
*[[Real Estate Desk]]
*Sadly, "/unstuck" while driving will no longer do awesome things
**At the desk, you can examine your deeds, edit their settings, move land and vehicles between deeds, create and delete deeds, and unclaim land and vehicles. You can also buy and sell deeds.
*Fixed silly avatars when destroying a cart someone else is driving
** Deeds are no longer items that you can carry in your inventory.
*Replace stockpile exception with a warning if the world<->inventory sync fails, instead of crashing the server
**Replaced Property Claim Flags with a [[Land Claim Stake]] tool and [[Land Claim Papers]]. The Land Claim Stake works similarly to how claim flags used to work - hold it and right click to claim some land. It also has some new features. You can hold it and left click on claimed land to unclaim it. You can also target claimed land with it and press 'E' to open the deed window for that land. The Land Claim Stake uses Land Claim Papers. Each paper represents your right to claim 1 plot of land. Unlocking skills will grant you Land Claim Papers, in the same way it used to grant you Property Claim Flags previously.
*Fix float parsing which has issues in other cultures and caused misc weird issues, including some "connection failed"
**When you claim land with the Land Claim Stake, the deed that the land is attached to is no longer determined by the deed in your inventory (since you can't have deeds in your inventory). Rather, it is determined by the deeds of nearby plots belonging to you, and . If there are none within range, a new deed is created.
*Fixed occupancy for solar generator, stove, repair station, stove, washboard, couch, padded chair, and washing machine
**The treatment of vehicles versus stationary objects with regards to deeds and authorization has been unified, and the 'Auth' tab of the object window - which has been renamed to the 'Authorization' tab and given an overhaul to improve both clarity and appearance - will appear for both. No more 'Lock' toggle for vehicles - they now have full authorization settings support just like stationary objects (that is, the ability to set them to public, whitelist, or inherit from deed mode).
*Fixed missing art for washboard and washing machine objects
**Added an "Unclaim Property" action to stats, which can be referenced in laws.
*Blocks that don't stick to walls will now fall immediately (fixes phantom blocks when falling across chunk borders)
*[[Robotic Assembly Line]]
*Object spawning is now synchronized to prevent weird physics collisions that often sent objects flying
**The Robotic Assembly Line is used to craft all internal combustion engine vehicles and other advanced machinery.
*Fixed cut trees occasionally floating w/o gravity

*Players no longer get stuck when stockpiles change or blocks are placed where they are standing
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible"
*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.
*Added calculated exchange rates. Eco will now compare trades of the same item in different currencies to make a rough exchange rate, which can be used by citizens to help understand prices (how to shop and how to set prices). The inner details of how they're calculated is displayed as well, so players can make informed decisions. You can view this in a currency’s ‘Currency Report’. Will be doing more with this exchange rate later.
*Fixed a typo in a chat command name ('exeptional' -> 'exceptional')
**Added intro sequences for food and housing, explaining the concepts with icons and animations.
*Fixed some more moderately rare chunk build exceptions
**Made it easier to exit water in a few situations like 1 block thick docks.
*Fixed a bug where the fish caught would sometimes not seem to be added to your inventory
**Third person mode in vehicles now zooms out further and behaves more consistently.
* Fixed being unable to move after exiting a text box using 'Escape'
**Vehicles with tools now attempt to dump into multiple inventories for objects that have multiple inventories.
*Fixed a server crash related to leveling up skills (A concurrency problem)

*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.

*Fixed an issue where a vehicle with both a fuel supply and storage would behave inconsistently in the linked inventory UI. (The UI displayed the fuel supply and the storage as separate inventories with separate settings, but the server treated both inventories as sharing the same settings. Now the server also treats them as separate inventories).
*Temporarily disabled the tracking of actions in an effort to improve server performance.  Population stats, and laws that rely on checking action counts will temporarily not function (such as limiting tree chopping, or the species population stats on connect)

*Fixed an issue where deleting a duplicate character with property or contracts would crash the server.
*Fixed an issue where deleting a duplicate character did not actually delete the duplicate character permanently.

'''Workbench'''
*Removed the factory from the game, recipes have been offloaded to the assembly line/robotic assembly line. Some have been removed.
*Hewn Log cost reduced from 4 logs to 2 logs
*The tables tab now only shows tables that are marked ‘Public’.
*Hewn Log crafting time reduced from 0.3 to 0.2
* The currencies tab now only shows currencies that have circulation (more than one owner).
 
*Changed law actions 'Learn Skill' (which referenced skill levels) and 'Unlearn Skill' (which referenced specialties) to 'Learn Specialty' and 'Abandon Specialty', which can be meaningfully compared now, since they both reference specialties. (Existing laws using 'Learn Skill' will be changed to 'Learn Specialty', but existing stat history will still have the skill levels data)
'''Large Butchery'''
*Added a law clause option to perform an action every x days (for example, you could tax everyone 1 dollar per day, or tax everyone a percentage of their money once per day).
* Skill Requirements for all Large Butchery was reduced by 1
* Added a 'Login for the First Time' law action, which enables laws that give things to new players.
*Changed skill cost to T1 unlock costs (1/2/2/3) from (6/8/10/12)
* Added a 'channel' filter for the 'Message' law action, which enables creating restrictions on certain chat channels (for example, you could create an Announce channel that only admins can post in)
*Lowered maximum level from 4 to 3.
*Changed how 'performed by' action filters are displayed. Instead of 'Harvest actions where performed by you', laws will now say 'Your Harvest actions'. Before, this filter caused much confusion and many mistakes, since people assumed 'performed by you' was the default. Now it is the default. (Existing laws will have strange wording, but should function the same as they did before. New laws should be correct.)
 
*Cranes can deposit to trucks and other multi-inventory objects
'''Small Butchery'''
*Updates ecostrings.csv to most recent version
*Lowered maximum level from 4 to 3.

* Combustion Generators now consume fuel at a constant rate.
Using the laws system, you can now define districts for your world. Once one or more districts have been defined, you can pass laws that reference these districts, for example that only apply inside a certain district - or that only apply outside of it.
* Power grids only enable combustion generators one at a time as energy demand increases.
 
*Power grids with insufficient power now disable the most recently added objects instead of disabling everything.
 
*Reduced sea level rising performance impact
'''SIMULATION IMPROVEMENTS'''
*Reduced client-side lag related to frequently changing pipe outputs
 
* Minimap icons load faster on big servers
World generation has been tweaked and balanced, in order to generate a better balance of biomes.
*Player names are now always visible
 
*Improved map update performance
Optimized simulation code, in order to speed up world generation and simulation ticks.
*Fixed a performance issue related to opening the chat log
 
*Decreased lag due to opening the chat log by having it load 1 message per frame instead of all in 1 frame.

'''REDESIGNED PLANT SIMULATION'''
===v0.7.4.5===
 
'''Release Date:''' {{datetime|2018-05-17}}
The behavior and simulation of plants has been redone in order to be both more simple and more realistic. Plant populations are more dynamic, and can migrate and out-compete one another as the environment changes. Soil nutrients are easier to understand, and can be tuned with a variety of fertilizers.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
 
! colspan="1" |Changelog
Farmed plants are now treated no differently than wild plants; they will flourish in appropriate environments, wither and die in inappropriate ones, can spread to nearby areas and can be out-competed by other plants. You will need to pick a good spot to farm - or carefully manage soil moisture and soil nutrients - in order to succeed.
|-
 
|
Finally, with the new Cause and Effect page (accessible from the server website), interactions between plants and their environments can be explored and understood, in order to get better results with farming and controlling plant populations in the wild.
*Fixed a variety of problems that could occur if the master server is unreachable
 
*Fixed some chunk issues near world borders and wrapping issues with vehicles
 
*Fixed invisible vehicles when someone drives into your view range
'''NEW SPECIES'''
*Fixed stretched animals near world borders
 
*Fixed webserver link from using the wrong address
Several new species were added to the game (Note: requires generating a new world).
* Fixed some performance issues with stats and the web server
 
*Fixed an issue where server passwords were being double-encrypted on server startup. Server passwords will now show in plain text in the server window but are still encrypted when sent between client and server. Existing server passwords will need to be reset to the desired value.
*Fir and Oak trees
* Fixed a bug in client-side predictions that sometimes made blocks appear, disappear then reappear in your carried slot.
*Saguaro Cactus
*Added a warning when the server is unresponsive to user status
*Rice
* Desert Tortoise
 
 
'''ADDED SUPPORT FOR PASSWORD PROTECTED SERVERS'''
 
You can now specify a password required to connect to a server.
 
Whitelisted users are exempt from needing to enter a password.
 
This removes the prior "Private Server" setting
 
 
'''REWORKED AND IMPROVED TUTORIALS'''
 
Tutorials now give a base set of items, rather than specialties. (Skipping tutorials will give you all the starter items)
Some specialties will award an improved initial tool instead.
 
New tutorial content has been added, and existing content has been rearranged and improved.
 
 
'''HUD'''
 
Updated the HUD with new art, including the nutrition and housing displays, the toolbar, the action bar, and the time of day display.
 
 
'''MOD.IO'''
 
Initial support for downloading and installing mods via mod.io
 
More support to come here soon after beta release, stay tuned

*Added automatic windows firewall rule settings for the web server ports.
! colspan="1" |Networking Upgrade
*Added brightness option
|-
*World layers can be viewed in-world by selecting a layer in the minimap and checking the "Show In World" toggle
|
*World layers are now displayed with a colorblind friendly gradient
*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.
*Polished the world object UI panel graphics
* 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.
*Plant nutrients and fertilizer have been redesigned and simplified
*Moved the "MaxSlots" configuration value from the Users.eco config to the Network.eco config
*Nutrients are now consumed and produced by the ecosystem in a cycle, instead of being a static capacity-based constraint on the ecosystem
|}
** Plants consume nutrients as they mature, and return those nutrients to the soil when they die
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
**Only half of the nutrients are returned from plants killed or harvested by direct player action
! colspan="1" |Join Screen
**Fertilizer adds nutrients to the cycle, thus restoring the ecosystem
|-
**The nutrient cycle and plant maturity changes support the Cause & Effect UI
|
*Plant maturation mechanics are adjusted to be simpler and to work well with the new nutrient behaviour
* New layout and visual style. Among other things, the new layout allows many more servers to fit on screen.
**Plants age at a constant rate independently of the properties of the local environment
*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.
**Plants consume more nutrients, and produce proportionally more yield, if they are raised in a nutrient-rich environment
*Added many new searching, sorting, and filtering features
** Plants are less effective at taking up nutrients if they are in an inhospitable environment (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels) and therefore have lower yields
*Improved performance by limiting how many servers are displayed
**You can see the potential yield of each species in its corresponding PotentialYield layer
*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.
*Plant population growth mechanics are redesigned to be simpler, more directly related to the behaviour of real plants and to work with the new nutrient mechanics
|}
**Plant reproduction is constrained by nutrient availability
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
***The more nutrients are available, the more rapidly they will reproduce, up to a maximum intrinsic reproduction rate.
! colspan="1" | Garbage
***If there are very few nutrients available, plants will slowly start to die; the fewer nutrients, the faster they’ll die, up to a maximum intrinsic death rate.
|-
*** Plants require greater nutrient availability to survive and reproduce if they are raised in an inhospitable * environment (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels)
|
**Plant reproduction is constrained by available empty space
* You can now drop any non-carried items into garbage piles
***There are three kinds of empty space - canopy space, shrub space, and fertile ground. Trees consume canopy space and fertile ground, farmable plants the last two, and grasses only occupy fertile ground.
*If left alone, food items will decompose into nothing
***The more empty space there is, the more rapidly plants will reproduce, up to a maximum intrinsic growth rate if there is no competition for space
*If left alone, other items will become trash blocks which will cause minor pollution
***In inhospitable environments (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels), plants require extra empty space to survive and reproduce.
|}
***If more space is consumed than is available - for example, if a farm is planted too densely and the plants are crowding one another - the plants will slowly start to die. The more overcrowded they are, the faster they will die.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
**Only the tightest constraint limits plant reproduction - for example, if there is very little nitrogen available, plants will grow at the same slow rate no matter how much empty space there is.
! colspan="1" |Vehicles
**Different species have different requirements for empty space and nutrient availability, different intrinsic growth and death rates, and different temperature, moisture, and pollution tolerances.
|-
**As a rule of thumb, intrinsic growth and death rates are tuned so that in perfect conditions the plant population in an area will double in 24 hours, and in completely inhospitable conditions the plant population will halve in 24 hours.
|
** Plant reproduction supports the Cause & Effect UI
*Added a modern pickup Truck!
*Added the world layers: OccupiedFertileGround, OccupiedShrubSpace, and OccupiedCanopySpace, which record the amount of each kind of space that's currently occupied by plants in the area.
*Added the hand plough
*Fixed empty tooltips appearing over empty item slots
*Added a nimble Skid-Steer vehicle
*When you right click to add food to a crafting project, you will no longer also eat one

* Allowed reporting a bug from the title screen
*You can no longer consume food when full.
*Added a report a bug button to the title screen error popup
*Candle Stands no longer require solid ground.
* Avatar creation occurs in-world
*Zero and low population plants will now be force spawned into worlds without them.
*Improved network performance (faster chunk loading, more consistent physics / avatar syncing!)
*After activating the meteor destruct sequence, removing lasers or generators or otherwise breaking the laser setup will now cancel the destruct sequence.
*Redid Meteor impact sequence:
|}
**Meteor enters atmosphere, starts to burn
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
**When it contacts ground, triggers a huge explosion + 30 meter radius crater
! colspan="1" |MOD.IO
**Atmosphere begins to cloud with debris, becomes fully overcast in a few minutes
|-
** Meteor chunks ejected from the blast begin raining down, creating craters from 2-10m radius
|
**These meteor chunks number 1 per 250 square meters of world area (4000 on a 100x100) and rain down once every .2 seconds (13 minutes on a 100x100)
*Official integration with mod.io is now ready! https://eco.mod.io/
**High pollution emanates from the crater positions
*Server can subscribe to, download, and install mods from mod.io
**Temperature drops 20 degrees across the globe

*Optimized world layer tick time when checking for tailings in the world.
* Save all now also saves recent block changes
*DevTool now places forms like a Hammer
*Added proper detection and handling of save-game corruption.
*Can now select property for contracts.
* If a save is corrupt upon starting, it will restore the most recent backup.
*Can now split up property easily with buttons on the deed or the minimap panel which spawn new deeds.
* If a save is corrupt mid-game, it will delete it and resave everything.
*Fixed several contracts bugs
*Made the server start auto-backups by default.
*Fixed the red highlight on crafting ingredients that shows when you don't have enough
* 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.

*Plastic is no longer a block. If you have any plastic inside stockpiles, it will remain in them, but it should be removed and placed into chests as soon as possible.
'''Player Housing'''
*Objects that affect housing now display it in their tooltips.
 
*Exiting vehicles now uses the standard interact keybinding
New to 6.1 is Player Housing, which will be the second way (next to food) to earn skill points. The better furnished your house is with the more variety of rooms, the faster you’ll gain skill points.
*Currencies can now be backed with different items (not just gold)
 
*Fixed a bug where picking up mints would cause other mints to have the wrong associated currency
Adding furniture of matching categories to a room (ie bathroom, living room, bedroom) will provide a room bonus to the property owner, and having multiple rooms of various types will apply a ‘balanced house multiplier’.
*Changes the recipe cost of a couple late game research and recipes.
 
*Solar Generator cost changed from (1 steel) to (15 steel, 5 servos, 5 circuits)
The goal of this feature is to put more individual incentive into the game, increasing the quality and size of your house in order to increase your skills.  Important to the group, yes, but it can easily get out of hand, and finding a balance of resources put towards individual needs vs. the needs of the group will play a big role.
*Wind Turbine cost changed from (10 iron) to (20 steel, 10 gearboxes, 10 circuits)
 
* Moved the stove recipe from the Factory to the Machine Shop
With 6.1 we’ve added the basic system to try out, still in the works are a whole slew of housing objects to add, which will arrive in 6.2. Let us know your feedback.
* Dead plants now disappear after 24 hours.
 
*Plants that die young no longer continue aging to maturity.
 
*Player planted plants are now significantly more resistant to natural forces.
'''Improved Controls'''
*Tailings in carts will now pollute
 
*Fixed the stack sizes for Mortared Stone, Hewn Logs, Bricks, and other block materials
*Holding shift allows you to sprint, at the cost of additional calories. If you have zero calories, you can’t sprint.
*Added 8 slots of storage to the shelf, cabinets, icebox, and refrigerator
*Holding control allows you to move slowly. Doing so also prevents you from falling off of ledges.

*When mining stone and ore, the resource will break into smaller chunks, which can then be collected by hand.  Mining resources can be stacked in multiples of 4, both into stockpiles or on any flat terrain, before being processed into other materials.
*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"
'''Tools'''
*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
Durability:
*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
*Many items will degrade in effectiveness as they are used. Items that are more broken become more difficult to use, consuming your calories faster.
*Fixed cut trees occasionally floating w/o gravity
 
*Players no longer get stuck when stockpiles change or blocks are placed where they are standing
Added repair stations:
*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
*Players can use repair stations to improve item durability.  Resourceful players may specialize in tool repair and buy and sell items to repair.
*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.
More tools:
*Fixed a typo in a chat command name ('exeptional' -> 'exceptional')
 
*Fixed some more moderately rare chunk build exceptions
*Not all tools are created equal. Progressing through the game gives you access to better technology to craft superior tools. Better tools degrade slower and use less calories.
*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 a server crash related to leveling up skills (A concurrency problem)
'''Programmable Laws'''
*Show better error messages when there is a problem with our auth servers
 
*Fixes preventing the 'Play' action with a law - Instead of crashing the server, it will now kick the player with an explanatory message.
*The new law system introduces a new way to construct laws for your Eco worlds. Build laws composed of many different conditional statements and effects, with a simple drop-down based interface.
*Fixed issue that prevented Linux server from running as a background process
*Pass laws that restrict many player actions, such as voting, placing blocks, gaining skills, talking in certain chat channels, as well as the original harvesting plants and animals and crafting items.
*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.
*Compose complex conditions on when to restrict actions, using parameters such as what property the player is on, what their skill levels are, and how often they have performed a certain action.
*Fixed redefining districts being incorrectly prevented due to editing a district that is referenced by another law
*In addition to preventing actions completely, you can now tax certain actions, or even subsidize them by allocating money from the government treasury.
*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
'''Ecology'''
*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
*Animals move more intelligently, are more difficult to trap and can be found in more realistic locations.
*On object windows, the 'Storage' tab shows an 'empty' message if there is no linked storage on it, rather than just being empty
*New plant species: Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Pumpkins, Buttonbush, Salal, Waterweed, Kelp, Rice, Pitcher plants.
*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.
*New animal species: Trout, Salmon, Tuna, Clams, Urchins.
|}
*Added wetlands biome: Find mushrooms and other exotic plants within the wetlands biome.  (Requires newly generated world)
|}
*Added ocean biome: Waterweed, kelp, clams, urchins and fish are now spawned within the ocean biome.
===v0.7.1.2===
*Deforestation: Felling trees now produces tree debris. This material is a nuisance to remove and inhibits the growth of other species within the area.
'''Release Date:''' {{datetime|2018-02-14}}
*Fishing: Fish are now able to be caught and used as a resource, both with the fishing pole or fishing traps.

*Some improvements to how error messages from connection failures are displayed
**Contracts are created and posted at a Contract Board.
* Added some usability improvements to server browser
**You can set a variety of clauses on a contract, combining various ones to describe many kinds of jobs.
|}
**Players accepting a contract will be given specific auth to do the work (ie, the Clean Tree Debris job will only allow them to remove debris, nothing else, on a property).
===v0.7.1.1===
**Added a ‘Custom Clause’ that allows you to specify in words what you want done, which then will have to be reviewed by the client before accepting it.

The leader of the server can set the World Status, which will be displayed in the server browser.
*Player Credit
**Every player has an associated credit currency named after them. This allows players to begin participating in the economy immediately, doing things like charging a fee on their craft table which players acquire credit for by selling to their store, which uses the same credit.
**Players have infinite credit of their own type, and can give out freely with the /pay command.
**Mints create ‘backed’ currency, which no one has an infinite supply of, thus making is much more stable as it requires resources to create more.
**Added a Currency Exchange object, which allows players to passively sell/buy currency of any kind, transferring between currencies.

|-
|
'''DISTRICTS!'''
 
Using the laws system, you can now define districts for your world. Once one or more districts have been defined, you can pass laws that reference these districts, for example that only apply inside a certain district - or that only apply outside of it.
 
 
'''SIMULATION IMPROVEMENTS'''
 
World generation has been tweaked and balanced, in order to generate a better balance of biomes.
 
Optimized simulation code, in order to speed up world generation and simulation ticks.
 
 
'''REDESIGNED PLANT SIMULATION'''
 
The behavior and simulation of plants has been redone in order to be both more simple and more realistic. Plant populations are more dynamic, and can migrate and out-compete one another as the environment changes. Soil nutrients are easier to understand, and can be tuned with a variety of fertilizers.
 
Farmed plants are now treated no differently than wild plants; they will flourish in appropriate environments, wither and die in inappropriate ones, can spread to nearby areas and can be out-competed by other plants. You will need to pick a good spot to farm - or carefully manage soil moisture and soil nutrients - in order to succeed.
 
Finally, with the new Cause and Effect page (accessible from the server website), interactions between plants and their environments can be explored and understood, in order to get better results with farming and controlling plant populations in the wild.
 
 
'''NEW SPECIES'''
 
Several new species were added to the game (Note: requires generating a new world).
*Fir and Oak trees
*Saguaro Cactus
*Rice
* Desert Tortoise
 
 
'''ADDED SUPPORT FOR PASSWORD PROTECTED SERVERS'''
 
You can now specify a password required to connect to a server.
 
Whitelisted users are exempt from needing to enter a password.
 
This removes the prior "Private Server" setting
 
 
'''REWORKED AND IMPROVED TUTORIALS'''
 
Tutorials now give a base set of items, rather than specialties. (Skipping tutorials will give you all the starter items)
Some specialties will award an improved initial tool instead.
 
New tutorial content has been added, and existing content has been rearranged and improved.
 
 
'''HUD'''
 
Updated the HUD with new art, including the nutrition and housing displays, the toolbar, the action bar, and the time of day display.
 
 
'''MOD.IO'''
 
Initial support for downloading and installing mods via mod.io
 
More support to come here soon after beta release, stay tuned

! colspan="1" |Other Changes
|-
|
*Added automatic windows firewall rule settings for the web server ports.
*Added brightness option
*World layers can be viewed in-world by selecting a layer in the minimap and checking the "Show In World" toggle
*World layers are now displayed with a colorblind friendly gradient
*Polished the world object UI panel graphics
*Plant nutrients and fertilizer have been redesigned and simplified
*Nutrients are now consumed and produced by the ecosystem in a cycle, instead of being a static capacity-based constraint on the ecosystem
** Plants consume nutrients as they mature, and return those nutrients to the soil when they die
**Only half of the nutrients are returned from plants killed or harvested by direct player action
**Fertilizer adds nutrients to the cycle, thus restoring the ecosystem
**The nutrient cycle and plant maturity changes support the Cause & Effect UI
*Plant maturation mechanics are adjusted to be simpler and to work well with the new nutrient behaviour
**Plants age at a constant rate independently of the properties of the local environment
**Plants consume more nutrients, and produce proportionally more yield, if they are raised in a nutrient-rich environment
** Plants are less effective at taking up nutrients if they are in an inhospitable environment (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels) and therefore have lower yields
**You can see the potential yield of each species in its corresponding PotentialYield layer
*Plant population growth mechanics are redesigned to be simpler, more directly related to the behaviour of real plants and to work with the new nutrient mechanics
**Plant reproduction is constrained by nutrient availability
***The more nutrients are available, the more rapidly they will reproduce, up to a maximum intrinsic reproduction rate.
***If there are very few nutrients available, plants will slowly start to die; the fewer nutrients, the faster they’ll die, up to a maximum intrinsic death rate.
*** Plants require greater nutrient availability to survive and reproduce if they are raised in an inhospitable * environment (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels)
**Plant reproduction is constrained by available empty space
***There are three kinds of empty space - canopy space, shrub space, and fertile ground. Trees consume canopy space and fertile ground, farmable plants the last two, and grasses only occupy fertile ground.
***The more empty space there is, the more rapidly plants will reproduce, up to a maximum intrinsic growth rate if there is no competition for space
***In inhospitable environments (poor temperature or moisture match or high pollution levels), plants require extra empty space to survive and reproduce.
***If more space is consumed than is available - for example, if a farm is planted too densely and the plants are crowding one another - the plants will slowly start to die. The more overcrowded they are, the faster they will die.
**Only the tightest constraint limits plant reproduction - for example, if there is very little nitrogen available, plants will grow at the same slow rate no matter how much empty space there is.
**Different species have different requirements for empty space and nutrient availability, different intrinsic growth and death rates, and different temperature, moisture, and pollution tolerances.
**As a rule of thumb, intrinsic growth and death rates are tuned so that in perfect conditions the plant population in an area will double in 24 hours, and in completely inhospitable conditions the plant population will halve in 24 hours.
** Plant reproduction supports the Cause & Effect UI
*Added the world layers: OccupiedFertileGround, OccupiedShrubSpace, and OccupiedCanopySpace, which record the amount of each kind of space that's currently occupied by plants in the area.
*Fixed empty tooltips appearing over empty item slots
*When you right click to add food to a crafting project, you will no longer also eat one
*Fixed a null reference exception in the inventory system
*Added ability to change screen resolution at runtime
*Added ability to toggle fullscreen mode at runtime
*Allowed unlearning specialties that give you items. Only gives you items the first time.
*New art & design for the HUD
*Power type is now displayed on the Power tab for all objects that produce or consume power
* Fixed some things not being saved when the server's save menu option was clicked
* Allowed reporting a bug from the title screen
*Added a report a bug button to the title screen error popup
* Avatar creation occurs in-world
*Improved network performance (faster chunk loading, more consistent physics / avatar syncing!)
*Redid Meteor impact sequence:
**Meteor enters atmosphere, starts to burn
**When it contacts ground, triggers a huge explosion + 30 meter radius crater
**Atmosphere begins to cloud with debris, becomes fully overcast in a few minutes
** Meteor chunks ejected from the blast begin raining down, creating craters from 2-10m radius
**These meteor chunks number 1 per 250 square meters of world area (4000 on a 100x100) and rain down once every .2 seconds (13 minutes on a 100x100)
**High pollution emanates from the crater positions
**Temperature drops 20 degrees across the globe

*Changed error messages, if a disconnect message was expected, the "report a bug" and "copy to clipboard" * buttons are hidden.
* Contracts can now have repetitions set by the client.
*Fixed permissions not being granted on build room and road clauses.
* Capped players at 10 accepted contracts at once.
* Changed building materials allowed to no longer allow raw logs and stone.
*Made build road accept only materials marked for roads.

When enabled (enabled by default), it will search for a UPnP device and add proper port-forwarding for that device, to allow easier connecting by outside clients. This makes it easier to join friends servers without needing to forward or open ports in most instances.
*Avatars now sit in or pull vehicles more realistically
*Added support for the "Invite to Game" and "Join Game" features when running in Steam.
*Fixed bug when eating and placing carried items at the same time
*Fixed bow damage
* Fixes some annoying occupancy bugs

*Fixed occasional gaps in tree trunks
*Player icons tinted red on minimap to improve visibility
* Added the following useful admin commands
**/kick [user] [reason] - kicks user
**/ban [user] [reason] - kicks the user, and adds them to the blacklist
**/whitelist [user] - whitelists a user
**/admin [user] - grants admin to a user
** /removeadmin [user] - removes admin permissions from a user (if they have it)
*Starting a new world will automatically make you an admin.
*Added a 'showserver' launch option, starting the client with this will cause the server console window to be visible if you start a new world.

'''Player Housing'''
 
New to 6.1 is Player Housing, which will be the second way (next to food) to earn skill points. The better furnished your house is with the more variety of rooms, the faster you’ll gain skill points.
 
Adding furniture of matching categories to a room (ie bathroom, living room, bedroom) will provide a room bonus to the property owner, and having multiple rooms of various types will apply a ‘balanced house multiplier’.
 
The goal of this feature is to put more individual incentive into the game, increasing the quality and size of your house in order to increase your skills. Important to the group, yes, but it can easily get out of hand, and finding a balance of resources put towards individual needs vs. the needs of the group will play a big role.
 
With 6.1 we’ve added the basic system to try out, still in the works are a whole slew of housing objects to add, which will arrive in 6.2. Let us know your feedback.
 
 
'''Improved Controls'''
*Holding shift allows you to sprint, at the cost of additional calories. If you have zero calories, you can’t sprint.
*Holding control allows you to move slowly. Doing so also prevents you from falling off of ledges.
*Diving below the surface of water now requires calories. Swim underwater by holding control. If you have no calories, you can only swim on the surface.
*Fixes
Over 375 issues fixed since 6.0.3. (!)

|-
|
'''General'''
 
Updating from alpha 5.6.X:
*Migration is supported from the prior version, however there are some item changes that will result in deleted blocks or missing items. Some of the new biomes will also not exist in prior worlds, such as the wetlands biome. It is recommended to start a fresh world.
 
 
'''Mining'''
 
Mining mechanics have been revised:
*When mining stone and ore, the resource will break into smaller chunks, which can then be collected by hand. Mining resources can be stacked in multiples of 4, both into stockpiles or on any flat terrain, before being processed into other materials.
 
 
'''Tools'''
 
Durability:
*Many items will degrade in effectiveness as they are used. Items that are more broken become more difficult to use, consuming your calories faster.
Added repair stations:
*Players can use repair stations to improve item durability. Resourceful players may specialize in tool repair and buy and sell items to repair.
More tools:
*Not all tools are created equal. Progressing through the game gives you access to better technology to craft superior tools. Better tools degrade slower and use less calories.
 
 
'''Programmable Laws'''
*The new law system introduces a new way to construct laws for your Eco worlds. Build laws composed of many different conditional statements and effects, with a simple drop-down based interface.
*Pass laws that restrict many player actions, such as voting, placing blocks, gaining skills, talking in certain chat channels, as well as the original harvesting plants and animals and crafting items.
*Compose complex conditions on when to restrict actions, using parameters such as what property the player is on, what their skill levels are, and how often they have performed a certain action.
*In addition to preventing actions completely, you can now tax certain actions, or even subsidize them by allocating money from the government treasury.
 
 
'''Ecology'''
*Animals move more intelligently, are more difficult to trap and can be found in more realistic locations.
*New plant species: Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Pumpkins, Buttonbush, Salal, Waterweed, Kelp, Rice, Pitcher plants.
*New animal species: Trout, Salmon, Tuna, Clams, Urchins.
*Added wetlands biome: Find mushrooms and other exotic plants within the wetlands biome. (Requires newly generated world)
*Added ocean biome: Waterweed, kelp, clams, urchins and fish are now spawned within the ocean biome.
*Deforestation: Felling trees now produces tree debris. This material is a nuisance to remove and inhibits the growth of other species within the area.
*Fishing: Fish are now able to be caught and used as a resource, both with the fishing pole or fishing traps.
 


'''Economy'''
*Contracts
**Contracts are created and posted at a Contract Board.
**You can set a variety of clauses on a contract, combining various ones to describe many kinds of jobs.
**Players accepting a contract will be given specific auth to do the work (ie, the Clean Tree Debris job will only allow them to remove debris, nothing else, on a property).
**Added a ‘Custom Clause’ that allows you to specify in words what you want done, which then will have to be reviewed by the client before accepting it.
***''Clauses:''
***Remove Tree Stumps and Debris
***Transport
***Put Items In Container
***Build Room
***Build Road
***Add/Remove Blocks
***Payment
***Custom Clause
***Reputation Limiter
***Receive Permissions
***Nested Clause
*Reputation
**Players can give and receive reputation to one another, up to 10 points per day.
**Player names will highlight different colors based on whether their reputation is good or bad.
**Reputation from multiple people is weighted higher than reputation from fewer.
**Contracts can be blocked based on reputation
**Reputation is set by clicking the ‘reputation’ link in the player tooltip.
*Player Objectives
**A new dialog displaying the objective of each player is added. Use this to convey to others the projects you’re working on, and how they can help provide or sell you what you need.
The leader of the server can set the World Status, which will be displayed in the server browser.
*Player Credit
**Every player has an associated credit currency named after them. This allows players to begin participating in the economy immediately, doing things like charging a fee on their craft table which players acquire credit for by selling to their store, which uses the same credit.
**Players have infinite credit of their own type, and can give out freely with the /pay command.
**Mints create ‘backed’ currency, which no one has an infinite supply of, thus making is much more stable as it requires resources to create more.
**Added a Currency Exchange object, which allows players to passively sell/buy currency of any kind, transferring between currencies.
