Update 13 released! Logging Machines, Progression Rework, Store Tags and more!
Hey Citizens,
Update 13 is now live and introduces a revised progression system, new talents, two new logging machines, store tags and more!
Please find the full release announcement over on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/382310/view/542260850095818819
MIGRATION NOTICE: Migration between major versions is generally not supported.
The game will however load worlds from Update 12 fine and remove all chosen talents from players, granting them a star for each removed talent to be able to select a new one right away. Due to the changes to the progression system such worlds will however quickly see a large excess of stars being available. We hence recommend strongly to start a new world if any possible.
MOD COMPATIBILITY NOTICE: Modifications and Overrides need to be adjusted or removed.
The new progression system comes with changes to most game files, hence most if not at all overrides will need small adjustments to account for these changes. Servers will fail to boot until these adjustments have been made, unless respective overrides are removed. Compiled mods that do not add recipes or have features related to the skill or talent system will likely allow the server to boot, but may cause failures in usage when not having been recompiled against the new Update.
Note that community servers will need time to update, in the meanwhile you can at any time switch back to an older version of Eco by right clicking Eco -> Properties -> Betas -> Selecting "12.0.7".
