Eco is a global survival game by Strange Loop Games where players share a single ecosystem threatened by an incoming meteor on a 30-day countdown. Every action — logging, mining, farming, hunting — directly affects the simulated environment through pollution, deforestation, and species extinction. A dedicated server keeps this persistent world running 24/7 so players across time zones can contribute to building technology, passing laws, and saving the planet before impact. ### How does the government and law system work in Eco? Eco features a fully player-run government where citizens vote on laws, elect leaders, set tax rates, and create enforceable regulations. Players can propose legislation to restrict pollution, ban overhunting, zone land for specific uses, or set import tariffs. The game automatically enforces passed laws, making it one of the most advanced social simulation systems in any multiplayer game. This system is why Eco is also used as an educational tool in schools for teaching ecology and economics. ### How many players can join an Eco server? Eco servers support 50+ players. Most communities run 10-30 players for a balanced governance and economic experience where each player's specialization matters. The skill system prevents any single player from learning everything, so cooperation is essential — a server with 20 specialized players (farmers, smiths, engineers, cooks) creates a more dynamic economy than one with 50 generalists. ### What are the server requirements for hosting Eco? Eco dedicated servers recommend 4-8GB RAM depending on world size and player count. The default game port is 3000 (TCP/UDP) with the web interface on port 3001. Server configuration is done through the Eco server GUI or directly via config files. Because Eco simulates world layers including pollution spread, groundwater flow, temperature, and wildlife populations, it benefits from fast single-thread CPU performance — which is why our AMD Ryzen 9 hardware is ideal. ### How does the Eco economy and skill specialization work? Eco features a player-driven economy with player-owned stores, custom currency creation, and real supply-and-demand pricing. Players choose skill specializations like farming, mining, logging, hunting, smelting, or engineering — but cannot master everything, forcing trade and cooperation. Crafting follows realistic production chains: raw materials become processed goods which become advanced technology. Housing quality affects skill gain rates, adding another economic dimension. This creates genuinely emergent economies unique to each server. ### What happens to the environment when players harvest resources? Every resource action in Eco has real ecological consequences tracked across multiple world layers. Clear-cutting forests causes soil erosion and habitat loss. Mining and smelting generate pollution that spreads through groundwater and air. Overhunting can drive species to extinction, collapsing food chains. Industrial tailings contaminate farmland downstream. The game provides detailed graphs and data visualizations showing these environmental impacts, which players reference when proposing and debating environmental legislation. ### Can I configure the meteor timer and day length on my Eco server? Yes, server administrators have full control over gameplay pacing. The meteor countdown defaults to 30 real-time days, but can be adjusted shorter for intense sessions or longer for relaxed play. Day length is configurable — by default each in-game day equals one real day, but this can be shortened. You can also adjust skill gain rates, crafting speeds, world size, and dozens of other parameters through the server config files or the Eco server GUI accessible via port 3001. ### What vehicles and transportation options exist in Eco? Eco features a progression of vehicles that players must research and build through the technology tree. Starting with simple wooden carts, players advance to powered vehicles including trucks, boats, cranes, and excavators. Each vehicle type requires specific crafting specializations and materials to construct, reinforcing the cooperative economy. Vehicles are essential for large-scale resource transport and construction projects needed to build the technology required to destroy the approaching meteor. ## Related - [All game servers](https://xgamingserver.com/game-servers.html) - [Documentation index](https://xgamingserver.com/llms.txt) - [Full docs](https://xgamingserver.com/llms-full.txt)
