There is an updated version of that image, which I have attached. Most things however didn't change.

Extinction achievements triggering despite species not being extinct is a known bug.

Originally posted by Ranix: that is not a good idea as it greatly harms discoverability of the feature for no benefit
We think it is, on multiplayer servers it has been common that people settle with a come-first mentality within the first view minutes on the best oil fields, despite oil drilling being far away and no realistic means to actually detect oil technically being present. This has caused a gameplay state that is not desirable and prefers people that had the time to join the server at the first second. It also removes any sort of incentive to interact with others and potentially buy their property. You will find similar functionality in other games, like Civilization as well, by the way.
If you are not happy with it, however, you can easily disable it in Balance.eco. :)
We however have purposefully decided on that after taking lots of feedback in regard to it into account and there is no reason to reconsider at this point.

That is incorrect, it is just hidden by default now as long as oil drilling has not been researched on the server. You can turn that off in Balance.eco.
Copy the file, name it StrangeWorlds.eco and change the settings. The settings I mentioned are contained therein.
Extinction achievements triggering despite species not being extinct is a known bug.
You can configure the relevant settings in StrangeWorlds.eco:
"AllowPaidItemsInPlayerStores": false, (Determines if marketplace items can be sold in stores)
"AllowUsingPaidItemsWithoutBlueprint": false, (Determines if marketplace items can be used without owning them, e.g. if you can place them if you don't own them)
"BlockUsingAnyPaidItem": false, (Determines if marketplace is enabled or disabled and hence the usage of any marketplace items)

Login to the SLG account on play.eco using the "Login with Steam" option, that should update your account status immediately.

Issue with the database, you can try to delete the .db file or restore it from a backup.
You can already hover the tier to check how it is calculated to find any blocks that would reduce the tier from the expected value. There is also the /rooms test command to check why something is not a room.
Yes, there is a playtime boost command. Check out the commands: https://wiki.play.eco/en/Chat_Commands
I'm locking this thread, as it is over 6 years old and the last response is not related to the original topic either. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected] with your issue.

That's a database corruption which cannot be fixed, you can either restore a backup or delete the .db file of your savegame (or keep it running corrupted), but in all cases without restoring backup your statistics (used for laws) will be broken.

It started off by telling him he cant visit me now because dad said so. Aka Trump banned travel from Germany to America for 30 days. He starts ranting how he's a horrible person. So I told him I'm a registered Democrat, but he's not half bad since he got us out of the wars. He didn't like my oppinon and wanted me to hate him with all my American might. Then the conversation went onto global warming. And I stated that the melting of the ice was releasing methane to a point we're screwed, he didn't like that and said he wrote papers stating it wasn't true. Then I told him that advances in technology will soon make oil obsolete, oh he definitely didn't like that either. Then guys getting off for the night, being 1030pm est, he wanted to blame on our conversation...

I feel ashamed for my fellow countryman, please take my apology for the whole of Germany.

(Though i may halfway agree about trump, i don't think he is a horrible person, just a clown that makes us laugh.)

Depends totally on if the server has any rules published. (Even if it's "you can't disagree with the admin" - then you know from the beginning, what you are into) I know the issue from the other side of the table, a lot of players insist on everything being admin abuse that they don't like. Hence i've years ago started writing my server rules in professional law manner, stating punishments for each violation and link people to there. I'll judge them like any judge in real life and remind them of if they would talk to a local court judge like that after he was convicted. They get the right to appeal as well, just as irl. But debating decisions in the game is a simple no-go, you wouldnt do that in the court room either if you are at least a somewhat sane person.

In general i strongly believe that the normal admin invests a hell lot of time and money into their servers and has the right to set the rules for the servers. (And we actually actively encourage that, because the best server o...

My answer was to his second question, posted as an answer. It's fully correct.
We use Claim Papers for backing and spawn in a basic bank in on day one that we replace with legit materials later on, the old cheated materials then get deleted.
We do not distribute any starter money, as everyone has claim papers and is able to give some of them for starter money, as the bank buys and sells them for a fixed value and they cant be sold at any other place then the bank. It works very good.
It's not any changes, but any changes that make the world bigger, as the singleplayer uses the 32-Bit server and any size bigger than default size will exceed the RAM limit for it and therefore crash. As we do not recommend and support changing config files that cannot be altered on world generation for singleplayer, i kept it short. If you want to change stuff manually, please start the server manually via EcoServer.exe (which is the 64-Bit one).
Yes.
No, the range cannot be extended without modding. It's intended to place them near the tables that want access to them.
