Individuals are physically bound by the decisions that the group makes, essentially simulating a perfect criminal justice system (more on that later and how we plan to evolve it). That means if the government decides that each player may chop down only 10 trees per day, attempts to chop down an 11th will be rejected by the server. The player-run government will be incredibly powerful, because laws will be binding. The profit I make goes into buying food for myself as well as to improving my workshop/house In the city.The solution to this is the player-run government, and running it is a huge part of gameplay that all players must participate in. I buy wood logs from other players, then craft them into items to sell back. So far I have established myself in a local town as a carpenter. This game satisfies every capitalists dream! There’s mechanics in place to allow for a working economy, trading and even governments! You can tax rent, buy and sell hunting rights. So in a nutshell, Eco is a very drawn out survival game relying on committed players to achieve the goal of preventing the impending asteroid disaster.ĭue to the fact that every task is time consuming (resource gathering, building etc) you need to build a functioning society with the other players to get things done. I must say, I’m quite impressed but I can appreciate that others might not share my opinion.

So I ended up buying a copy of Eco and gave it a run last night. Nothing was scratching the itch I had (not even Ylands! ). As I was at there flicking through my Steam Library I felt nothing but a giant ‘Meh’. So, my impatience got the better of me last night.
