Eco server hosting

An Eco server is for groups who want to plan, trade and build together. It works best with a regular group that plays together for a few weeks, because by default the meteor strikes after thirty days.

Eco is the collaborative game by Strange Loop Games. Players build an economy, a government and a society together on a planet with its own ecosystem. By default a meteor strikes after thirty days, unless you develop the technology to stop it together. Every tree you cut and every fish you catch counts.

How much RAM does an Eco server need?

Eco simulates the whole ecosystem: plants, animals, pollution and everything players build. That is why usage grows with the size of the world and the number of players. Our advice: CupCake 4 GB for a group of friends on a standard world, Cake 6 GB or BIGCake 8 GB for a bigger group, and SuperCake 12 GB for a big world with lots of players.

How does the meteor work?

The meteor counts real days from the first start of your server, not playing time. By default you get thirty days. In your server settings you pick a different number of days or switch the meteor off completely. Handy if you only play a few evenings a week.

What can you change in the panel?

In the Startup tab you choose the name and description for the server list, a password, whether your server is public, the maximum number of connections, your playing times, a link to your Discord, a category, for example for beginners, and the language. Eco also has its own web page with, among other things, a map of your world; it runs on its own port. Everything else, such as the size of the world and the meteor, lives in the server’s configuration files. New here? Start with First steps after your order.
