Hey Eco Citizens, today we're releasing Update 9.5.1, adding some polish for and fixing some of the notable bugs with some of the new additions in Update 9.5. This update should bring improved stability and includes several fixes for crashes and failed migrations. We also have included some changes to the chat channel system and animal hit notifications based on your feedback. Thanks so much for that, we really appreciate it.
Audio
- Fixed: Ambient sounds during initial game launch were not respecting in-game volume settings
- Fixed: Alt-tabbing while running underwater caused a large sound when returning to Eco
- Fixed: The audio for chopping trees would sometimes stop playing
Chat:
- Changed: Moved civic notifications to chat
- Changed: Added Government notification category in the chat
- Fixed: When responding to a DM from someone with spaces in their name, it could send the message to someone who had the first word of the name as their own name
- Fixed: Chat was not hiding correctly when the Eco Log tab was open
- Fixed: When relogging, unread messages in hidden tabs didn't show their notification badges correctly
- Fixed: In some cases, hidden tabs didn't show their unread message badges even after receiving new messages
- Fixed: Hidden tabs sometimes still showed their notification badges despite all message being read

Civics:

- Fixed: Consolidating inventories on migrated worlds where items were stored in objects with new restrictions that would otherwise prevent the item from being stored here would cause a crash. Such items on consolidating will now be moved to Void Storage.
Stores:
- Fixed: Authorized users of a store were unable to rename categories or delete items from sale
- Fixed: When a modded item was added for sale in a store and later removed from the server, it would cause the save to be unloadable. Removed items will now be removed from stores

Tooltips:
- Added: New hint tooltips for various buttons in the HUD UI
- Fixed: Tooltips were missing from items in the Item Selector

- Fixed: Currency text was missing from the Transactions UI when checking the tooltip for truncated text
- Fixed: Nylon Carpet was showing the tooltip for Wool Curtains

The Game includes VR Support
Enter the world of Eco, where you must team-up to build civilization and prevent a disaster, using resources from a fully simulated ecosystem, where your every action affects the lives of countless species.
Will you and your fellow builders collaborate successfully, creating laws to guide player actions, finding a balance that takes from the ecosystem without damaging it? Or will the world be destroyed by short-sighted choices that pollute the environment in exchange for immediate resource gains? Or, do players act too slowly, and the world is consumed by a disaster that could have been avoided if you developed the right technology? In Eco, you must find a balance as a group if the world is to survive.
Enter humans into this equation, and things get complicated. It is the role of players to thrive in this environment by using resources from the world to eat, build, discover, learn and invent. However, every resource they take affects the environment it is taken from, and without careful planning and understanding of the ecosystem, lands can become deforested and polluted, habitats destroyed, and species left extinct.
In the extreme, the food supply of the ecosystem can be destroyed, along with all human life on it, resulting in server-wide perma-death. Eco is a game where the player’s actions have meaningful consequences.

A world-survival game
Eco is a survival game in a global sense, where it is not just the individual or group who is threatened, but the world itself. The world of Eco will be home to a population of thousands of simulated plants and animals of dozens of species, each living out their lives on a server running 24 hours a day, growing, feeding and reproducing, with their existence highly dependent on other species.Enter humans into this equation, and things get complicated.

- Everything you do affects the ecosystem, and players can destroy their food supply and world (server-wide permadeath)
- Create a player-run government to make decisions as a group, proposing and voting on laws
- Use data gathered from the world to propose and vote on laws as a group. Debate with scientific argumentation.
- Create a player-run economy that allows you to sell not only good but services in the form of server-enforced contracts (simulating a player driven quest system).
- Your food level determines your skill-increase rate, making food very important and tying players directly to the ecosystem from which it comes.
- A game with goals higher than entertainment. We plan to build it for schools as an augmented classroom world students share.
