What is Eco best used for, small group or big community?

Eco works great for both. Small groups tend to focus on progression and co-op building, while bigger servers lean into player economy, laws and specialisation. Start small and scale slots up when the town grows.

Do Eco servers need to stay online 24/7?

Eco is built around a persistent world and long-running progression, so most communities keep it online. If you only play occasionally you can still stop and start, but day length and progression feel better when it is always running.

How do I access files for configs and plugins?

Use File Manager or FTP to manage your Eco files, configs and any server-side additions. For more information check our Knowledgebase article: How to connect to FTP.

Can I upload an existing Eco world?

Usually yes, as long as you have the full world save folder and the server is set to load it. Upload via FTP or File Manager, then restart the service.

What causes Eco lag on servers?

Big cities, lots of machines, heavy vehicle use, and huge stockpiles of items can all add load. If performance dips, restart occasionally and keep an eye on anything that is constantly running or spamming storage.

Can I run mods or plugins on Eco?

Eco commonly uses server-side plugins depending on what your community wants. Upload and manage them via FTP/File Manager and keep backups before changes. For more information check our Knowledgebase article: How to connect to FTP.

How do I protect my Eco world?

Take regular backups before updates and major rule changes, and keep a couple of older snapshots so you can roll back if something breaks. You can also download saves locally for extra safety.

Where do I go if I get stuck?

Open a ticket and we will help you locate the right config files, confirm your save paths, and get the server booting cleanly. For panel basics, see: Accessing Control Panel.

What is Eco Global Survival?

Enter the world of Eco, a fully simulated ecosystem bursting with thousands of growing plants and animals just living their lives. You can build, harvest and take resources from an environment where every single action you take affects the world around you. An imminent meteor strike threatens global destruction, can you save the world while not destroying it in the process?

You can construct buildings, create towns, tend to a farm, hunt the wildlife, build infrastructure/transportation, craft clothing, build power plants and even research new technologies to gain new advancements.

You'll need to analysis data from the simulation, and evaluate the impact you have on the world.
