Are there AI npcs?

Somebody told me that this game made it essential to play with others, but thats not my jam lol.... is this game something that you coud solo? I know there are jobs and wages and government systems, which as a solo player, im curious if you receive NPCs to carry out various tasks and can give them roles, responsibilities and wages?

No NPC's

No, the game is inherently made for a multiplayer experience, NPC's would be totally opposite to it's design. With adjustment of configuration settings to your personal likings on difficulty and grind you can still play it singleplayer, just without the meta features for communities.

Ok, thank you for the response. Its disheartening to hear it though, as Ive recently discovered a liking to NPC management via a game called "Necesse". Ive played games such as Banished, but games like that are too disconnected from the NPCs, and nothing seems to scratch the same itch as necesse currently. I thought perhaps this game could do that.

As someone who has also played Necesse i agree that npc's would be awesome to have and i did get the game thinking there were some already. However i understand why they would not be added to Eco. However i must admit even tho i am playing alone i am still finding lots of enjoyment in Eco. Big multiplayer servers arnt my thing but Eco is still enjoyable alone if you like building and doing everything yourself. Hoping to get some friends of mine to look into getting eco as i do think it would make it more enjoyable.
