Map size

[Catastrophology]

Hello

I love the game.

I played a few rounds.

I prefer bigger maps, when 10 came out, I was able to increase the size of my map to about 9km2.

I'm trying to make a bigger map on a new game, but it seems this time the size are locked to about 2km2 for the biggest map.

Is there a way with patch 11 to increase the map size? Or is that a feature that is locked?

I tried to search for an answer, but I get answers from 2018.

thanks

World sizes above 2.56 km² aren't supported by us, such over 4km² have never been. You can still try to change the WorldGenerator.eco respectively, but the outcome depends heavily on your and users hardware resoruces. The setting in the client to change world size is purposefully limited to the maximum supported size.

Thank you for the answer.

I tried to modify WorldGenerator.eco, but when I want to start a world, I have to go through the "host" option. And the world size is limite to 500m2, 1km2 and 2.56km2.

Yes, you would need to start the server manually by starting EcoServer.exe if you want to use your own configuration.

I tried, it asks me for an authentication email and password, I went offline. Next it took a while, but I'm not sure if it ever started.

At one point I was wondering if I was opening a dedicated server from my pc?

I'm not really sure, and my knowledge of programs is a bit beyond me.

Yes, the single player simply starts a local server through the client.

To start it in a dedicated way, via the EcoServer.exe, you'd need an SLG account that owns eco. You can create one for free and link your Steam account to it, granting the SLG account the game for free.
