looking for help with what files I need to change

[Kryzzk]

I am trying to figure out what files I need to edit to make a few changes to my server, but the systems have changed a lot while I have been away and I no longer know what to change. The changes I want to make are

For the government :

1.> Place a Federation Claim (or what ever the top government level is) without any other claims before it.

2.> Make the Federation claim (didn't exist when I stopped playing) cover the whole world so that no other top level government can be created.

3.> make it so the government only NEEDS 1 person.

Basically trying to make the current system more like the original system.

QoL changes:

1.> make it so that mining automatically picks up the mined item.

thanks.

In Civics.eco set EnableAdminUI = True. In Settlements.eco set the last value of SettlementFoundationBaseInfluence high enough to fill the whole planet. (Depends on world size, 1200 is enough for the maximum supported size of 2.56 km²)

Then, place a federation foundation in the world. Target it and execute /fe to force enable it. Open it, remove the check at "Needs Child Settlements". Then you're good to go to just set it up as any other settlement and have a global federation.

Moved to general forums, as this doesn't require modding.

Guess that developers don't see it this way anymore, but in the 90's I was taught that anytime in-game settings don't exist and you modify settings in the game files you are well, "modding" the game in the most basic way.

Changed those settings, but It still says that the federation foundation "needs to be in the influence" (or something like that) and won't let me place it. Do I need to reset the server for that to work?

What about the automatic pick of mined ore? I had modded my game before I stopped playing so that it would pickup anything I mined.

in pickaxeitem.cs I added

bool AutoCollect = true;
int AutoCollectLevel = 0;

I pulled this from a backup of modded Eco files from when I used to play, it doesn't seem to work that way anymore.

The configuration files you are changing are Eco's settings as it is a game based on dedicated servers. Modding would be if you actually modified any of the code files, like the change you noted at the end of the post.

That isn't really relevant to answer your question though, it was just why I moved it so that other people could more easily see it.

I unfortunately would need to see the exact error message you are getting and what steps you took exactly. The error you noted makes no sense, the Federation provides an influence, it doesn't require one.

Ok, Maybe I messed something up when I was playing around with modding files. Let me fire up another server and change only that and see what happens.

Any Idea what I need to change to make any mines Item automatically picked up as the way I have doesn't seem to work anymore?

Sorry, I can't help with actual modding, for that the modding forums or even better our discord modding channel would be the better place.

Let me know about the exact error and steps you did if you can't get it to work for the Federation.
