>What is this shit?
Eco is a game about bringing civilization to a shithole of a planet which is set to be destroyed by an asteroid in 30 real-time days. You need to conduct research, produce various resources and food, and work together with everyone to create a functioning economy, pass laws, build a road network, and finally to shoot down the meteor.

First off, I'd like to hear opinions about mods. In particular, I've been looking at these:
>transport tubes
Endgame method for moving materials. Not cheap to make and needs skills, so I don't see balance issues. No idea about performance.
https://eco-mods.com/resources/transport-pipes-asphalt-mdk-only-work-on-7-5-1.88/
>shipping container
Essential /diy/core
https://eco-mods.com/resources/jd-shipping-container.78/
>mining dynamite
I don't know if this is useful, but it's a planned feature for the game anyway
https://eco-mods.com/resources/mining-dynamite.76/
>self improvement
This is potentially cheaty, it makes you able to get woodcutting/mining/farming skills without spending all the SP on unlocking the specific tree. These are mostly for the reduced use of calories and gather rate. I'm sure it could be edited to remove the more cheaty ones (gathering skills), but I think giving people access to stone/wood construction would result in a lot nicer buildings.
https://eco-mods.com/resources/grumblestoolmod.91/
Also would like to add some kind of an advanced chests mod, but I haven't seen one so far. Basically more expensive chests with more space.

Some people didn't like that it'd be almost the same experience as last time, and the game really does have some holes that should be filled, ie. the chests, maybe electric versions of the furnaces and such. I'm not completely against avoiding mods altogether if that's what people want.

Is there a mod that makes it easier for players to join late? It sucks to join the server late because everyone has million skillpoints and you'll never be even close to their level. Something like increased skillpoints upon joining, the admin could adjust that number as the server grows.

Definitely do this. Trying to get the one guy who specced into construction to build something for you is such a hassle, especially when they live on the other side of the planet (irl and in game).
Is there anything new in the current version of the game?

>What do those entail and why would they be inaccessible here?
Politics includes proposing laws, which can block players from doing certain things or tax them, ie. if you cut down more than 10 trees in a day you start having to pay for it. And the function of the mayor, who gets some special abilities regarding economy and management of land. The reason it does not work is technical, these functions are managed through the game's web interface, and the web interface requires central server login for IDing players, which you can't get without owning the game. It'd be possible to spoof it if you made your own login server and redirected traffic there, but there's a limit to how much I'm willing to fuck around with the game. We will be able to use them through me, since I own the game I can just propose any suggested laws, and I think votes will work ingame, if not, we'll just use strawpoll or something.
