I've never played Eco before. In fact, I wasn't particularly interested in it. But then one day I got interested in creating my own civilisation in a simulated world. But I don't have many friends and hardly anyone to play with. How can I join my friends' eco-server?

Joining your friends' Eco server is fairly straightforward, even if you don't have many friends to play with. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to join an Eco server:

1. Coordinate with your friends: First, make sure your friends are already running an Eco server that you can join. If they haven't set up a server yet, encourage them to do so. You'll need their server information (IP address and port number) to connect.

2. Launch Eco: Start by launching the Eco game on your computer. You can find it on your computer's desktop or in the game library if you downloaded it.

3. Click "Join a Server": Once the game is up and running, you'll typically see a main menu. Look for an option that says "Join a Server" or something similar. Click on it to proceed.

4. Enter server details: In the server join screen, you'll need to enter the server details provided by your friends. This includes the IP address and port number. Make sure to type them accurately to ensure a successful connection.

5. Connect to the server: After entering the server details, click on the "Connect" or "Join" button to initiate the connection to your friends' Eco server. The game will attempt to connect to the server using the provided information.

6. Enjoy the game: Once connected, you'll be transported into your friends' server. You can now collaborate with them and start creating your own civilization within the simulated world of Eco.

If you don't have many friends to play with, you can seek out public Eco servers or consider joining Eco communities or forums where you can find like-minded players. These communities often have dedicated servers or private servers where you can join and interact with other players.
