The “eco” etype

The “eco” etype allows you to put eco blobs on the ground without having to break a crate to access them.
You can technically use anything that you can put “eco-info”. But using things that aren’t eco in these can become very confusing so I’d advise against doing so.

Here some example of eco types:

1 Yellow eco blob
1 Red eco blob
1 Blue eco blob
1 Green eco blob
1 Green eco pill

You can also set the quantity value for green eco pills to a higher number than one. This won’t spawn multiple ones but will make the one that does count for more. This only works with eco pills and not the other eco types.

1 Green eco pill that counts for 10

Note that using “9” in the eco-info for the collectible's type will crash the game. This is only usable with crates. If you want several green eco pills on the ground, you’ll need to add them individually as different actors.
