🆕 Updated for Eco 14 — “Garbage & Recycling” — this server and these numbers now reflect the new version. What changed →
  • Byproducts: nearly every recipe now leaves waste behind, so recipe pages list byproducts alongside ingredients.
  • Garbage & recycling: waste sorts from mixed garbage down to pure materials, and can be recycled back into stock.
  • Pollution has four kinds: acid rain, chemical, soil and heavy mineral, each settling into the ground differently. Pollution guide →
  • Modules reworked: upgrades are now Basic / Advanced / Modern / Specialty, one per slot, driving the same bonus system as talents. Module guide →
  • Fresh water: machines need it — water drawn from the ocean has to be desalinated first.

The character calculator has been updated for these changes. Read the garbage & recycling guide →

Notes

Agave Leaves are a raw food ingredient harvested from the Agave plant, providing 200 calories and a nutrient profile weighted toward vitamins (4) with smaller amounts of carbs, protein, and fat. As a raw food, its primary role is as a cooking ingredient in recipes like Baked Agave, Autumn Stew, and several campfire salads, which will offer better balance and higher tier bonuses for your XP multiplier. A practical tip: because its nutrient profile is heavily skewed toward vitamins, eating raw Agave Leaves alone will give a poor balance modifier (×0.5), so use them in cooked dishes or pair them with carb-, protein-, and fat-rich foods to improve your skill-point gain rate.
