🆕 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.

Notes

Asphalt Concrete is a high-tier road block that provides a durable, efficient surface for wheeled vehicles, significantly improving travel speed compared to dirt or stone roads. It is crafted from a recipe and placed as a solid block, forming part of the road infrastructure that supports logistics across a settlement. Since better roads reduce travel time and fuel consumption, investing in asphalt roads early in the mid-game can accelerate material transport and vehicle efficiency.
