🆕 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

The Assembly Line is a high-tier crafting station for mass-producing mechanical and industrial goods, including the Blast Furnace, Combustion Engine, Oil Refinery, and Rolling Mill. It requires placement in a Tier 3 enclosed room with at least 168 m³ of free volume, and accepts Advanced or Mechanics Advanced upgrade modules to reduce resource and craft time costs. Because it unlocks many of the heavy machines needed for late-stage industrialization and meteor defense, building one is a major milestone for any settlement's production capacity.
