🆕 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

A Basic Engineering Skill Scroll teaches the Basic Engineering specialty, which is required to craft mechanical power components like axles, gearboxes, and windmill/waterwheel parts. This specialty is a practical early investment for any player who wants to build a mechanical power grid for their workshop or settlement. If your town lacks basic mechanical power, learning this skill and stocking the scrolls in a shop helps everyone transition from hand-cranking to automated industry.
