🆕 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 Upgrade 2 is a mid-level Efficiency Module placed in a crafting station’s Module Component slot to reduce both resource consumption and craft time for work orders on that station. As the second of five quality tiers, it fits between the Basic Upgrade 1 and the Basic Upgrade 3, with each higher tier providing a greater efficiency benefit (up to roughly 25% total in Update 13). For a practical tip, note that upgrading to Basic Upgrade 2 requires the station to be inside a valid room—so before producing it, ensure your workshop is properly enclosed with walls, a roof, doors, and windows.
