🆕 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

The Basic Upgrade 3 is a tier of crafting upgrade module that reduces both the resource cost and craft time of work orders at the station it is installed in. It belongs to the Efficiency Modules category and is produced from lower-tier upgrades before being used as an ingredient to craft the next tier, Basic Upgrade 4. Because higher-quality upgrades require a room of a sufficient tier to install, building and furnishing a proper workshop is a prerequisite for using this upgrade to its full effect.
