🆕 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

Bean Paste is a processed food product made from beans, offering a moderate calorie density with a high fat and protein content but no vitamins. It is produced through the Bean Paste or Processed Bean Paste recipes and is compostable. To maximize its nutritional benefit for skill gain, pair it with vitamin-rich foods to balance your diet, as its lack of vitamins will otherwise reduce your XP multiplier.
