🆕 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 Sprouts are a raw food ingredient harvested from grown bean plants, providing 100 calories and a modest total of 8 nutrient points with a vitamin profile (5 vitamins) but no fat and low protein. Though their low individual nutrients make them unbalanced for direct XP gains, they serve as a key component in crafting several research papers (Gathering Basic, Agriculture Advanced and Modern) and dishes like Banh Xeo or Phad Thai. For best skill-point progress, combine Bean Sprouts with higher-fat and higher-protein foods to improve your diet’s balance multiplier.
