🆕 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.

Notes

The Beet Campfire Salad is an early-game blended food item that provides 900 calories with a notable 13 vitamins and 8 carbs, making it a strong option for boosting the vitamin side of a balanced diet, though its fat and protein are low. Eaten at a campfire or on a surface, it decays in 72 hours and is compostable. A practical tip is to pair this salad with a protein- and fat-rich food to keep the four nutrients roughly even, maximizing the balance modifier that doubles the XP rate from your diet.
