🆕 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

Beet Seed is a crop seed planted on the surface to grow beets, which can then be harvested for more seeds or used in cooking. Beyond farming, Beet Seed is an ingredient in crafting Agriculture Research Paper Advanced, making it a key resource for unlocking higher-tier agricultural research. Any excess seeds can be composted, but prioritizing their use for research paper production is a practical way to accelerate tech progression.
