🆕 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.
  • Update 14.2 — stores: bulk discounts on sell offers, one-time buy quotas, and a full trade history in the Economy Viewer. Stores guide →

The character calculator has been updated for these changes. Read the garbage & recycling guide →

Notes

The Blacksmith Skill Book is a crafted item produced at a Research Table, requiring research papers and other materials. When right-clicked, it spawns unlimited skill scrolls that teach the Blacksmith specialty, allowing any player to learn it after investing skill points. A practical tip: one book can supply an entire server with scrolls, so publishing the book and distributing scrolls through a store or contracts saves others from crafting their own.
