🆕 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

A Boiler is a crafted component used to heat fluids, serving as a key ingredient in advanced industrial machines like the Oil Refinery, Portable Steam Engine, and Solar Generator. It is produced at a crafting station and weighs 500 grams, stacking up to 100. Since boilers are required for several mid-to-late-game machines, keeping a stock of them in your store or personal inventory ensures you can quickly build or upgrade your power and refining infrastructure when needed.
