🆕 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

The Campfire is the earliest cooking station, used to prepare basic and intermediate foods like Bannock, Campfire Animal dishes, and Beet Campfire Salad at the start of a game. It burns Burnable Fuel at 10 J/s and has two storage slots for ingredients and output, plus it accepts Basic and Campfire Cooking Upgrade modules to improve efficiency over time. A practical tip: place it in a properly enclosed room (even a simple tier-0 one) and keep it fueled so you can craft the varied meals needed to boost your nutrition and skill-point gain early on.
