🆕 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 Carpentry Skill Book is a research item crafted at a Research Table, allowing players to unlock the Carpentry specialty by reading a skill scroll spawned from it. This specialty is essential for producing lumber and planks, which form the basis of tier-1 wooden construction and significantly improve housing quality and crafting upgrade potential. A practical tip: since a single book can generate unlimited scrolls, towns benefit from having at least one researcher craft the book and share scrolls so that multiple players can specialize in carpentry without each needing to craft the book themselves.
