🆕 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

Cedar Log is a softwood block obtained from Cedar trees. It serves as a tier-0 building material and a burnable fuel (fuel value 4000), making it useful for early campfires, charcoal production, and basic construction before lumber or mortared stone are available. Because Cedar wood is a softwood and a natural moth repellent, it is used in recipes like Adobe and Arrow bundles—stocking some in town stores helps new players start building and cooking quickly.
