🆕 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 Cedar Seed is a planting item used to grow a cedar sapling, sourced from the Cedar tree in the wild. It offers no nutritional value — its calories and all four nutrients are zero — so it serves no role in the food or XP-gain system. A practical tip is that cedar wood is a valuable early-game building material, so a player invested in logging may benefit from collecting and replanting these seeds to maintain a renewable local wood supply.
