🆕 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 →

Charred Corn

Charred Corn

This piece of corn needs a good slathering of butter to curb that burnt taste.

Notes

Charred Corn is a basic cooked food made by charring corn, providing 350 calories along with modest carbohydrate and vitamin content (7 carbs, 4 vitamins, 1 protein) but no fat. As a charred vegetable product with a 72-hour shelf life, it fits early-game food production when you need calories and some nutrient variety in your stomach, though its low nutrient total (12) and poor fat content make it weak for maximizing the balanced-diet XP multiplier—pair it with fatty foods like oil or butter to improve your nutrition balance.
