🆕 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

Charred Fish is a simple cooked food produced by campfire recipes and used as an ingredient in Fish Stew. With 400 calories and a total of 15 nutrients split between protein and fat, it provides a moderate, unbalanced meal that works best as part of a varied diet to improve your skill-point gain rate. Because it spoils in 72 hours and stacks to 100, it is a practical compact food for early-game travel or calorie reserves, but its lack of carbs and vitamins means you should pair it with other foods to maintain the balanced nutrition bonus for faster progression.
