🆕 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 →

Chemical Neutralizer

Chemical Neutralizer

Tools

Industrial reagent that neutralizes toxic chemical contamination. Costly to produce, but the only way to recover land past the chemical self-cleaning ceiling. Apply it to any ground or built block on a claim: one unit cancels one unit of Chemical Pollution source, and half of the decontaminant waiting on an area takes effect every 24 hours.

Notes

The Chemical Neutralizer is an industrial reagent applied to ground or built blocks on a claim to remove Chemical Pollution, the only means to recover land past the chemical self-cleaning ceiling. One unit cancels one unit of Chemical Pollution source, and half of the decontaminant waiting on an area takes effect every 24 hours. Because it is costly to produce, prioritize neutralizing the hottest chemical spots on your claim rather than broadly treating low-level contamination.
