🆕 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 →

Composite Bow

Tool

A modern composite bow made with fiberglass that makes hunting a breeze. Requires arrows to fire.

Weight1000 gMax stack1SkillHunting Lv 6StationFletching Table

Notes

The Composite Bow is a high-tier tier 4 tool for hunting, firing arrows that deal 1.5 base damage with a 0.2x multiplier against animals. It requires 20 calories per use, has a maximum durability of 4000, and trains the Hunting skill when used. Because this bow still needs arrows to shoot, your hunting effectiveness depends on having a steady supply of ammunition to pair with it.
