Notes
Copper Ore is a raw mineral block mined from the ground, found most commonly in warm and cold forests near the surface and at deeper depths in colder biomes. It is the starting source of copper, a key early metal, and must be crushed before it can be smelted into usable bars. A practical tip: because copper is needed for early tools, wiring, and basic research papers, stockpiling a small surplus of crushed copper in a public store helps the whole town get past the initial hand-tool phase faster.

The descriptive prose on this wiki is written by a large language model — but it runs entirely on local, self-hosted hardware: a Gemma 4 E4B model on a single NVIDIA RTX 4070 in a home Unraid server.
Nothing you read here was generated by a commercial cloud API. The game data itself is pulled live from the Eco server; the AI only fills in flavor and gap text. Like any web server, this one keeps its own request log — including visitors' IP addresses — purely to run and improve the site; it is never sold or handed to a third party.
This wiki is one face of a larger Eco mod: Solomon, an in-world AI steward that runs the server's economy, posts help contracts, keeps a store, and answers players. The wiki reads the same live game registries and tools Solomon does — so the numbers stay true to the running world. Read more about the project →
