🆕 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.

Notes

Copper Plate is a refined industrial part crafted from copper, used as a component in several advanced machines including the Boiler, Oil Refinery, and Power Hammer. It also serves as a mintable item, with each plate able to be turned into up to 10,000 coins at a Mint, making it a potential backing material for a player-created currency. If you have surplus copper plates, minting them can provide a tangible, resource-backed foundation for your town's economy.
