🆕 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

Cotton Fabric is a lightweight, breathable textile used across many crafting recipes, from clothing and backpacks to furniture and mounts. It is produced by weaving cotton and can be minted into currency, making it a versatile trade good. Because it is both a common crafting ingredient and a mintable item, stocking cotton fabric in a store can help stabilize a local economy while also meeting widespread demand for gear and housing items.
