🆕 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

The Country Foundation is a building component that marks the start of a country, the second-highest tier of player government. To place it, you need a Town Hall already established, as it requires a room of at least Tier 3 with a minimum of 45 cubic meters of free space in a claimed area. A town that places a Country Foundation and meets the other founding requirements (at least two member towns and sufficient Culture) can ratify a constitution to formally establish a new country layer of governance.
