🆕 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 →

Crab Carcass

Crab Carcass

A crustacean that loves the ocean, just don't get caught in its pinch!

Notes

Crabs drop Crab Carcass when harvested, yielding a protein-rich ingredient that pairs well with ocean-based dishes. It is used to assemble Banh Xeo, Clean Crab, Kelpy Crab Roll, and basic campfire small fish recipes. Because it weighs 2000 g and stacks to 100, players hunting crab for food or cooking should keep a dedicated stockpile nearby to avoid heavy trips back to base.
