🆕 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

Crimini Mushrooms are a wild-harvested fungus crop with a protein-heavy nutrition profile (4 protein out of 8 total nutrients per serving). They are used as an ingredient in several research papers (including Agriculture Research Paper Advanced and Modern) and cooked dishes such as Mushroom Medley and Hearty Hometown Pizza. Because their nutrient balance leans heavily on protein, eating them alone yields a low diet multiplier; pairing them with carb- or vitamin-rich foods improves overall nutrition for faster skill gain.
