🆕 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

Crimson Salad is a vitamin-rich vegetarian food, providing 1200 calories and a strong dose of vitamins (28) alongside modest carbs (13), protein (7), and fat (8). Because its nutrient profile leans heavily toward vitamins, it works best as part of a varied diet paired with carb-, protein-, and fat-heavy foods to approach the balanced nutrition bonus that boosts XP gain. It also functions as herbivore feed, is compostable, and spoils after 72 hours, so craft only in reasonable quantities.
