🆕 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.

Notes

Crushed Shale is a fine gravel produced by crushing shale rocks, commonly found in RainForest and Wetland biomes. It serves as an ingredient in advanced construction materials such as Asphalt Concrete, Reinforced Concrete, and Shale Brick, and can also be used as a solid, diggable building block. Stockpiling Crushed Shale early is useful for later road and concrete projects.
