🆕 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 Currency Exchange is a placed object that lets players convert one currency into another, functioning as a tool for personal or government-managed exchange. It fits into the economy as a category of world objects alongside stores and contract boards, enabling players to trade between personal credits or minted currencies without selling items. A practical tip for users is to coordinate with your settlement's treasury or elected officials when setting exchange rates, as the currency's value relies entirely on player trust and the rules your government may impose on minting or trade.
