🆕 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

The Electric Lathe is an advanced industrial crafting station that uses electric power to produce metal components such as Rubber Wheels and Steel Axles. It must be placed in a Tier 4 enclosed room with at least 45 m³ of free volume, and it accepts Industry and Modern Upgrade modules to reduce resource and labor costs. Stocking these modules in the station will speed up production of critical vehicle parts, helping your townโ€™s logistics and transport sector.
