🆕 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 Electric Planer is a high-tier, placed crafting station used to produce advanced metal components such as Steel Gears and Steel Gearboxes. It accepts Industry and Modern upgrade modules to reduce resource and labor costs. To function, it must be placed in an enclosed room of at least Tier 4 with 150 m³ free volume โ€” meaning the settlement must invest in high-quality building materials and spacious construction before it can be operated efficiently.
