🆕 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

Electronic Scrap is a garbage block produced as a byproduct when crafting complex items or processing electronics. It is not useful on its own and must be dissolved in a Recycler to recover precious minerals, turning a waste liability into a resource. Because mixed garbage piles merge their compositions, keeping electronic scrap separate from other waste streams makes sorting and recycling cleaner and more efficient.
