🆕 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 Elks Taco is a cooked food item that provides 700 calories with a carbohydrate, protein, fat, and vitamin distribution totaling 51 nutrient points. Its primary value is as part of a balanced diet: eating a variety of high-tier foods while keeping the four nutrients roughly even maximizes your XP multiplier from nutrition, so this taco is best combined with other foods to maintain that balance rather than eaten exclusively.
