🆕 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

Elk Wellington is a high-tier cooked meal that provides 1,450 calories and a robust nutrient profile (26 protein, 22 fat, 10 carbs, 4 vitamins), making it excellent for boosting your skill-point gain rate when eaten as part of a balanced, varied diet. Its high protein and fat content help fill the stomach with quality nutrition, and because it is a crafted food, it typically appears in mid-to-late game when a chef has access to advanced cooking recipes. Practical tip: serve Elk Wellington alongside other nutrient-dense foods to keep your four nutrient averages balanced, and remember its 72-hour shelf life — store it in a refrigerator or eat it promptly to avoid spoilage.
