🆕 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

Explorer Boots are footgear that reduce calorie consumption when using tools by 30%, making every crafting or mining action less taxing on your food supply. As a clothing item (tagged Clothes, Product) worn on the feet, it helps stretch your stomach's calorie reserve during labor-intensive tasks. Because the effect applies to all tool use, equipping these boots is a practical way to reduce how often you need to eat while working, especially when paired with a balanced diet and good housing for faster skill-point gain.
