🆕 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 Farming Skill Book is a research item that, when right-clicked, spawns unlimited Farming Skill Scrolls, which any player can read to unlock the Farming specialty tree. This book must be crafted at a Research Table after the Farming specialty has been discovered, and it is a critical resource because one book can supply an entire server with scrolls, enabling the community to grow crops and cook better food. A practical tip: since commodities—the researcher who crafts this book should sell or share scrolls freely, because widespread access to farming directly improves everyone's nutrition and skill-point gain.
