🆕 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 →

Field Campfire Stew

A thick stew chock-full of meat and charred vegetables. A surprisingly good combination.

Notes

Field Campfire Stew is a cooked meal that delivers 1100 calories and a carb-heavy nutrient profile (14 carbs, 8 fat, 4 protein, 4 vitamins). Because this imbalance lowers the nutrition-based XP multiplier, it's most effective for skill-point gain when eaten alongside protein- and vitamin-rich foods to achieve a balanced diet. The stew can be placed on surfaces as a food block and has a shelf life of 72 hours.
