🆕 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.

Notes

The **Fir Log** is a softwood harvested from fir trees, serving as a fundamental early-game resource and fuel source with a burn value of 4000. It's used in many foundational recipes including Boards, Campfires, Charcoal, and even early structures like Adobe, making it a key material for any settlement's initial construction and industry. A practical tip is to stockpile fir logs early, as they can be processed into higher-tier materials like Lumber or Planks at a Sawmill, or turned into Charcoal for more efficient fuel, helping to accelerate the town's transition from raw materials to tier-1 building.
