🆕 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

Fish N Chips is a cooked meal providing 1000 calories with a nutrient profile of 20 carbs, 10 protein, and 20 fat, but no vitamins, giving a total nutrient score of 50. As a food item, its unbalanced nutrient distribution means it will apply only a ×0.5 balance modifier to your XP/skill-gain rate if eaten alone, so it works best as part of a varied diet that includes vitamin-rich foods to offset the deficiency. This deep-fried dish has a 72-hour shelf life and can be placed on surfaces, making it a convenient, if imperfect, option for stocking a kitchen or store.
