🆕 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.

Fish Trap

Fish Trap

WorldObject

A trap to catch river fish as they swim. It can only be used in fresh water as it's too small to catch the larger ocean fish.

Notes

A Fish Trap is a placed object used to catch river fish in freshwater—it is too small to work in the ocean. It takes up a 2x1x1 footprint in water and provides four storage slots for holding caught fish. For best results, place traps in known freshwater fishing spots and check them regularly, as they rely on fish swimming through their location.
