🆕 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 Flat Steel Door is a high‑tier (tier 5) placed building component used to enclose rooms in advanced construction. Because rooms require real doors (Update 13), installing a tier‑5 door contributes to a higher room‑value score, which improves the housing‑based XP bonus for residents. Use it to upgrade a settlement’s core buildings—paired with other tier‑5 materials and furnishings—to maximize skill‑point gain for the community.
