🆕 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 →

Flatbread

Without any leavening the flatbread isn't very puffy. But it's still tasty.

Notes

Flatbread is a simple, unleavened food produced from basic ingredients. It provides moderate calories and a carbohydrate-heavy nutrient profile, making it a useful early-game staple or a component of a varied diet. Because its nutrition is fixed, its main contribution to skill gain is through its role in overall diet balance and variety — pairing it with other foods can help improve the XP multiplier.
