🆕 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 Friendly Scarecrow is a decorative World Object placed outdoors that contributes 2 housing value to a room as a Decoration furniture item. It fits in the Housing category, where each additional scarecrow in the same room is worth only 40% of the previous one, so placing more than one yields sharply diminishing returns. A practical tip: use a single scarecrow to add a small housing bonus to an outdoor area, but avoid stacking multiples in the same room since the value drops quickly.
