🆕 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

Geology Research Paper Advanced is an advanced-tier research ingredient crafted at a Research Table and used to unlock skill books and upgrades across multiple professions, including Advanced Masonry, Composites, Electronics, and Mechanics. It also appears in recipes for Basic Engineering and Basic Upgrade 4, making it a key material for mid-to-late-game technological progress. Because one skill book can produce unlimited scrolls, players should coordinate with a dedicated researcher to stockpile these papers and ensure the town can discover critical skills efficiently.
