🆕 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

Glass Scrap is the pure, single-material output of sorting mixed industrial glass waste, recovered through the recycling process after separating other contaminants. It functions as a solid, diggable block that can be carried on the back and serves as the primary feedstock for crafting Recycled Glass. Since fully sorted scrap is clean and stops polluting (unlike raw mixed garbage), processing your glass waste down to pure Glass Scrap turns a pollution liability into a usable crafting material.
