🆕 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 Glassworking Advanced Upgrade is a high-tier efficiency module that significantly reduces resource cost and craft time for Glassworking recipes on an eligible crafting station. It belongs to the "Advanced Upgrade" tier, so the station must be placed in a sufficiently high-tier room (tier-1 or better) to accept it. If you are the settlement’s specialist glassblower, investing in this upgrade on your primary station will stretch your materials further and speed up production of glass components for the rest of the town.
