🆕 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

Gold Bars are refined ingots produced by smelting gold ore, serving primarily as a high-value **minted currency** backing โ€” each bar can be turned into up to 10,000 coins at a Mint. They also function as a premium building material for high-tier construction and furniture, such as the Bank, Embassy Desk, and ornate stone benches and chairs. When using them as currency, mint only what you trust will hold value, since minted gold-backed coins are scarce and harder to inflate than personal credit.
