🆕 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

Gold Ore is an unrefined mineral block mined from deep underground using a tier-3 pickaxe, commonly found in RainForest, ColdForest, and Taiga biomes at depths ranging from the surface down to 70 meters. As a raw resource, it stacks to 20 and is carried on the back or stored in resource piles, serving as the starting point for gold production through crushing recipes. A practical tip: because gold ore is heavy and each stack is limited, set up a nearby crushing station or stockpile to avoid hauling it long distances in small loads.
