🆕 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 →

Granite

Granite

A hard rock useful for construction, and host to various ores. Granite forms from cooling magma deep underground. It is the most common continental rock type!

Notes

Granite is a common hard rock block used in construction and as a host for ores, minable only with a tier 3 pickaxe and found in wetland biomes at depths of 55–60 meters. It serves as a key ingredient for crafting building materials like Ashlar Granite and Crushed Granite, as well as early stations such as the Campfire and Carpentry Table. Since granite requires a high-tier pickaxe, ensure you have upgraded your mining tools before quarrying it, and stockpile it for both construction and processing into crushed stone for higher-tier recipes.
