🆕 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

The Hanging Steel Plain Sign is a wall-mounted decorative object with a 2x1x1 footprint, crafted from steel and attached to a wooden frame. As a placed world object, it allows players to label buildings or areas with a durable, industrial-style sign that stands out from earlier wooden markers. Consider crafting several of these signs to clearly mark public buildings and workshops, helping visitors and new citizens navigate your settlement.
