🆕 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

Hardwood Board is a higher-quality wood product used in furniture and many industrial recipes, such as the Arrastra, Blacksmith Table, and Bloomery. It can be burned as fuel (2000 fuel value) or minted into currency (up to 10000 coins per item), making it a versatile trade good. Stocking Hardwood Boards in public stores helps accelerate furniture and workshop construction, which in turn improves housing value and crafting efficiency for the whole town.
