🆕 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 Lumber is a tier-3 building block and a versatile fuel source (4000 fuel value) used in advanced construction and high-tier furniture. It is produced through the Lumber recipe and serves as an ingredient for items like the Advanced Carpentry Table, Bank, and Bookshelf. Because it is a high-tier material, stocking it in town stores helps residents build better rooms faster, which directly improves housing value and skill-point gain for everyone.
