🆕 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 →

Notes

The Icebox is a storage container that also serves as food storage furniture, providing a housing value of 3 in a Kitchen room. Like other Food Storage items, each additional Icebox in the same room offers only half the housing value of the previous one, so placing just one per kitchen gives the best housing bonus. With 16 storage slots, it is ideal for keeping food items, but it must be placed in an enclosed room with at least 8 m³ of free volume.
