🆕 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 Industrial Generator is a large, modern electricity-producing machine that consumes liquid fuel to generate high volumes of power for a settlement's electric grid. It is a late-game object requiring a Tier 4 room with at least 240 m³ of free volume, and its 5x5x9 footprint must be placed grid-aligned. While operating, it emits 2.88 air pollution PPM per hour, so consider siting it away from residential areas and balancing its use with cleaner power sources to avoid degrading housing value and the local ecosystem.
