🆕 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 Industry Skill Book is a research item that, when right-clicked, produces an unlimited number of Industry Skill Scrolls, which players can read to unlock the Industry specialty tree. It is crafted at a Research Table using research papers and other resources, making it a key investment for any settlement aiming to advance its industrial capabilities. Once a single Industry Skill Book exists on a server, any player can obtain a scroll from it, so the community only needs one researcher to craft this book to enable the entire server to access the Industry profession.
