🆕 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 Upgrade is a high-tier module that significantly reduces the resource cost and craft time of Industry recipes on a compatible crafting station. This efficiency gain makes it essential for scaling up advanced manufacturing, though its maximum benefit is capped at roughly a 25% reduction. For the best effect, ensure the station is inside a high-tier room (tier-2 or above), as the module requires a sufficiently upgraded workspace to function.
