🆕 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 **Iron Hammer** is a tier-2 tool used for refined construction work, notably assembling advanced building materials like Mortared Stone. As a mid-game upgrade from the stone hammer, it offers significantly higher durability (1,500 uses) but consumes 8 calories per swing and deals minimal damage to animals. Because it is an Ingredient in the Scrap Tool recipe, consider setting a fair store price for used or damaged hammers to keep your town's scrap flow efficient, rather than simply discarding them.
