🆕 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

Lupine is a flowering crop grown from seeds obtained from wild lupine plants, and it is harvested for its petals and natural fibers. It has several industrial uses as an ingredient in crafting items like Cellulose Fiber, Charred Mortar, Colored Powder, Composite Filler, and Processed Colored Powder, making it a versatile early-to-mid-game resource. A practical tip: because lupine stacks to 100 and weighs only 50 grams per unit, it is an efficient crop to stockpile for bulk processing into construction and crafting materials.
