🆕 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 Masonry Skill Book is a research item that, when created at a Research Table, allows players to spawn skill scrolls for the Masonry specialty. This book is essential for enabling others to learn how to produce mortared stone and advance building construction to tier-1, which improves housing value and unlocks better crafting-station upgrades. A practical tip: since one book can spawn unlimited scrolls, a single researcher crafting this book early can supply the entire server, making it a valuable public-good investment for any growing settlement.
