🆕 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

Meat Stock is a middle-tier cooking ingredient made by simmering animal flesh, providing 600 calories and a moderate nutrient blend of 8 protein, 9 fat, and 3 carbs with no vitamins. Its nutrient total of 20 supports the food-quality loop, but because its vitamins are zero, it cannot contribute to the balanced-diet ×2 multiplier on its own — pair Meat Stock with a vitamin-rich ingredient in a recipe like Simmered Meat to improve your overall nutrition balance and skill-point gain rate. Store it properly, as its 72-hour shelf life means stockpiling without a fridge will lead to spoilage.
