🆕 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 Mill is a tier-2 crafting station that refines food resources by crushing them under a stone millstone, turning items like acorns, beans, beets, and corn into powders, pastes, and oils. It requires placement in an enclosed room of at least tier 2 with 18 m³ of free volume, and its housing value of 2 (as a Food Preparation furniture item) means each subsequent Mill in the same room contributes only half the value of the previous one. A practical tip: since the Mill accepts Basic and Milling Upgrade modules, installing the best available upgrade reduces both resource cost and craft time for all the powders and pastes you produce here.
