🆕 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 **Mining Advanced Upgrade** is an efficiency module that slots into a compatible crafting station to reduce both resource cost and craft time for mining-related recipes. It belongs to a family of upgrade modules, all capped at roughly 25% total benefit as of Update 13, with each quality level providing a smaller reduction than in earlier versions. Because this upgrade specifically targets mining crafts, it is most valuable for players who have invested in the Mining specialty and produce ore or stone goods at scale.
