🆕 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 →

Mixed Residuals

Mixed Residuals

Leftover residue from garbage sorting — compost, inert garbage and pollutants mixed together. Run it through a Residuals Sorter to separate it.

Notes

Mixed Residuals are the leftover blend of compost, inert garbage, and pollutants that remains after garbage sorting, and they cannot be processed further by standard sorting machines. This garbage block must instead be run through a Residuals Sorter to separate its components into usable materials. Because mixed piles of garbage merge their composition when combined, it is best practice to feed this waste into the sorter promptly rather than letting it accumulate and pollute the ground.
