🆕 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

Mochi is a crafted food item that provides 750 calories and a nutrient total of 30, but is highly unbalanced with 25 carbs and 5 vitamins while lacking protein and fat. This means it will contribute a poor balance modifier (×0.5) to your skill-point gain rate, so it is best used as a calorie source rather than a primary diet food—pair it with protein- and fat-rich foods to improve your XP multiplier. It is compostable and has a 72-hour shelf life.
