🆕 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

Mortar is a binding pitch used as an ingredient in several essential construction blocks, including Mortared Stone (tier‑1), Bricks (tier‑2), and the Bloomery and Kiln, as well as for building Stone Roads and signs. Because Mortared Stone is a key tier‑1 building material that improves housing value and enables better crafting upgrades, keeping a steady supply of mortar in community stores helps the whole town progress faster.
