🆕 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

An Orchid Seed is a plantable item obtained from harvesting an Orchid, used to grow more orchids when placed on a surface. While it is tagged as a food and product, the seed provides zero calories and no nutrients if eaten, meaning it offers no benefit to your skill-point gain from diet. A practical tip is to compost any extra seeds rather than eating them, as their only useful non-planting function is breaking down into compost.
