🆕 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

Pineapple is a raw fruit crop obtained from nature. As a food, it provides 200 calories with 6 carbs, 2 vitamins, and no protein or fat, yielding a nutrient total of 8 that contributes to your diet's XP-gain rate. A practical tip is that because pineapple is heavily carb- and vitamin-focused with zero protein or fat, eating it alone will give a poor balance modifier; pairing it with a protein- and fat-rich food improves your overall nutrition balance and skill-point gain. It is also used as an ingredient in several campfire salads, fruit dishes, and research papers.

Diet & XP

Eating doesn't change a food's calories or nutrition — those are fixed. What your diet changes is your skill-gain rate (XP). This estimates the rate this food's nutrients contribute. ≈ estimate; set your diet in the ⚙ Character panel.
