🆕 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

The Powered Cart is a vehicle designed for hauling sizable loads, placing it as an intermediate logistics option for moving goods across a settlement or between industrial sites. It produces a small amount of air pollution (0.1 PPM/hour) while operating, meaning drivers should factor in the environmental impact of routine transport trips. A practical tip: because the cart reduces manual carrying, it is most valuable for regularly moving heavy commodities like ore or building materials, but be mindful of keeping fuel on hand and checking local pollution regulations if your settlement has environmental laws.
