🆕 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 →

Prairie Dog Carcass

Notes

A dead prairie dog, this carcass is an ingredient obtained by hunting the prairie dog in the wild. It falls under the Tiny Carcass and Tiny Leather Carcass tags, meaning it can be processed at a butchering station into tiny leather, or cooked over a campfire for food. For a practical tip, butchering the carcass for its leather is often more valuable than simply roasting it, as the leather can be used for early-game crafting projects.
