🆕 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

Prepared Meat is a basic ingredient produced from butchered raw meat, providing 600 calories with a protein-fat nutrient profile but no carbs or vitamins. As a perishable ingredient with a 72-hour shelf life, it is used in several cooked dishes like Fried Hare Haunches, Phad Thai, and Simmered Meat, which offer more balanced nutrition for better XP gain. A practical tip: because Prepared Meat lacks carbohydrate and vitamin content, eating it alone gives an unbalanced diet, so pair it with carb-rich and vitamin-rich foods to maximize your skill-point multiplier.

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.
