🆕 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

Rice Noodles are a simple, low-nutrition food crafted from milled white grains, providing 200 calories but only 10 total nutrient points (all from carbs) with no protein, fat, or vitamins. Because they offer no nutrient variety, eating them alone will give you the worst possible ×0.5 balance modifier on your skill-point gain rate — pair them with foods that supply protein, fat, and vitamins to avoid tanking your XP. They are a key ingredient in several higher-tier dishes like Bison Chow Fun and Phad Thai, which combine them with other ingredients for a much better nutrient profile.
