🆕 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

Root Campfire Salad is a simple early-game food that blends foraged roots and plants into a single dish, providing 950 calories and a decent nutrient spread (8 carbs, 5 protein, 4 fat, 11 vitamins). Its high vitamin content helps players work toward the balanced diet bonus, making it a useful transitional meal before more advanced cooking is unlocked. It can also be used as herbivore feed and as an ingredient to craft Basic Culinary Research Papers.
