🆕 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

Salmon is a medium-sized fish harvested from wild salmon populations in the world's rivers and oceans. As a basic ingredient, it can be used in simple cooking recipes like Campfire Fish Medium or processed into Clean Medium Fish for use in more advanced dishes. For new players, catching and cooking salmon early is a reliable way to maintain a steady calorie supply and begin building a balanced diet, which directly supports faster skill-point gain.
