🆕 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

Scrap Meat is a basic meat ingredient produced from trimming or preparing larger cuts, used in a wide range of recipes from stews and sausages to fertilizer. With only 10 total nutrients (5 protein, 5 fat) and no carbs or vitamins, eating it raw provides minimal dietary balance — its real value is as a cooking ingredient in higher-tier dishes. Because it is compostable and has a 96-hour shelf life, it can be stored or disposed of without immediate spoilage concerns, though its low nutrient density means it should not be relied upon as a primary food source for maximizing skill-point gain.
