🆕 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

The Screw Press is an advanced crafting station that produces Copper Plates, Iron Plates, and Pistons, key components for vehicle and wheel construction. To function, it must be placed inside an enclosed room that has at least 12 cubic meters of free volume and meets Tier 3 material requirements. It also accepts Advanced and Mechanics Advanced upgrade modules, so building a high-quality room around it will improve crafting efficiency.
