🆕 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.

Notes

The Small Paper Machine is a mid-to-late-game crafting station that produces paper and related items, requiring a Tier 3 enclosed room with at least 18 m³ of free volume to operate. It accepts Basic and Paper Milling Upgrades to improve efficiency. Because it is the primary source of paper โ€” a key ingredient for research, printing, and advanced crafting โ€” ensuring a steady supply of paper from this machine is essential for a town's technological progression.
