🆕 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 Spin Melter is a Tier 4 industrial crafting table that transforms synthetic materials into thin ribbons, producing Fiberglass and Nylon Thread. It accepts Glassworking, Tailoring, and general Modern Upgrades to improve its efficiency. Place this 3x3x2 block in an enclosed room with at least 30 cubic meters of free volume to unlock its recipes. Stocking its end products supports advanced composite and textile industries, which are critical for high-tier building materials and late-game progression.
