🆕 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 Steam Tractor Plow is an attachment for the Steam Tractor that enables rapid plowing of soil. It occupies the Tool category under tags such as Plow and Tool, and is crafted specifically at a Steam Tractor Plow recipe. A practical tip: because the plow allows a tractor to till large areas quickly, it is a major labor-saving upgrade for any settlement that relies on farming, letting a single player prepare fields much faster than by hand.
