🆕 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 Tree Cutter is an attachment for the steam tractor that turns it into a mechanical logging tool for quickly felling trees. It fits into the mid-game progression as a step up from hand-chopping with an axe, greatly speeding up wood harvesting for any town scaling up its lumber production. A practical tip: since cut trees with this attachment drop logs on the ground, pair it with a scoop attachment or bring a separate vehicle for log collection to avoid leaving valuable materials scattered around the forest.
