🆕 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 Steam Truck is a mountable, drivable vehicle for moving goods and players across the map. It provides 24 storage slots and two seats, runs on Burnable Fuel at 300 J/s, and reaches a top speed of 18. Because it emits 0.2 air pollution PPM/hour while operating, drivers should plan efficient routes and consider their settlement's environmental laws to avoid contributing heavily to the shared pollution burden.
