🆕 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 Truck Flatbed is a tool attachment that must be produced via the Steam Truck Flatbed recipe before it can be used. It sits in the Tool category and stacks to one unit, weighing 8,000 grams. As a flatbed, it is meant for carrying cargo on a steam truck, making it important for mid-game bulk transport of goods between settlements or mining sites. If you own a steam truck and need to haul large quantities of materials, having a flatbed attachment is a practical upgrade over hand-carrying or smaller carts.
