🆕 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 Steel Hammer is a tier-3 tool primarily used for shaping blocks and deconstruction, notably the hammer can remove blocks when equipped. It deals low damage (1) and minimal animal damage (x0.2), making it ineffective as a weapon; its role is purely construction-focused. A practical tip: because the hammer costs 6 calories per use and has 2500 max durability, you should save your energy for this tool's intended purpose and leave combat to proper weapons.
