🆕 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

Steel Pipe is a tier 4 solid building block, placed on walls, used in advanced industrial recipes like the Froth Floatation Cell and Industrial Generator. Its high tier makes it valuable for constructing high-quality rooms, which boost housing value and unlock higher-tier crafting upgrades. As a key ingredient in late-game machinery, stocking steel pipes helps a settlement progress toward meteor defense and efficient industrial production.
