🆕 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 Stone Sickle is a tier 1 harvesting tool used to cut crops or grass, and it trains the Gathering skill as you work. As a basic early-game tool made from stone, it has low durability (400 uses) and consumes 20 calories per swing, making it a starting option before better tools are available. A practical tip: because its animal damage multiplier is only 0.2, this tool is not effective for hunting—reserve it solely for harvesting and clear your gathering tasks efficiently before its durability runs out.
