🆕 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

Sugar is a refined food ingredient produced from beets or other sources, used in a wide range of recipes from pastries to savory dishes. It provides 50 calories and 15 carbs with no other nutrients, so eating it alone offers poor nutritional balance and a low XP multiplier — it is best used as a cooking component rather than a standalone food. As a shelf-stable product, it is a practical item to stock in stores for bakers and cooks who need it for advanced recipes.
