🆕 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

Sulfuric Acid is an industrial solvent produced from a dedicated recipe and serves as both a catalyst and ingredient in advanced processes. It is used to craft Modern Agriculture Research Papers, make Synthetic Phosphate Fertilizer, or reprocess both Dry and Wet Tailings from mining operations. Because it is a key input for cleaning up mining waste, keep a steady supply on hand if your town is refining large amounts of ore.
