🆕 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

Sun Cheese is a crafted food item produced through processing, offering moderate calories and a notable fat content (12g) with zero vitamins, making it best suited as a cooking ingredient rather than a daily staple. Its shelf life of 96 hours means it spoils relatively fast, so it is practical to craft it only when preparing one of the many recipes that call for it, such as Agouti Enchiladas or the various pizzas. Because its nutrient profile is unbalanced (high fat, no vitamins), eating Sun Cheese alone provides a poor diet multiplier—its real value is in combining it with other ingredients in a finished dish for a better-balanced meal.
