🆕 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

Sunflower Seeds are obtained by harvesting naturally grown Sunflowers and are used to plant new Sunflowers in surface soil, making them essential for establishing a reliable crop rotation. Beyond farming, they serve as a key ingredient for producing Sunflower Oil, Sun Cheese, and their processed versions, as well as for crafting Agriculture Research Paper Advanced. A practical tip: because these seeds have zero nutritional value and provide no calories, they are purely a farming input and crafting ingredient — do not rely on them for the diet and housing XP multiplier loop; instead, focus on planting and processing them into value-added goods for the town economy.
