🆕 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

Taro Fries are a prepared food item made by deep frying strips of taro in oil, providing 600 calories with a nutrient profile heavily weighted toward fat (20) and carbs (10), with 2 protein and no vitamins. Because their nutrients are unbalanced, they contribute a lower balance modifier to your XP multiplier compared to a varied meal, making them a decent calorie source but a poor choice for optimizing skill-point gain through diet. They are also used as an ingredient in Fish N Chips and Loaded Taro Fries, which combine them with other foods to create more balanced, higher-value meals.
