🆕 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.

Notes

The Tiki Torch is a placed decorative object that provides outdoor lighting by burning fat as fuel at 1 J/s. Each torch contributes 2 housing value, but only outdoors, and its value as a Light furniture type has diminishing returns โ€” each repeat in a room is worth only 40% of the previous one. A practical tip: because it has 2 storage slots and consumes fat, you can load it with extra fuel, though its main role is as a low-value outdoor housing decoration rather than a primary progression tool.
