🆕 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

A simple cooked meal with balanced carb and vitamin content, Topped Porridge provides a moderate 700 calories with no fat. It is a mid-tier food that competes for stomach space alongside other options; for the best skill-point gain, pair it with fatty or protein-rich foods to keep all four nutrients roughly even, as the balance modifier multiplies your XP rate up to 2×. Since it spoils in 72 hours, craft it in quantities you will eat before it goes bad.
