🆕 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 Transmission Pole is a placed electrical infrastructure object, used to link and extend electrical energy across a settlement. Its 1x8x1 footprint makes it a long, narrow structure that carries power from generators like combustion or solar panels to demand objects such as laser drills and computer labs. An effective tip is to plan a power grid route that avoids placing poles through water or heavily polluted areas, since high pollution can degrade nearby housing value and indirectly complicate energy infrastructure expansion.
