🆕 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 Truck is a modern vehicle for hauling sizable loads, placed as a 2×2×5 object that can be set on unowned land. It functions as a storage container and is mountable, making it a key late-game logistics tool for moving bulk goods. While operating, it emits 0.5 PPM of air pollution per hour, so plan its routes and usage to minimize ecological impact on your settlement.
