🆕 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

Vegetable Soup is a cooked food item that restores 1,200 calories and provides a nutrient mix heavy in vitamins (19) with moderate carbs (12) but low protein (4) and fat (7), making it unbalanced on its own. To maximize XP gain from the nutrition bonus, pair it with foods rich in protein and fat to bring all four nutrients closer to even. With a 72-hour shelf life and compostable, it fits as a mid-tier meal that helps satisfy vitamin needs but works best as part of a varied diet.
