🆕 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 Wooden Bow is a primitive tier-1 ranged weapon used for hunting, requiring arrows to fire. It deals very low damage to animals (×0.2) and consumes 20 calories per use, with a maximum durability of 400 shots, making it a basic early-game tool for harvesting food and training the Hunting skill. Crafted at a workbench, it can also be recycled into a Scrap Tool once it is no longer needed.
