🆕 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 Gear is a basic mechanical part crafted early in the game for use in simple wooden machinery, such as the Loom and the Machinist Table. As a lightweight ingredient and parts item, stocking Wooden Gears in a store helps other players start their own textile or advanced crafting setups without needing to craft the gears themselves. It is produced using a specific recipe and is a key early component for transitioning from primitive tools to more complex workstations.
