🆕 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 Keel is an ingredient and product item that serves as the structural backbone for wooden ship construction. It is produced through the Wooden Keel recipe and is consumed when crafting Small, Medium, or Large Wooden Ship Frames. Because it is a required component for every tier of wooden ship, stocking or producing keels in advance will speed the shipbuilding process for the settlement.
