🆕 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 Liquid Tank is a placed storage container for holding liquids, providing a reliable buffer for fluid handling in your industrial setup. It occupies a 3x5x3 grid-aligned footprint and is crafted at a workbench using basic materials. A practical tip is to place one next to machines that consume fresh water, such as a Desalinator or crafting stations, to smooth out supply interruptions or fluctuations.
