🆕 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

Industry is a tier-5 skill that requires the Engineer specialty and represents advanced industrialization for producing large machines and high-end technology. It unlocks major production stations like the Advanced Carpentry Table, Advanced Masonry Table, and Electric Lathe, as well as the Excavator and Industrial Generator. Because Industry sits at the top of the tech tree, players investing here should coordinate with their town to ensure the necessary power infrastructure and high-tier building materials are in place to house these advanced stations.
