🆕 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 →

Civic Action Component

Civic Action Component

Allows citizens to participate in elections and perform executive actions.

The Civic Action Component allows citizens to participate in Elections, perform Executive Actions, and resign from office, depending on which object is being used.

Participating in Elections

When using the Civic Action Component at a Ballot Box, citizens can run for Elected Titles and participate in elections.

By pressing the Vote button, players are redirected to the web interface where they can see all running Elections, discuss them with their fellow citizens, provide evidence for their arguments with Data, and vote.

Citizens who have been granted Veto power in the current Election Process can instantly overturn an election.

To run for elected titles, first an eligible citizen must use the Start Election action. Once an election has started, eligible citizens can select Enter Election to join the race and give a campaign speech. Candidates can opt to Withdraw from Election at any time using the option available on a Ballot Box.

Performing Executive Actions

Using the Civic Action Component at an Executive Office allows an elected title to perform one-time executive actions that affect a set of citizens.

The Citizen Conditions dictate which citizens the executive action applies to, and multiple conditions can be set for a citizen to qualify. To perform an action for all citizens, use the Demographic ‘Everyone’ as the citizen condition.

The Action on Each Citizen will take effect as soon as the executive action is approved. Multiple actions can be performed at once for each citizen who meets the conditions.

Government Office Actions

At the Government Office, the Civic Action Component allows elected titles to resign or remove other elected titles from office.

The Resign from Office action allows any elected official to step down from their position. If a Successor title was assigned to the Elected Title when it was created, a new official will be randomly selected from all citizens holding that title; otherwise the Elected Title becomes vacant.

The Remove Official from Office action allows citizens who have been given the authority to remove elected titles from office. The same rules for finding a successor apply as if the official resigned.
