🆕 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 Articles

Civic Articles

A set of rules about how the government works.

Constitutional Articles define how things happen in the government: who can pass laws, set taxes, change the rules, etc. It can also define certain actions as needing an election, by specifying an Election Process inside them.

Constitutional Articles can be added in two places. On a CapitolItem, you can add up to three, and on AmendmentsItem you can add up to another 10 more per item.

Defining the rules of the government is very important for keeping it a stable, society-supporting structure. Governments can be granted a great deal of power over the world with laws, and there's a danger of this power being abused. By setting a system of checks and balances, citizens can design a government that can undergo a number of changes, including changes of leadership, while maintaining the power to effect positive changes in the world.
