🆕 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 →

Constitution

Constitution

The founding document for a government.

A constitution is a founding document defining how a society will be governed. A constitution must be created before any other government object. They are created at a Capitol.
Ratifying a Constitution
Once a capitol is placed, a constitution can be proposed by opening it and clicking Create Ratification Election Draft. You can add additional provisions (Titles, Election Processes, etc.) to the election before starting voting. These provisions can then be referenced in the constitution draft.

Overthrowing Governments
If there is already a constitution active, a new constitution can be proposed to take its place if the housing value of the new capitol room exceeds that of the existing capitol by a significant amount, depending on the server settings.
Note: A forthcoming update of Eco will allow multiple concurrent governments.
