🆕 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 →

Contracts

Contracts

Contracts maintain an agreement between two citizens.

A contract is an agreement between two citizens created at a Contract Board. The agreement can have any number of clauses, and specify combinations of work to be performed and compensation to be paid. It is posted by the client citizen, and can be accepted by any valid citizen asynchronously.

Examples of contract include:
- Create a road between two designated points.
- Loan money between two parties with a given interest rate and due date.
- Build a room of given requirements at a specific location.
- Custom requirements described in text, and accepted/rejected by the client upon completion.
