🆕 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 →

Item Distribution Component

Item Distribution Component

Allows the owner to provide free items to new citizens, as an act of good will and to boost initial citizen prosperity.

The Item Distribution Component allows the owner to provide free items to new citizens, as an act of good will and to boost initial citizen prosperity.

All new citizens who qualify (based on how long they have played) can collect their items by visiting the DistributionStationItem. Upon entering the world, new citizens will start with a global map marker to alert them that the items are available. Note that the Storage Component must remain stocked with the items being distributed to allow new citizens to collect them.

The owner may designate what items are to be distributed, how many of each item, and how recently the citizen must have joined the world to be eligible.
