🆕 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 →

Property

Property

Citizens and governments may own property and determine the access rights of them.

By claiming Property, citizens can protect access to plots of land, determining who is allowed to access the land and what they are allowed to do on objects contained on it.

Land Property Rights

Land can be claimed as property by using a Land Claim Stake and targeting an unclaimed plot of land. When targeted, a Settlement Claim Stake will be planted, and the citizen will become the owner on the deed. The property at your current position can be seen in the world panel in the bottom right of the screen, and clicking the title will open the deed.

Object Property Rights

Objects can have their access rights set separately from the land they are on, to allow consumer access to objects that are on private land. These settings are determined in an Authorization Component.

Deeds

On the deed, citizens can add and remove parties that may access the land (place or remove blocks). The owner can also be changed by clicking the gear beside the owner name. Note that both Demographics and Titles can both be given ownership on a deed, including Elected Titles. Structuring a government this way can allow only elected officials to have certain access rights to land.
