Notes before reading this document:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a) This document is a thorough list and walkthrough of all elements within
the game. It includes a detailed listing of all building structures,
policies, and research projects and the variables required to attain them.
It includes tips for starting off a new game and for making the smooth
transition to a zero emission continent and for adapting to increased
population growth. It also addresses inconsistencies in the
presentation of game elements.
b) This document is protected by US Copyright Law, and the Berne Copyright
Convention of 1976. This document is for private and personal use only--it

e) This guide appears in plain text at GameFAQs and other websites may link
to its location on GameFAQs.
f) This FAQ began on July 30, 2011 when I first completed the game
successfully. I first saw the game at an Oops Outlet at Tanger Outlets.
The box art showed all of the power stations in the game, which reminded
me and my brother of the power plants in Simcity.
g) This FAQ is for the gamer who picked up the game and cannot instinctively
determine the value of the structures and policies. The system of bars and
graphs without number representations is confusing. This FAQ will assist you
in the learning curve, speeding things along, and getting you to the point
where you can win every time!
h) This FAQ covers the Windows XP version of the game, which as of now is
the only release published. It plays on Windows XP, Vista, and 7. You can
try and download it on the Valusoft website:

2) About the Game:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description from the box:
"ItÕs up to you to balance the nationÕs economy, power levels, food supplies,
water supplies, and natural resources while working to reduce CO2 levels and
keeping population happy.
Set up government policies such as introducing a carbon tax, subsidizing
domestic solar panels and encouraging the use of public transport to try to
cut down CO2 emissions and save money.
Watch out for natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, oil spills
and nuclear waste Ð they are a direct result of your performance.
Become the Eco Tycoon, save the world from ecological disasters!"
The game was released in 2009 by Valusoft, a division of THQ, with a game
rating of E for Everyone with mild violence and with little
fanfare. It retailed for $19.99.
This game differs from the Simcity series in that it focuses on the
interaction between humans and the environment while Simcity focuses on more
aspects of urban planning. Both games incorporate water, waste, and power
concerns. Time moves linearly in Simcity while Eco Tycoon uses a turn-based
system, so at the end of each turn the world moves right to the next year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3) Game Mechanics
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTIONS:
Sound FX
Music
Bloom - computer graphics effect involving light on objects
Outline - black border around objects
Help - turn on or off the in-game tutorial
You begin in the year 2009. Your goal is to reduce your emissions of carbon
dioxide to low levels by 2059.
The difficulty of the game lies in first making a conversion from polluting
structures to air-cleansing structures. Then in the late 2030s and early
2040s, you must tackle the rise in population and the lack of available
space and resources to work with.
World Summit meetings occur every five years on the 4s and 9s:
2014, 2019
2024, 2029
2034, 2039
2044, 2049
2054, 2059
You may choose between a percentage decrease of 1, 2, 5, 10, or 20 of the
global carbon dioxide emissions as a goal for the next ten years. If you
stay below the global percentage, you receive a generous grant. If you are
above the global percentage, you incur a hefty fine.
Know the colors of the bars on the left side of your screen. The top bar
for each section is all red to show expenses. The bottom bar for each
section varies in color. A bar all blue shows the carbon emissions target
goal or the waste capacity of your continent. A bar green with yellow
indicates that the green meets the needs of your continent and the yellow
is surplus capacity. A bar red with yellow indicates that the red meets
the needs of your continent and the yellow is surplus capacity (found
for garbage). A bar all orange or yellow shows a lack of capacity to
meet demand.
Each continent has its own challenges. There are a limited supply of
natural resources (coal, gas, oil, gold, diamond, metal ore, uranium, fish)
as well as building placement for each continent. You will need to
demolish structures to make room for new ones.
Throughout the game, there will be natural disasters that will request
your attention. Should you send aid, the continent leader will gain favor
toward you, which will improve your diplomacy at the World Summit. You
may click on the SEND AID button as long as the disaster screen is
available and repeated clicks will continue to deplete your funds.
Building over a forest lowers your popularity. Trees and popularity are
replenished should you demolish a structure that inhabits a forest.
At the end of each year, you can choose to enact political laws in the
politics screen. Almost all of the laws and programs listed are
beneficial and will boost your popularity.
You can import or export the four non-renewable energy sources (oil, gas,
coal, uranium) food, water, and power at the trading screen found at the
end of each year of gameplay. The precious metals (gold, diamond, metal
ore) are automatically sold and added to your funds.
A good indicator of your progress is to view the graphs to compare your
continent to the other continents. Also looking at structures on other
continents should tell you whether you are at a good pace to reduce
your carbon footprint. This is what I did when I consistently lost
within the first five years of the game.
You can stop the Earth from spinning by clicking on the build button.
The Earth stops so you can place new structures.
Right-clicking on a structure on your continent will show information
about its contributions. You are also able to deactivate a structure to
save on costs or demolish it altogether to clear the land.
If you are unsure of the effects of a new structure in your continent, place
it on your continent and observe the changes of the bars. If you do not like
the results, you can easily demolish the structure with no consequence.
In the trade panel, you can import or export commodities. The percentage
on each commodity's pie chart represents how much of the deficit or surplus
is being removed. So a 100% trade of a surplus would mean that there is no
more surplus, but still enough of the commodity for your own continent.
In the policies and research panels, the rightmost bar next to the light
bulb icon shows you whether you have enough funds to enact the policy.
If there is any green at all, you can go ahead and check it off.
In the trade panel, the colors of the waste bar are inaccurate. When
you can import waste and make money, the bar is yellow and red, showing
a deficit of waste facilities.
Before building a non-renewable power station, check the mining situation
to see if, where, and how many spaces are available. The number of
available mines determines whether it is worth building a power station
using that resource.
Surpluses and deficits carry over into the next year. The savings add
up when keeping a little surplus every year.
Based on population growth, South Asia is the hardest continent to manage
followed by North America.
I got to the year 2069 with South Asia before completely depleting my
popularity and money.
Need to increase your popularity? Build one of the following: recycling
plant, water treatment plant, national park, biosphere, artificial trees, and
garbage plasma reactor.
Any changes to power and waste made in the trade screen will be reflected in
the new year.
When either your power, food, or water supply fills the entire bar, you need
no longer worry about that resource depleting.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4) How to Start Off:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before playing on your own, definitely follow the tutorial and read the
manual found once you open the program and before you start the game.
The most common rookie mistakes are to lack money and/or popularity in the
early years. Knowing how to generate money and popularity will get you past
the initial challenge and into ecological paradise.
Your popularity will not dip too low if you build a surplus of water treatment
plants and recycling centers.
Start off with coal power stations, but do not build more than needed to
power your continent.
You need to build up some funds, so building some industry structures early on
will keep a steady flow of income to use for research and policies.
You can also raise funds through the exportation of coal, gas, and oil.
Build some land-based and offshore mines and wells even if you do not need
them. You can sell them at the trade screen at the end of each year to
bring in revenue. Building extra structures for waste management will allow
you to import garbage and bring in more revenue as well.
By the end of each turn, make sure you do not leave a deficit in power,
water, food, or waste as they will lower your popularity. All bars should
contain green in this status.
Of all the properties listed on the left side statistics, power is the most
important category not to neglect. Doing so will result in a blackout which
will cost you money anyway.
In the early years, research a national park under industry. It will greatly
boost your popularity, bring you income, and cleanse the air. There are not
too many locations on each continent to place national parks, so locate them
and place them down on as many locations as possible.
Once you have some excess money, start researching as much as possible. One
research leads to another, so the sooner you start researching, the sooner
you will get the energy efficient structures.
Get offshore mining early to open up more land.
Within 5 to 10 years, you should be making a sizable amount of money and
maintaining good popularity.
CHEAT - Coal, oil, gas, and uranium can only be depleted by a power station.
You can export any of them and they will return the next year whether the
mines or wells are still operational. If you have a power station that
consumes a resource, only then will it deplete your supply. So you can make
a steady income with coal mines, oil wells, gas wells, and uranium mines.
Build them one year, then destroy them and see how they still exist in the
trade screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5) Attaining the Ideal Continent:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended Power Source Progression:
Coal/Oil -> Photovoltaic/Wave/Wind (if needed) ->
Hydroelectric/Geothermal/Tidal
As the population increases in the mid 21st century, you will have to either
pay to export and import what you need to stay afloat or find room for more
power stations, water treatment plants, recycling centers, and biospheres.
If you cannot place one of these on a space, definitely place the next best
alternative structure there to make good use of the space (vertical farms
can be placed in locations where biospheres cannot).These will provide you
the most of each resource for the least amount of land and sea space. Any
other available space should be used for artificial trees and national parks.
The water should contain only tidal power generators as they are the most
efficient use of space. It will get more and more difficult to contain the
CO2 emissions as the population increases and available room decreases.
I do not know if it is possible to outlast the population growth and survive
to the 22nd century with the way the game is programmed.

Want to increase the difficulty? I present to you some challenges:
Intermediate: Fully develop all research and development projects before
2059.
Expert: Research everything when available by 2053 (only possible without
skipping a year of research).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6) Inconsistencies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game has some inconsistencies that will confuse you.
Some of the disasters do not make sense when compared to the current status
of all continents in play. For example, I played as North America and there
was a nuclear meltdown in North America even without having one nuclear
power station in the entire world at the time.
During the Eco-Summit, you are asked to set a goal for the next 10 years
despite attending the Eco-Summit every 5 years.
The CO2 bars in the world summit screen do not match up to the CO2 bars of
the main screen. Even if the target CO2 level you set is lower than your
current levels, it may not be so when you return to your continent. You
should only be concerned about your continent's CO2 level from the main
screen.
On the popularity and population charts, the colors designated for Africa
and North Asia are swapped from the bar graph to the line graph. Africa
has a blue bar graph and a green line graph while North Asia has a green
bar graph and a blue line graph.
The stats for each structure may vary when placed on your continent
compared to the pre-purchase listing. This is true for the wood mill and
the diamond, gold, and metal ore mines.
Almost all structures with some carbon dioxide emission lower your
popularity. An exception is water treatment plants.
Almost all structures that clean carbon dioxide from the air raise your
popularity. An exception is agriculture structures which include farms
and fishing trawlers.
Many of the projects in Research & Development aim to increase efficiency of
structures, but the bar units of the structures does not seem to reflect
any immediate change to efficiency once the projects are completed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7) List of All Structures
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
List of All Structures - if a property is not mentioned in the description
(Power, Pollution, Water, Money, Food), it appears in the game as 0. Each
section is ordered by what I feel balances either power, water, or money
with pollution. Even if a structure that emits more pollution is higher up
on the list, the pollution can be neutralized with a different structure.

8) Politics:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The policies available in the politics screen affect your popularity. They
do not affect the availability of projects in the Research & Development
screen. It is not known which policies have the greatest effect, but as most
of them are cheap and quick to enact, you should check off as many as
financially feasible.
