⚠️ Eco v0.14 is coming — the next major update reworks upgrade modules, so some of these numbers will change. They reflect the current version. What’s changing →
  • Simpler tiers: the 1–4 tiered upgrades become a single Basic / Advanced / Modern upgrade each.
  • Permanent upgrades: a module placed in a workstation is permanent — no more swapping lower tiers out as you progress.
  • Power transitions: a module can change a station’s power type/draw (e.g. a Modern upgrade moves a sawmill from mechanical to electrical power).
  • Talent-integrated: modules now use the same bonus/talent system — any talent benefit (power, labor cost, recipe unlocks) can come from a module.
  • Cheaper to upgrade: with the multi-tier parts gone, fully upgrading a workstation costs significantly less.

We’ll update this calculator shortly after the update releases.

Notes

The **Advanced Upgrade 2** is a tier-2 efficiency module that fits into the upgrade slot of advanced crafting stations (those that require Advanced or Modern Upgrades) to reduce both resource consumption and craft time for work orders placed there. It is itself a component in crafting the next-tier Advanced Upgrade 3, so it serves as both a direct efficiency improvement and a stepping stone to higher-quality modules. For best results, install it in rooms of sufficient tier to unlock its full benefit, and consider stacking multiple upgrades (up to the module cap) to maximize your station's output.
