⚠️ 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

Basic Upgrade 2 is a mid-tier efficiency module that reduces both the resource cost and craft time of work orders at any valid crafting station when installed in a module slot. It represents the second of five quality levels, with each level providing a modest improvement over the last, though total module benefit is capped at roughly 25% across all upgrades. As a Basic Upgrade, it can be placed in any room regardless of tier, making it a common step before advancing to the next tier of modules. It is also the ingredient used to craft Basic Upgrade 3, forming part of the upgrade chain.
