⚠️ 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 Cast Iron Stove is an advanced cooking station that doubles as a storage container and can be toggled on and off. It requires placement inside a Tier 3 enclosed room with at least 24 m³ of free volume, where it contributes 5 housing value to a Kitchen category room. At this station you can craft a wide variety of salads, fruit salads, and vegetable medleys โ€” key foods for balanced high-tier diets. Because the stove needs a Tier 3 room, ensure your housing uses lumber, planks, or mortared stone before placing it; it also later serves as a component for crafting a Powered Cart.
