⚠️ 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

Charred Meat is a basic cooked food produced from various animal carcasses at a Campfire. It provides a modest calorie fill of 400 but offers only 15 total nutrients (5 protein, 10 fat) with no vitamins, making it a poor choice for maximizing the XP/skill-gain multiplier; its unbalanced nutrition profile limits the balance bonus. Early on it serves as a quick calorie source or crafting ingredient for Meaty Stew, but players should prioritize more varied, high-tier foods once better cooking options become available.
