⚠️ 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 Cooking Upgrade is an Advanced Efficiency Module that reduces both resource cost and craft time for all Cooking recipes at the station where it is installed. As an Advanced module, it requires the crafting station to be placed inside a room of sufficient tier (tier-1 or higher) to be equipped. Using this upgrade on a cooking station is a direct way to save materials and speed up food production, supporting faster skill-point gain through a better diet.
