⚠️ 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

Fried Fiddleheads are a cooked vegetable food item that provides 750 calories with a nutrient profile weighted heavily toward carbohydrates (11) over protein (3), fat (6), and vitamins (4). While its total nutrition contributes to your diet-based XP multiplier, its imbalance means eating it alone yields a lower balance bonus — pair it with protein- or vitamin-rich foods for a better rate. It is also a required ingredient for crafting Culinary Research Paper Basic, making it a key item for researchers advancing the culinary skill tree.
