⚠️ 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.

Garbage

A disgusting pile of garbage. Unpleasant to the eye and a source of ground pollution. Bury underground to help mitigate the effect.

Notes

Garbage is a waste block produced by scrapping tools, emitting 0.8 ground pollution per block if left on the surface. Burying garbage underground helps mitigate its environmental effect, or it can be incinerated to dispose of it entirely. Because ground pollution lowers housing value and soil fertility, managing garbage properly is important for maintaining a healthy settlement and efficient skill progression.
