⚠️ 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 Gathering Basic Upgrade is an efficiency module that reduces the resource cost and craft time of gathering-related recipes when installed in a compatible crafting station. It belongs to the Basic Upgrade tier, making it suitable for early-game stations where no higher-tier room is required for placement. For best results, install it on a station you use frequently for gathering tasks, such as a workbench or sawmill, to save materials and labor over many crafts.
