⚠️ 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 Geology Research Paper Advanced is a higher-tier research document used at the Research Table to craft advanced skill books—such as Advanced Masonry, Smelting, and Oil Drilling—as well as the Basic Upgrade 4 module. It is itself produced through a dedicated recipe, meaning a player with the relevant geology specialty must craft it for the rest of the town to use. Stocking a few copies early lets multiple players unlock key mid-game specialties quickly, accelerating everyone's progression.
