⚠️ 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

Giant Cactus Fruit is a raw food harvested from Saguaro Cacti, offering 100 calories and a nutrient profile high in vitamins (4) but lacking protein, making it a decent early-game vitamin source. For optimal XP gain, pair it with a protein-rich food to balance its nutrients, and consider cooking it into dishes like Charred Cactus Fruit or Fruit Muffin to improve its usefulness. It can also be composted or planted as a crop.
