⚠️ 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 Grindstone is a Tier 2 crafting station used for repairing tools and forging iron hand tools such as the Iron Pickaxe, Iron Axe, and Iron Sickle. To function, it must be placed inside an enclosed room with at least 18 m³ of free volume and built from Tier 2 materials (e.g., bricks). Having the related smithing specialty reduces the labor and resource cost of crafting these tools, so assign a specialist to operate it for efficiency.
