⚠️ 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.

Iron Axe

Tool

A sturdy iron axe made for cutting down trees.

Weight1000 gMax stack1SkillBlacksmith Lv 1StationGrindstone

Notes

The Iron Axe is a tier 2 tool for felling trees, improving on stone-age axes with higher durability (1500 uses) and damage. Each swing consumes 20 calories and trains the Logging skill, which reduces the labor cost of woodcutting over time. When no longer needed, it can be recycled into a Scrap Tool, recovering some materials.
