⚠️ 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 Iron Machete is a tier 2 harvesting tool used to quickly clear plants, serving as a practical upgrade for players developing their Gathering specialty. Each swing consumes 17 calories and 1 point of its 1,000 maximum durability, while its minimal base damage and 0.2 animal damage multiplier make it highly inefficient for hunting or combat. Because it can eventually be recycled into a Scrap Tool, players should reserve it primarily for high-volume vegetation clearing to efficiently earn Gathering experience and sustain the server's raw material supply.
