⚠️ 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

A sturdy iron wheel component that supports heavier vehicles and machinery than its wooden counterpart, used in crafting several advanced vehicles (Powered Cart, Steam Tractor, Steam Truck) and industrial machines (Crane, Lathe, Electric Lathe). As a key intermediate part, ensuring a steady supply of iron wheels is essential when transitioning from basic wooden wheels to powered logistics and higher-tier crafting stations.
