⚠️ 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 Modern Axe is a tier-4 logging tool crafted from fiberglass and advanced materials, offering high durability (5000 uses) and damage (2.5) for efficient tree felling. It trains the Logging specialty, making it ideal for players specializing in that profession. A practical tip: as its high durability and low calorie-per-use ratio (20 calories) reduce downtime, it is a worthwhile upgrade from earlier axes for dedicated loggers.
