⚠️ 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 Machete is a tier‑4 harvesting tool with a large area‑of‑effect, ideal for quickly clearing dense plant growth. Each swing trains the Gathering skill, costs 10 calories and 1 durability, and the tool lasts for 4,000 uses. It has minimal animal damage (×0.2), so it is best reserved for vegetation work rather than combat. A practical tip: this machete is a major upgrade over earlier harvesting tools, and when it wears out it can be recycled into scrap at a Scrap Tool recipe.
