⚠️ 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 Paint Mixer is a crafting station for producing paints, inks, and books such as the Painting Upgrade. It must be placed in an enclosed room of at least tier 2 (requiring brick or similar materials) with 24 cubic meters of free volume. Before building it, ensure your workshop meets both the material tier and room size requirements—this makes it a useful addition to a community crafting area for decorative and research items.
