⚠️ 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

Plant Fibers are a versatile early-game resource gathered from a wide variety of wild plants such as Common Grass, Bullrush, and Arctic Willow. They serve as a basic fuel (100 fuel value) and are compostable, making them useful for both cooking fires and soil enrichment. Their primary role is as a crafting ingredient in many foundational items like Backpacks, Fishing Poles, Bows, and early clothing, so stockpiling a steady supply helps kickstart production and avoid delays.
