⚠️ 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 Remote Detonator is a tier 4 tool that allows players to safely trigger linked Mining Charges from a distance. Each detonation consumes 5 calories and reduces the item's durability by 1 out of its 500 maximum uses, while simultaneously training the Mining skill. Because it weighs 1000 grams and does not stack, it requires a dedicated inventory or toolbelt slot, though it can eventually be recycled via the Scrap Tool recipe when no longer needed.
