⚠️ 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 Research Table is the gateway to unlocking new specialties for your serverโ€”it consumes research papers to produce skill books, which can then generate unlimited skill scrolls for other players. It must be placed in a properly enclosed room of at least Tier 1 quality and 18 cubic meters of free volume, so finish a basic house before trying to set one up. Because one skill book produces infinite scrolls, it is efficient for the researcher to craft and share the scrolls rather than each player trying to make their own.
