⚠️ 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 Sawmill is a crafting station for processing logs into lumber, a foundational building material used to construct tier-1 rooms and advanced workstations. It must be placed in an enclosed room with at least 68 m³ of free volume and a room tier of 2 (achieved with lumber, planks, or mortared stone walls and proper doors/windows). Stocking lumber and planks in a store early is one of the highest-leverage actions a town can take, as it lets any player immediately build tier-1 housing and accelerate everyone's skill-point gain.
