⚠️ 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 Screening Machine is a placed industrial object (3×3×4 footprint) used for dry concentration of iron ore, producing fewer and less harmful tailings than conventional wet processing. It can only concentrate iron, crafting **Concentrate Dry Iron** and **Sand Concentrate Lv2**, and also produces the **Mining Advanced Upgrade** module. Placing one early in your iron-processing chain reduces the environmental impact of tailings disposal while providing a direct source of a high-tier mining upgrade.
