⚠️ 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 Short Steel Shelf is a tier-1 housing decoration that provides 1.5 housing value when placed in an enclosed room with at least 4 m³ free volume. As a Furniture item, it contributes to your room’s housing score, which boosts your XP multiplier—but remember that placing many identical shelves yields diminishing returns, so mix in a variety of furniture pieces for the best benefit. Its 1x1x1 footprint and table surface make it a compact, usable surface for holding items or additional decor.
