⚠️ 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 Small Paper Machine is a placed crafting station for producing paper and related items, including the Paper Milling Upgrade and paper lanterns. It requires a room of at least Tier 3 with 18 m³ of free volume, so you will need a well-constructed building made from high-tier materials (e.g., bricks or better) before you can install it. This station is a mid-game upgrade from simpler paper-making methods, as its higher room requirement reflects the need for advanced infrastructure to operate efficiently.
