⚠️ 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 Solar Generator is a clean electric power source that converts sunlight into electricity, providing an eco-friendly alternative to combustion generators that emit pollution. It requires a clear view of the sky above its 6x4x7 footprint to achieve full daytime output, and its internal batteries allow it to continue supplying power through the night and during overcast weather. For best results, place the generator in an open area away from tall structures, trees, or terrain that could block sunlight.
