⚠️ 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

Sugar is a refined ingredient that provides only carbohydrates (15 carbs, 50 calories) and no protein, fat, or vitamins, making it highly unbalanced for direct consumption. While edible on its own, eating sugar plain wastes the opportunity for efficient skill gain, since a balanced diet is critical for maximizing the food XP bonus. Its real value lies as a component in advanced recipes like doughs, sauces, and baked goods, where it helps create the varied, nutritious meals that boost progression.
