⚠️ 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

Taro Root is a raw root vegetable harvested from taro plants. It provides carbohydrates and a small amount of protein and vitamins, but its low fat and vitamin content makes it poorly balanced for nutrition on its own, which limits its contribution to your skill-point gain multiplier. Its primary value lies in being cooked into dishes such as Baked Taro or Fried Taro, or used in crafting research papers like Agriculture Research Paper Basic. For best results, use taro as a component of a varied diet or cook it to improve its nutrient profile and support faster XP earnings.
