⚠️ 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.

≈ base time for a fresh seed under perfect conditions. Real growth also depends on climate, soil, and fertilizer. Farming talents (seeding growth, fertilizer potency) can speed this up — effect varies, not shown as an exact number.

Target soil levels for this plant. Each number is the nutrient concentration (0–1 scale) to aim for: reach it and that nutrient fuels full-speed growth; below it growth scales down (half speed at half the value); more adds nothing. Raise nutrients by spreading fertilizer — see the Farming guide.

Best fertilizer: Hide Ash Fertilizer — richest in the Nitrogen this crop needs most.

Soil Moisture is the in-ground water the plant uses up — a soil resource scored like the nutrients above, and separate from the Rainfall climate band below (wetter ground / nearby water raises it).

Rainfall is a 0–1 scale. Outside the survivable band the plant won't grow or reproduce.
