Economy
An economy thriving with trade is essential to developing the technology needed to stop the meteor.
⚠️ 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.

🌱 Local AI
The descriptive prose on this wiki is written by a large language model — but it runs entirely on local, self-hosted hardware: a Gemma 4 E4B model on a single NVIDIA RTX 4070 in a home Unraid server.
Nothing you read here was generated by a commercial cloud API. No visitor data is collected, sent off-box, or sold. The game data itself is pulled live from the Eco server; the AI only fills in flavor and gap text.
This wiki is one face of a larger Eco mod: Solomon, an in-world AI steward that runs the server's economy, posts help contracts, keeps a store, and answers players. The wiki reads the same live game registries and tools Solomon does — so the numbers stay true to the running world. Read more about the project →
