⚠️ 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.

Mint Component

Mint Component

Allows citizens to create and print backed currencies.

The Mint Component allows citizens to create Currencies which are backed by a resource.

When creating a currency at a MintItem, a backing item is chosen, as well as an amount of Coins per Item that are generated from each item consumed. By using a backing item for currency, the total possible amount of currency can be limited to the number of items contributed, thus providing more stability as it becomes harder to flood the market with new currency. The choice in backing item will affect this, with more rare items generally providing more stability by being harder to obtain.

The backing material and coins per item are permanent, so be careful when deciding how to back a currency. Once a currency is minted, it will become tied to the mint it was created on, even if that mint is picked up.

Citizens who have been granted consumer rights in the Authorization Component can use the Mint Component to mint additional currency. Currency can be minted into the target Bank Account selected by the mint owner, or any bank account the citizen minting has access to in the Bank Component.
