⚠️ 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.

Settlement Property

Settlement Property

As more Citizens join a Settlement, more Property can be claimed, using Claim Stakes and Claim Papers associated with the settlement.

The settlement will spawn these objects based on their level, with claim stakes of TownClaimStakeItem, CountryClaimStakeItem, FederationClaimStakeItem varieties. These will claim property in the name of the settlement they are associated with, and can be powered-up with ClaimPaperItem to claim more plots, by placing them in the inventory of the claim stake.

If Citizens leave, the max number of Claim Papers and Stakes allowed will reduce and be removed from the Settlement Foundation inventory. If they're all in use and not available to be returned, a Property Crisis will occur.

Homestead Support Claims

Settlements will also spawn Homestead Support Claims which can be given or sold to non-citizens. These claims will allow homesteads that have no settlement associated with them to claim more plots, anywhere in the map. Typically, farmers in far-off, isolated regions who want to have larger farms will seek these out (trading food or labor) from towns around the world. They represent support from a settlement applied to outside property protection.
