⚠️ 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.

Treasury Component

Treasury Component

Allows citizens holding an Elected Title with tax permission to set taxes and select the World Default Currency.

The Treasury Component allows Elected Titles that have been granted the right to 'Set Taxes at the Treasury' to adjust the tax rate and select the World Default Currency.

Taxes

After Taxes are set in the Treasury Component, they are automatically applied to all relevant transactions. All revenue goes into the Treasury Bank Account. Elected titles that have the setting 'Government Banking Privileges' can transact directly from the Treasury account (allowing selection of the account within the Credit Component). Money can also come out of the treasury via Laws that make payments to citizens.

World Default Currency

The World Default Currency is the default Currency used when placing a new object that contains the Credit Component. Citizens can still choose to use any currency in a Trade, but having a World Default Currency makes it is easier to establish an economy with a common currency.

Direct Taxes

Elected Titles with rights to 'Set Taxes at the Treasury' can tax or allocate funds directly from citizens. This is done through managing the desired currency and selecting which citizens the action will apply to. An elected title must always give a reason why they are performing this action that is displayed to all citizens.
Treasury management also includes the option to dump currency from the Treasury account. This will remove the currency permanently, so be careful when using this ability on backed currencies.
