Research Lab IV: Difference between revisions

Research Lab IV

Conducts more advanced research but requires a continuous supply of

Lab Equipment IV to operate. Additional labs increase research speed. If recycling technology is researched, the lab can return consumed products as

Recyclables.

Construction	300 + 96
Workers	80
Electricity	1 MW
Unity	-0.5 /month
Research Speed	48.0 / 60
Maintenance	8.1 / 60
Footprint	15x15*
Required Research	Research Lab IV
Boost by Unity	Not Available
Designation	Buildings
Variants	Research Lab (Basic) Research Lab I Research Lab II Research Lab III Research Lab IV

Research Lab IV is currently the final research building upgrade. Sort of. There's some kind of 'space research' thing with the space station that costs Electronics IV, but fortunately to do normal endgame research you only need Electronics III to make Lab Equipment IV. You'll need a Gold and Microchips processing area for that.

Recipes

Below are all the recipes which this building is capable of producing. Note that some of them may be locked behind Research and not immediately available in your game.
