Research Laboratory

What it does

Voert planetaire onderzoeksprogramma's uit en verkort de tijd voor technologie-upgrades.

Laboratoria openen technologieën, schepen en strategische opties. Een te laag laboratorium maakt een sterk rijk traag.

What it enables

Ontgrendelt aandrijvingen, wapens, economische technologie, spionage en geavanceerde eenheden.

Cost for level 1

Building time depends on the planet’s Robotics Factory and Nanite Factory levels and on the universe speed, so it is not a fixed number.

Cost per level

Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.

Requirements

None — available from the start, with no research or building gate.

What it unlocks

How each race builds it

The four races share the same building rules but not the same hardware — each one names and renders it differently, and applies its own combat multipliers from its race profile.

Terran Research Laboratory

Terran Directorate

Standard Directorate infrastructure with broad operational reliability.

Resonance Observatory

Auralith Concord

Tunes crystal lattices into research harmonics.

Gene Memory Pit

Varkesh Brood

Organic infrastructure grown from biomass, nerve clusters and hardened carapace.

Logic Core

Synthera Assembly

Machine infrastructure built from modular processors, forges and self-checking control loops.
