O planeta pensa mais rápido.
Conduz os programas de pesquisa planetários e encurta os tempos de melhoria tecnológica.
Os laboratórios abrem tecnologias, naves e opções estratégicas. Um laboratório atrasado deixa um império forte lento.
Desbloqueia motores, armas, tecnologia econômica, espionagem e unidades avançadas.
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.
Each level multiplies the previous cost by ×2, so each further level gets steadily more expensive the further you push it.
| To level | Metal | Crystal | Deuterium |

| 2 | 400 | 800 | 400 |
| 5 | 3,200 | 6,400 | 3,200 |
| 10 | 102,400 | 204,800 | 102,400 |

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.
