Laboratories
From Outscape Wiki
(Redirected from Laboratory Research Center)Laboratories carry out your empire's scientific research and development programs.
- Constructing additional laboratories increases science power (which reduces the time it takes to research items in the technology tree)
- Before laboratories can be built the relevant technology needs to be researched
- The greater the Civilisations Science power the faster new ship design blueprints will be drafted.

Research
Level 1, 2 and 3 laboratories each need to be unlocked separately by researching the relevant technology (see 'Research to unlock' in the table above).
Constructing and upgrading
- Level 1 laboratories can be constructed directly
- Level 2 laboratories can be built only by upgrading a level 1 laboratory
- Level 3 laboratories can be built only by upgrading a level 2 laboratory
