Laboratory

Laboratory
Details
Laboratories employ scientists
Require:	Chemistry
Construction:	Frame, Glass
Consumes:	Bottles
Produces:	Chemicals, Knowledge
Stores:	Chemicals
Other:	toggles on/off
Category:	Buildings

A place for scientists to work

You can construct and toggle a Laboratory, on Buildings.

• Laboratories have a requirement to access and require some resources to construct.
• Laboratories stores Chemicals and consume Bottles for productiom.

Access

Laboratory appears, on Buildings, after you research Chemistry on Technologies.

• You can build Laboratories, after you research Chemistry.
• Chemistry has a requirement to access and research.

Technology required:
Technology	Requirement	Research cost
Chemistry	invest 4 500 Knowledge in Science	Bottle	50
		Knowledge	1 000

Construction

Laboratory on Buildings

You can build a Laboratory, on Buildings, after you research the required technology.

• You need 5 Frame and 20 Glass, to build your first Laboratory.
• You need 40% more resources, each time you build another one.

Example costs:
Current Laboratories	Frame	Glass
0	5	20
1	7	28
2	9.8	39.2
3	13.72	54.88
...	...	...
n	5 × 1.4n	20 × 1.4n

Consumption

• Active Laboratories require 0.001 Bottles per second, for each Scientist.

You can toggle Laboratories, to be active or to stop consumption, with the 'Toggle' button. Active Laboratories stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources consumed:
Consumes	Rate
Bottles per Scientist	0.001 per second

Production

• Active Laboratories produce Chemicals and Knowledge, by your Scientists.

You can toggle Laboratories, to be active or to stop production, with the 'Toggle' button. Active Laboratories stop production, if you do not have resources to maintain them.

Resources produced:
Produces	Rate
Chemicals per Scientist	0.001 per second
Knowledge per Scientist	0.005 per second

• Other factors increment Chemicals production and increment Knowledge production

Storage

• Each Laboratory, you build on Buildings, provides storage for Chemicals.

Storage provided:
Item	Amount
Chemicals	5

• Other factors increment storage.

Other

• Your available Chemicals, storage capacity, production rate and any bonuses to production, displays after you build a Laboratory.
