Building Modern Age

Research Lab

Scientists push the boundaries of what is possible.

In your city

The Research Lab unlocks in the Modern Age. With its workers in place it makes 192 knowledge per minute. It employs 10 workers. Its upkeep is 9 gold per minute; with an empty treasury it runs at half strength.

Upgrades

Once it is finished, tap it and choose Upgrade to raise it a level, up to level 3. You pay up front; the work then takes a while, shown by the same bar as construction, and the Research Lab keeps working at its old level meanwhile. From level 2 it wears its level on an enamel house-number plate. How upgrades work.
