XCOM 2/Laboratory



The Laboratory is a facility that XCOM can construct in any room in the avenger. It provides staffing slots which, when filled with scientists, increase XCOM's research speed. Each scientist staffed in a laboratory provides two scientists worth of research speed. Therefore, an unupgraded laboratory is equivalent to one extra scientist of research speed, and an upgraded laboratory is equivalent to two scientists of research speed.

If XCOM has unlocked the pursuit of knowledge continent bonus and has a laboratory, all research is 20% faster. This does not apply to breakthroughs.

No more than one laboratory may be constructed at a time.

Construction and Effects
The laboratory has no technology requirement.
