Science Labs are research buildings in Tropico 5. Scientists work in these buildings to conduct various kinds of experiments, producing research points as a result.
The Environmentalist and Religious factions oppose science labs; the former because they utilize animal testing and the latter because they challenge religious dogma.
Description[]
An indoor playground full of rats, cheese, guinea pigs, cool looking liquids and bored smart people trying to devise new ways to play with them.
Upgrades[]
- Extreme Testing: For $4,500, the lab can test newly-made electronics to ensure their function, increasing effectiveness by 20 for each nearby Electronics Factory (to a maximum of 60).
- Small Hadron Collider: For $3,600 and 100 MW, the lab can install a small hadron collider to collide particles for physics, increasing effectiveness by 50.
