Description
The research laboratory is the development center of your company and is one of the 3 main buildings.
Like the company headquarters and the company administration, it can only be built on the home field.
In order to be able to produce equipment and raw materials, you must first research the manufacturing techniques in the research laboratory.
Which equipment and fuels can be researched depends on the expansion stage of the laboratory (see "Techtree")
Development orders
- Equipment of classes A-C (displayed here as levels 1-3), which can then be manufactured in the “factory” itself, * fuels that can be refined from crude oil, such as kerosene, diesel and petrol, which can then be produced in the refinery
Requirements: * sufficient liquid funds * Scientists hired * Expansion of building levels for research laboratory
Equipment/fuels that can be researched are displayed in the status bar, as are the equipment class, the costs and the duration of the process.
The development orders must be placed one after the other; simultaneous research is not possible.
In order to conduct research, you hire scientists in the "Accommodation (Employee Administration)".
As with all buildings that require employees, you have to make sure that you don't hire too many, but also not too few workers in order to achieve optimal research time!
Researched equipment can be produced in the Factory... Researched Fuels can be converted from crude oil in the Refinery.
Warning:
* Hiring scientists, especially a lot of them, does not speed up research! A healthy number is around 30. * Hiring scientists has no influence on the drying up and discovery of sources on your oil sources!
- The research documents for your equipment can be stolen through sabotage! Therefore, always make sure you have sufficient security guards!
