Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The Biolab is an upgraded version of the lab that is unlocked by researching the Biolab technology using Agricultural science pack from Gleba. It boasts a number of advantages over the standard lab:

• Biolabs have a built-in speed bonus, meaning Science packs are consumed faster (effectively a 100% speed bonus)
• Biolabs consume fewer Science packs for the same payoff in research (effectively a 100% productivity bonus)
• Biolabs have four module slots instead of two.
• Biolabs are larger (5x5) and have more health.

It features minimal disadvantages:

• They are more complicated to create, involving Biter eggs which require Bioflux to acquire.
• They may only built on Nauvis.
• They use more power and pollute more.

The speed bonus granted from lab research speed multiplies with the Biolab's increased speed.
