The '''Biolab''' is an upgraded, biological version of the [[lab]] which can be unlocked on [[Gleba]]{{SA}}. It has significantly faster research speed. It has the unique feature of only consuming ''half'' of the [[science pack]]s needed for any given technology. Unlike labs, biolabs can only be built on [[Nauvis]].

The biolab also doubles the speed bonus granted from [[lab research speed (research)|lab research speed]] for itself.
* Biolabs have a built-in speed bonus, meaning [[Science pack]]s 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 egg]]s 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 (research)|lab research speed]] multiplies with the Biolab's increased speed.

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.
