Lab
A research building that turns the current research feed into unlock progress.
A lab should follow a named research target; an idle lab does not advance a plan without the corresponding science input.
When it fits: Add it when the next technology is the project and its science supply is mapped.
The tradeoff: One source recipe run makes 1 and lists 8 Chip, 4 Wire at Assembler I / Assembler II / Assembler III / Assembler IV / Assembler V; 1 recipe variant(s) for this output are grouped together. Verify access where the pack is incomplete. The building's one-time material cost is separate from science production, transport and its operating power.
Remakes Lab graphics; the release also changes visual daylight while retaining logical daylight for solar generation.
