Computer Lab

WorldObject

A place where you can sit all day and play video games! Or work on expert-level research.

Notes

The Computer Lab is a high-tier research station used for expert-level work, including the advanced calculations needed to coordinate meteor defense systems like the lasers. It must be placed in an enclosed room of at least Tier 4 with 45 m³ of free volume, so plan for high-quality construction materials and furnishings. If your server aims to stop the meteor, ensuring a Computer Lab is built and powered is a critical late-game milestone.
