Tech Lab

Terran Tech Lab

Description[]

The Tech Lab is a modular tech structure for Terran. It is produced at one of the player's Factories, or Starports. Though initially attached after construction, it can be re-attached to any of the Terran's other production structures (except for the Barracks, Command Center) by lifting the one that is attached and replacing it with another. Attached buildings gain new unit production options, and the Tech Lab can be used to research various technologies, depending on which type of structure is attached.
