Research Lab Guide

Research is one of the most important sources of long-term progression in Last Asylum: Plague. All of this is completed inside of the Research Lab building.

Heroes, troops, and buildings can provide immediate power, but completed technologies grant permanent bonuses that continue supporting your account as it grows. Research can improve construction, resource production, heroes, troops, squads, caravans, and competitive activities. Because its benefits reach multiple systems, keeping the Research Lab active is one of the most reliable ways to build Might and improve overall efficiency.
