The Laboratory is a building that allows you to create and activate Layouts, which temporarily boost the productivity of various processes, from resource extraction to completing orders.
How to get the Laboratory?
The Laboratory is available for purchase in the shop under the "Extra" tab.
How do Layouts work?
Layouts are temporary enhancements that improve the performance of factories, mines, warehouses, and other facilities. To create a Layout, you will need precious gems:
Topazes
Emeralds
Sapphires
You can obtain these gems in several ways:
- Sending trains — Filling train wagons can reward you with precious gems.
- Purchasing from the shop using Megabucks.
- Participating in events or promotions.
If you don’t have enough gems to create a Layout, the system will offer you the option to purchase the missing ones during the creation process. However, if you already own the Layout, no gems are required for activation.
Important limitations
- You can activate up to three different Layouts at the same time.
- You cannot activate two identical Layouts simultaneously.
- If a Layout is no longer needed, you can delete it to free up space for another.
Active Layouts are displayed on the right side of the game window, allowing you to monitor their status.
Why is the Laboratory important?
The Laboratory opens up new opportunities for managing your city by accelerating processes and improving efficiency. It serves as your strategic planning center, where you decide which enhancements to use to achieve maximum results.
Don’t forget to regularly use trains to replenish your stock of precious gems. Experiment with Layout combinations to find the best solutions for your tasks!
