Collective Theory Lab

Contents

Accessing the Collective Theory Lab

After any member of a legion has finished researching Hybrid Theory Dynamics, they will be allowed to construct the Collective Theory Lab, typically shortened to CT Lab, on their Legion Base.

As with other special structures, the CT Lab will unlock a new option in the 'Actions' tab when installed. Only members who have also finished researching Hybrid Theory Dynamics can use the Lab. Members must also be Loyal to use the CT Lab.

CT Lab Discoveries

The CT Lab allows the legion to research new discoveries. A discovery is a special blueprint/formula that allows lab-users to convert artifacts into newer, more powerful artifacts. Unlike normal research, discoveries are completely random and are intended to be a way for members to constantly spend research points after they have completed most of the tiers.

If a breakthrough is achieved, it will be added to the list of available options in the CT Lab permanently. If a CT Lab is destroyed, legion members lose access to CT Lab artifacts. However, if the CT Lab is subsequently rebuilt on the base, access to the previously discovered CT Lab artifacts is restored.

All discoveries are considered 'rare' and will typically be achieved in 1-2% of attempts. However, this chance becomes more difficult as further discoveries are made. Finding all of the available discoveries will be difficult and require attempts from many members. Attempting a discovery starts at 2000 Research points per attempt. Subsequent discovery attempts will cost more depending on how many discoveries have already been made.
