+ | There are 3 types of laboratories in Outpost 2. The basic lab the standard lab, and the advanced lab. The basic lab is not required on many maps. The advanced lab is sometimes referred to as a hot lab and will damage nearby units and buildings if destroyed. Advanced labs can spontaneously explode when damaged. | ||
