Optional Research Labs

Access optional Research Labs in Routine using a Research Access Card or environmental puzzles. Find prototypes and data logs in these hidden sectors.

Certain sectors of the station contain optional research labs or experimental facilities that are not directly tied to the main objective. Accessing these areas often requires a specific 'Research Access Card' or solving a more complex environmental puzzle. Inside, you might find advanced prototypes, unique data logs detailing experimental procedures, or even alternative pathways that can bypass more dangerous sections of the main route. These labs often present their own unique challenges, such as malfunctioning security systems or environmental hazards. Exploring them is a risk-reward scenario; the resources and lore gained can be significant, but the dangers are equally present. These areas are excellent for players who want to fully explore the station and uncover every secret it holds.
