Looking at some info on the mod, as long as they did not completely replace base game style research it should work with it, if they over rode it likely this mod would just not function, can probably tell if the UI for upgrades is still there where it shows totals like shooting speed, mining productivity, inserter stack size and so forth, if the mod works the effect and % would be shown there and lab productivity was added to the base game as a modifier to be used.
Without getting into downloading Mobile Factory and playtesting it looks as if it should work. Did you get some sort of error or something?
