Work in progress! This mod is far from complete and at this time I can't say it is broadly compatible with other mods. Don't be mad at me if it crashes, I'm not getting paid for this you know!

This mod will greatly challenge your late-meta-game. Science packs require more ingredients and you have an assortment of labs to choose from, each with unique pros and cons.

1) Science packs require previous packs as ingredients.

2) The science lab has been nerfed

It can no longer be repaired and you must manually add science pack.

{"placeable-player", "player-creation", "not-repairable", "no-automated-item-insertion"}

3) A suite of labs+, each with additional requirements.
