Welcome to a quick guide on the purpose of the laboratories.

Laboratories can be acquired from Doctors, at a market price of $1,000. They're used to craft multiple different items using ingredients gathered through various different professions.

Currently, you can make the following using the laboratory:

Poison Vials*
Health Kits

* We won't disclose the recipe for poison vials as this should be discovered IC.

To start out, place your laboratory down. Make sure you keep it safe though - if it takes enough damage, it will explode and start a fire!

The laboratory will only work if you use items and feed them into the laboratory. If they're just in your inventory, it won't see them.

Health Kits

For Health Kits, you'll need 1 Biomedical Enzyme (sold in batches of 5 by a Doctor, at a market cost of $1,000) and 1 Blood Clotting Agent (sold in batches of 5 by a Doctor, at a market cost of $300). For every one health kit produced through the laboratory, 15 minutes of production time is needed.

Saline

For Saline, you'll need 5 Water (sold in batches of 5 in the Marketplace, at a market cost of $75) and 5 Salt (sold in batches of 5 in the Marketplace, at a market cost of $225). For every 5 Saline produced through the laboratory, 10 minutes of production time is needed.

Tranq Coating (5)

For Tranq Coatings, you'll need 1 Sedative Vial (sold as a single item in the Marketplace (Misc), at a market cost of $5,000), 1 Biomedical Enzymes (sold in batches of 5 by a Doctor, at a market cost of $1,000) and 10 Saline. For every 5 Tranq Coatings produced through the laboratory, 10 minutes of production time is needed.

Tranq Coating (10)

For Tranq Coatings, you'll need 1 Poison Vial (you can produce this through a hidden recipe), 2 Biomedical Enzymes (sold in batches of 5 by a Doctor, at a market cost of $1,000) and 10 Saline. For every 10 Tranq Coatings produced through the laboratory, 10 minutes of production time is needed.

Tranq Coating (15)

For Tranq Coatings, you'll need 1 Medical Tranquilizer (you can find this stashed in lockers), 2 Biomedical Enzymes (sold in batches of 5 by a Doctor, at a market cost of $1,000) and 10 Saline. For every 15 Tranq Coatings produced through the laboratory, 10 minutes of production time is needed.

Use each of the items in the recipe so they end up being placed in front of you, and feed them into the laboratory. They should disappear. Once you've matched the requirements of the recipe, press E on the laboratory to start the process. You'll then hear a mechanical whirring sound, and if you press E on the laboratory again, it will confirm the laboratory is running. The blue glow outlining the laboratory will also disappear.

You can choose whether to input multiple ingredients - however only one item can be produced at a time. The laboratory will remember the ingredients for the next time round.

After the production time of the recipe has passed, the whirring sound will stop and the blue glow outlining the laboratory will reappear. This means the process has finished! Press E on the laboratory to claim the item you've just crafted.

As the laboratory has more recipes added, we'll continue to expand on this guide!
