Game Building
StarCraft 2 Building
The Tech Lab is a Terran add-on introduced in Starcraft II which allows a building to produce higher-tech units. Unlike the original Starcraft, where each building had its own high-tech add-on, the Tech Lab is effective with all production buildings.
You can build either a Reactor or a tech lab for the Barracks, the Factory and the Starport.
All these buildings can lift-off to swap positions to use either the tech lab or the reactor depending on the need or strategy at the moment.
Upgrades
The Tech Lab will benefit from the Building Armor upgrade at the Engineering Bay, which raises its armor rating by 2.
Production
The Tech Lab, when attached to the appropriate building, enables the production of Marauders, Reapers and Ghosts at the Barracks, Siege Tanks and Thors at the Factory, Ravens, Banshees and Battlecruisers at the Starport.
Research
Moreover, the Tech Lab can research hi-tech upgrades for the units produced at the facility it is attached to. Depending on this fact, the following upgrades will be available for research accordingly.
Barracks Tech Lab
- Research Combat Shield. Marines gains +10 hitpoints.
- Research Stimpack. Enables Marines and Marauders to use the Stimpack ability.
- Research Nitro Packs. Increases the movement speed of Reapers.
Factory Tech Lab
- Research Infernal Pre-Igniter. Hellion's flame thrower gains +10 vs Light.
- Research Siege Tech. Enables Siege Tanks to deploy into Siege Mode.
Starport Tech Lab
- Research Caduceus Reactor. Increases the starting energy of Medivacs by 25.
- Research Cloaking Field. Enables Banshees to use the Cloak ability.
- Research Corvid Reactor. Increases the starting energy of Ravens by 25.
- Research Durable Materials. Extends the timed duration of Raven Auto Turrets, Seeker Missiles and Point Defense Drones.
- Research Seeker Missile. Enables Ravens to use the Seeker Missile ability.
