Labs are buildings that perform research by consuming science packs. Use of a lab is required to progress in Factorio.

Tips & Tricks

Labs work fairly slow, so it is a good idea to have multiple labs working at the same time. Twenty labs running at once is the community standard, but more can be used. As a secondary strategy, once one's science packs production is automated they should try to get as many labs in a row as they can before the labs consume materials too quickly to be used.
