Product Lab
The Product Lab is where you manufacture the key resource of the game: Products. These are used to train thugs, hire mercenaries, and invest in certain advanced operations. The Product Lab generates products over time, and like any building, it can be upgraded to increase its production rate and storage capacity.
Only one thug can be directly assigned to guard the Product Lab, making it a vulnerable target during raids. It’s important to assign a strong, well-trained thug here and support the lab with nearby defensive structures or additional troops in neighboring buildings. Keeping your Product Lab active and protected ensures a continuous flow of resources needed to keep your army battle-ready.
Product Collection
Once the Product Lab has produced a certain amount of product, you must collect it manually to transfer it to your Product Depot. If your lab is attacked before collection, you risk losing the uncollected products. Always keep an eye on production timers and collect at regular intervals to avoid wasting resources.
Assigning a thug to the lab not only protects the facility but also helps ensure your production completes without interruption. The more efficiently you manage production and collection, the faster you can scale up your combat forces and upgrades.
Use of Products
Products are used in a wide variety of gameplay functions. Every time you train a thug, hire a mercenary, or initiate an upgrade, you're spending product. The cost increases as the unit or upgrade becomes more advanced, which means your product management strategy becomes more important the deeper you get into the game.
They also power features like the Trap House (investment) and are essential for upgrading units in Workshops. Maintaining a consistent supply of products ensures you can always afford to expand your army, defend your territory, and respond to new challenges.
