Sugar Gnome Laboratory |
The Sugar Gnome Laboratory is a building in the Kingdom where Sugar Gnomes can be sent to research various topics. It is unlocked when a player's Cookie Castle reaches Lv. 5. Completing research gives the player various overarching perks such as faster material production and increased stats for Cookies. It was designed by and is the home of the Maestro Sugar Gnome.
It containes two technology trees: Kingdom Technologies and Cookie Technologies. Researching Kingdom Technologies improves the efficiency of the Kingdom's economy ands grants quality-of-life improvements, while Cookie Technologies allow Cookies' stats to be improved and makes one's adventure easier.
Researching Technologies
There are many technologies to research with two main paths: Kingdom Technologies and Cookie Technologies. All technologies (both Kingdom and Cookies Technologies) require at least one (1) Sugar Gnome and cost a particular amount of Coins and other materials, requiring goods from the Smithy at earlier levels and Rarities at later levels. Only one technology can be researched at a time.
Technologies conserving production or construction time will reduce the values up to the decimal point, but the number displayed will be rounded up or down depending on the technology.
