The Laboratory is located in Starlet Town and is currently run by the town's only marine biologist, Ling. It is also the place where Surya conducts his research. The town’s laboratory is open Sunday-Friday and is closed on Saturdays.
The player can come to Ling with bottled kelp essences to upgrade their seeds or fodder. The player can also purchase various items from the cash register.
Research lab upgrades
The Laboratory allows the player to purchase seed or fodder upgrades for gold and kelp essences. The research takes time, and only one upgrade can be bought at a time. Once the research is done, the player has to pick up the upgrade at the lab.
