mlieHigh Tech Laboratory Facilities Mod redesigns RimWorld’s laboratory facilities with a more advanced high-tech look, replacing and expanding research-related assets while also adding lab coats, linked research stations, and a late-game powered combat exoskeleton.
High Tech Laboratory Facilities Mod Features
- Redesigned laboratory facilities: Adds new graphics for research-themed buildings, including replacements inspired by the vanilla hi-tech research bench and comms console.
- Laboratory-themed research items: Includes usable research facilities such as the Hi-Tech Research Bench, Laboratory Station, and Research Terminal.
- Research speed links: Usable research items now link with the MultiAnalyzer and with each other, granting +10% research speed per link.

- Lab coats: Adds tailor-made lab coats that slightly improve research skills.
- Advanced powered combat exoskeleton: Adds a late-game research project that unlocks plans for an advanced powered combat exoskeleton.
- Custom graphics: Includes custom artwork for the lab coats and exoskeleton.
- Apparel visibility option: Adds a setting to hide the apparel added by the mod.
- Updated bench coloring: Fixes the coloring of the benches added by the mod.
- Classic Plasteel color: Benches made from Plasteel now use the older bench color for players who preferred it.
The author notes that the mod was originally a personal project made to give RimWorld’s research facilities a less plain visual style. Some graphics, such as the ground-penetrating scanner, may not fully match the author’s original ideal design.
Compatibility notes
The High Tech Laboratory Facilities Mod includes a Russian translation thanks to Dmitry6. The original author has also mentioned that they are unlikely to continue updating the mod regularly.
A retexture mod by ThatBartGuy is also available for players who want an alternate visual style.
