Features

Insurance

All items a player loses in this location will be lost. The insurance purchased from any traders will fail, and no items will be recovered. When a player dies, the dealer will send a mail that they sent people to recover the items, but later the player receives mail stating that the location could not be found, his men don't go there, or worse, that their men never returned.

Announcer

Whenever an event of high importance happens inside The Lab, an announcement will be triggered. There is an announcement for every extraction besides the Ventilation shaft and the Sewage conduit.

The announcement for the parking extraction can be disabled using the Yellow keycard.
