This facility houses a battery of obscenely-expensive, powerful computers, allowing us to crunch megatons of numbers. It can be used to conduct hacking, and gives workspace for 4 extra Brainers, as well as allows to build Personal Labs. This extra brainpower may come in handy, as the facility is required (along with a Library and Personal Labs) to pursue the 'Higher Studies' research project, that'll allow us to unlock even higher technologies, but is likely to be extremely slow to complete.
Constructing this facility requires 20 Slave AIs. Only one per Hideout allowed. Hideout must have a Power Station.
