Lab

"The lab is the first tab you have access to. You unlock it by turning your starting potato into seeds. Within the lab there are two subcategories, research and DNA upgrades."

Research
Within this subcategory there is two options, "Research Seeds" and "Study your Potato".

The Research Seeds button takes one seed, but each time you do research a seed the required amount of seeds goes up by one and caps at 10. Once it reaches its cap a "Max" button is unlocked, which allows you to bulk research seeds.

Studying your potato requires that you have the highest tier of potato that you can get to be in your inventory and your seed count to be above 0 (to prevent soft-locking). It takes a total of 5 potato's to unlock the next tier of potato.

DNA upgrades
Within this subcategory there are two upgrades for you, Seeds per Potato and Growth Speed. The Seeds per Potato upgrade provides a boost for the amount of seeds you get for turning you potato into seeds (cal). The cost increases to x*1.15+1 where x is the current cost. The Growth Speed upgrade provides a boost to the Growth Speed of your potatoes (cal). the cost goes up by (cal)
