Research Lab upgrade costs
What it raises
Upgrades to Research Lab are gated behind Sanctuary levels 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 — the run will not start until the Sanctuary is there first.
Cost a run on Research Lab
Every level in between, added up — with the build time and the Sanctuary level the run is gated behind, which is the part a resource total on its own will not tell you.

On the precision of these figures
The game displays costs rounded to four significant figures. A level that reads 16.67M is somewhere between 16.665M and 16.675M, and a total across many levels carries every one of those roundings with it. We print what the game printed rather than a false precision of our own.
