Summary
SUMMARY: Content "Adds a smaller surface research facility, ostensibly for infectious disease research"
Purpose of change
The current research facility, one of my larger projects, is pretty good IMO, but was never meant to be the only type of surface lab facility. As a huge facility it should be relatively rare, but there's nothing else currently occupying its niche.
Describe the solution
Adds a smaller research facility, with a 2x3 overmap footprint, a main building, and a small outbuilding. The new facility is designed to look like a facility for researching infectious diseases, with the dangerous nature of the research explaining the high security.
The new building will feature animal holding cells and surgery suites as well as microbiology research facilities. It's less likely to contain as many general chemistry science tools, which will help increase the rarity of such tools going forward.

Testing
Testing as I go. Here is a WIP image of the current footprint of the building:
Added some labs and a lunchroom:
Additional context
This will serve as the test point to work on a new type of underground secret lab once I'm done, but I can release it as an entrance to the existing labs first.
