BURG.L is a friendly robot found in the Oak Lab. He was created by Ominent and serves as Acting Science Manager for Ominent's project. There were research chips within his CPU, until they were lost and scattered throughout the backyard. Returning these chips expands BURG.L's purchasable Science Shop inventory. He also provides a variety of tasks via using the ASL Terminal, as well as access to the Science Shop.

ASL Terminal[]

The ASL Terminal allows for direct contact with BURG.L from Field Stations and other places. It becomes available after using the Biometric Scanner in the Oak Lab. It provides access to quests, a shop that expands from Tech Chips, and Milk Molar Infusion. The player still needs to return Tech Chips directly to BURG.L.

Tech Chip Science Shop[]

BURG.Ls Tech Chip Science Shop is where the player can purchase new crafting recipes and upgrades in exchange for Raw Science. This list is ordered by natural progression through the game.
