Official render of the Geological Center

The Geological Center is a building used by the Rock Raiders for scanning the surrounding area for hidden caverns and precious Energy Crystal and Ore Seams. Like most Rock Raiders buildings, it did not appear in any LEGO sets, though its radar is identical to the one on the Chrome Crusher in the set 4970 Chrome Crusher.

In the Windows game

In the Windows version of LEGO Rock Raiders, the Geological Center is one of the four buildings unlocked upon upgrading the Power Station. It takes up a 2x1 space, with construction blocks in the center and to the front. Once it becomes powered, it immediately begins scanning the surrounding area. Hidden caverns and rock within the scanner range will become visible on the radar panel, letting the player know what's in the surrounding area. The default scanner range has a radius of 6 blocks. The Geological Center can also train Rock Raiders as geologists, allowing them to scan the hidden rock near them. Unfortunately, once the area around the Geological Center has been scanned, it stays revealed on the radar panel, making the building almost immediately useless except for training.
