Biomorphosis: questions

What does Biomorphosis do in Stellaris?

How do I unlock Biomorphosis?

Pick it in a free ascension perk slot. It needs 2 perks taken before it. Its other conditions are listed under Requirements. Empires have 8 slots in all; they open as tradition trees are finished (each finish bonus gives +1) and through Ascension Theory.

What is the ID of Biomorphosis?

ap_engineered_evolution. The game's scripts grant it with the effect add_ascension_perk = ap_engineered_evolution; in the console that is: effect add_ascension_perk = ap_engineered_evolution (Stellaris 4.5.2).
