What does Nihilistic Acquisition do in Stellaris?
Unlocks the Raiding bombardment stance, which in turn allows us to abduct pops from besieged planets and resettle them to our own worlds.
How do I unlock Nihilistic Acquisition?
Pick it in a free ascension perk slot. 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 Nihilistic Acquisition?
ap_nihilistic_acquisition. The game's scripts grant it with the effect add_ascension_perk = ap_nihilistic_acquisition; in the console that is: effect add_ascension_perk = ap_nihilistic_acquisition (Stellaris 4.5.2).
