Research path to Planetary Resurfacing
Planetary Resurfacing (tier 2 society) needs New Worlds Protocol, 2 technologies in all; the path costs 2,500 base research (1 to research, starting technologies free). Opening the tiers on the way takes 6 more technologies (6,500), so the whole climb is about 9,000.

How it is worked out
- Base costs before empire size and difficulty (Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776)). Research is drawn: each area offers 3 options at a time, so the game may not offer them in this order.
- A tier opens after 6 technologies of the tier before it in the same area; the tier openers above are our estimate of the cheapest way there.
