How to get Omega Theory

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 60) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.

In the game

When a temporal paradox becomes tangled, a kind of consciousness arises, with its own needs, its own desires. This is what has occurred with the consciousness that some call the Worm-in-Waiting. If we can align ourselves with that consciousness, we might just achieve a kind of immortality.

Omega Theory: questions

How do I get Omega Theory in Stellaris?

Research Entropic Recursion and Doctrine: Strange Loop first; then Omega Theory can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project.

What does Omega Theory do?

It unlocks Omega Alignment (building).

What is the ID of Omega Theory?

The technology's ID is tech_akx_worm_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_akx_worm_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Omega Theory cost?

10,000 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
