What Nano-Separators unlocks

Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.

How to get Nano-Separators

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 65) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.

Nano-Separators: questions

How do I get Nano-Separators in Stellaris?

Research Holographic Casts and Colonial Centralization first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Nano-Separators can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.

What does Nano-Separators do?

It unlocks Alloy Nano-Plants (building), Metallurgical Research Lab (building), Nano-Smelter (building), Arkship Alloys Hub (starbase building) and Ring Alloys Hub (starbase building). It leads to Durasteel-Laced Alloys.

What is the ID of Nano-Separators?

The technology's ID is tech_alloys_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_alloys_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Nano-Separators cost?

4,000 engineering 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.
