What Antimatter Power does

Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.

  • Unlocks Component: Antimatter Reactor
    Antimatter Reactor By harnessing the energy produced by matter/antimatter annihilations, our efficiency at generating ship power will be orders of magnitude better than fusion.

What Antimatter Power 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 Antimatter Power

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.

Antimatter Power: questions

How do I get Antimatter Power in Stellaris?

Research Cold Fusion Power first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Antimatter Power can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.

What does Antimatter Power do?

It unlocks Antimatter Metabolism (ship component), Antimatter Reactor (ship component), Cold Fusion Metabolism (ship component) and Cold Fusion Reactor (ship component). It leads to Advanced Reactor Boosters and Zero Point Power.

What is the ID of Antimatter Power?

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

How much does Antimatter Power cost?

5,000 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.

Source: common/technology/00_phys_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
