How to get Planetary Reprocessor

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 40) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 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.

Planetary Reprocessor: questions

How do I get Planetary Reprocessor in Stellaris?

Research Arkship Mastery and Planetary Engineering first (8 technologies in the whole chain); then Planetary Reprocessor can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering 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. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Planetary Reprocessor do?

It unlocks Arkship Planetary Refinery (starbase module).

What is the ID of Planetary Reprocessor?

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

How much does Planetary Reprocessor cost?

10,000 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.
