How to get Advanced Detection Algorithms

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 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

Coupling detection arrays with the computers onboard our science vessels can vastly increase their scanning resolution.

Advanced Detection Algorithms: questions

How do I get Advanced Detection Algorithms in Stellaris?

Research Detection Array first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Advanced Detection Algorithms 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. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What is the ID of Advanced Detection Algorithms?

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

How much does Advanced Detection Algorithms cost?

3,000 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_first_contact_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
