What Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics does

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

  • +5%Resources Produced from Mining Stations
  • +5%Resources Produced from Research Stations
  • -50%Station Upkeep

How to get Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 0) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

It needs no other technology.

Conditions (potential)
  • DLC: first contact

Other names for some empires

technology_swap: the same research shows another name (and sometimes other effects) when its condition holds.

  • Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics
    • Nomadic empire

In the game

Due to our vast experience operating observation stations in orbit of pre-FTL worlds, we have discovered slight optimizations. By implementing them empire-wide, we can drastically reduce the maintenance our stations require.

Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics: questions

How do I get Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics in Stellaris?

It has no prerequisite: it can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options once tier 2 is open. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics do?

It gives +0.25 Envoy Capacity, +5% Resources Produced from Mining Stations, +5% Resources Produced from Research Stations and -50% Station Upkeep.

What is the ID of Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics?

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

How much does Atmospheric Orbital Mechanics 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.
