What Multi-Dimensional Studies 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 Multi-Dimensional Studies

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.

Multi-Dimensional Studies: questions

How do I get Multi-Dimensional Studies in Stellaris?

Research Exotic Materials Labs and Colonial Centralization first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Multi-Dimensional Studies can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.

What does Multi-Dimensional Studies do?

It unlocks Advanced Research Complexes (building), Advanced Research Enclosure (building) and Experimentation Nexus (building).

What is the ID of Multi-Dimensional Studies?

The technology's ID is tech_basic_science_lab_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_basic_science_lab_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Multi-Dimensional Studies cost?

4,000 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.
