What Advanced Cloaking Fields 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 Advanced Cloaking Fields
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 50) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 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.

How do I get Advanced Cloaking Fields in Stellaris?
Research Basic Cloaking Fields and Shields first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Advanced Cloaking Fields 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 does Advanced Cloaking Fields do?
It unlocks Advanced Cloaking Field Generator (ship component). It leads to Elite Cloaking Fields.
What is the ID of Advanced Cloaking Fields?
The technology's ID is tech_cloaking_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_cloaking_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Advanced Cloaking Fields cost?
6,000 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.
