What Colossi does

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

  • Unlocks Ship Type: Colossus
    Colossus Larger than even a Titan, the Colossus hull configuration has no ship-to-ship combat capability. It is more of a mobile orbital station, capable only of complete planetary devastation.

What Colossi 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 Colossi

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 5 opens after 6 tier 4 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.

Conditions (potential)
  • DLC: Apocalypse

In the game

Advances in mega-engineering blur the lines between reality and fantasy in the form of Colossus-type military vessels. These immense, single-weapon platforms are capable of radically altering or obliterating entire worlds at the push of a button.
