What Extended Combat Algorithms does

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

    Advanced Combat Roles Further advances in adaptive combat algorithms enables our shipboard AI to handle its assigned role far more effectively.

What Extended Combat Algorithms 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 Extended Combat Algorithms

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.

Extended Combat Algorithms: questions

How do I get Extended Combat Algorithms in Stellaris?

Research Specialized Combat Computers and Self-Evolving Logic first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Extended Combat Algorithms can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.

What does Extended Combat Algorithms do?

It unlocks Advanced Combat Computer (Artillery) (ship component), Advanced Combat Computer (Carrier) (ship component), Advanced Combat Computer (Line) (ship component), Advanced Combat Computer (Picket) (ship component), Advanced Combat Computer (Platform) (ship component), Advanced Combat Computer (Siege) (ship component) and 18 more. It leads to Autonomous Ship Intellects and Sapient Combat Simulations.

What is the ID of Extended Combat Algorithms?

The technology's ID is tech_combat_computers_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_combat_computers_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Extended Combat Algorithms 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.

Source: common/technology/00_phys_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
