How to get Sapient Combat Simulations
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 40) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 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.

In the game
Running sapient AIs through high-intensity combat simulations yields valuable insight into potential optimizations for risk-evaluation techniques.

How do I get Sapient Combat Simulations in Stellaris?
Research Extended Combat Algorithms and Positronic AI first (6 technologies in the whole chain); then Sapient Combat Simulations 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 Sapient Combat Simulations do?
It unlocks Sapient Combat Computer (Artillery) (ship component), Sapient Combat Computer (Carrier) (ship component), Sapient Combat Computer (Line) (ship component), Sapient Combat Computer (Picket) (ship component), Sapient Combat Computer (Platform) (ship component), Sapient Combat Computer (Siege) (ship component) and 16 more.
What is the ID of Sapient Combat Simulations?
The technology's ID is tech_combat_computers_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_combat_computers_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Sapient Combat Simulations cost?
10,000 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.
