What Autonomous Ship Intellects does

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

What Autonomous Ship Intellects 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 Autonomous Ship Intellects

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.

Autonomous Ship Intellects: questions

How do I get Autonomous Ship Intellects in Stellaris?

Research Extended Combat Algorithms first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Autonomous Ship Intellects 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 Autonomous Ship Intellects do?

It unlocks Autonomous Neural Implants (Artillery) (ship component), Autonomous Neural Implants (Carrier) (ship component), Autonomous Neural Implants (Line) (ship component), Autonomous Neural Implants (Picket) (ship component), Autonomous Neural Implants (Platform) (ship component), Autonomous Neural Implants (Siege) (ship component) and 16 more.

What is the ID of Autonomous Ship Intellects?

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

How much does Autonomous Ship Intellects 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.
