What Scalable Reservoir Computing does

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

  • Unlocks Megastructure: Synaptic Lathe
    Synaptic Lathe Colossal in scale, the Synaptic Lathe is a reservoir computer. The processing power of our population's networked minds is used to compute and store data. The benefits are obvious, but some misguided species may view the transmutation of individuals into computing chips as morally questionable.

What Scalable Reservoir Computing 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 Scalable Reservoir Computing

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.

It needs no other technology.

Scalable Reservoir Computing: questions

How do I get Scalable Reservoir Computing in Stellaris?

It has no prerequisite: it can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options once tier 5 is open. 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 Scalable Reservoir Computing do?

It unlocks Synaptic Lathe (megastructure).

What is the ID of Scalable Reservoir Computing?

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

How much does Scalable Reservoir Computing cost?

16,000 engineering 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.
