What Curator Exploration Lab does

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

  • +33%Science Ship Survey Speed
  • Unlocks Component: Curator Exploration Lab
    These shipboard lab facilities incorporate advanced technologies from the ancient Curator Order to further increase survey speeds.

How to get Curator Exploration Lab

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 85) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 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.
