How to get Dark Matter Detection
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 20) 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.

}Dark Matter Detection: questions
How do I get Dark Matter Detection in Stellaris?
Research Detection Array and Dark Matter Drawing first (5 technologies in the whole chain); then Dark Matter Detection 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 Dark Matter Detection do?
It unlocks Arkship Dark Matter Detector (starbase building) and Dark Matter Detector (starbase building).
What is the ID of Dark Matter Detection?
The technology's ID is tech_dark_matter_detection. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_dark_matter_detection (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Dark Matter Detection cost?
24,000 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.
