How to get Improved Structural Integrity

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 75) 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.

Improved Structural Integrity: questions

How do I get Improved Structural Integrity in Stellaris?

Research Starhold first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Improved Structural Integrity can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering 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.

What does Improved Structural Integrity do?

It gives +10% Defense Platform Hull Points. It leads to Fortified Core Layers and Synchronized Firing Patterns.

What is the ID of Improved Structural Integrity?

The technology's ID is tech_defense_platform_hull_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_defense_platform_hull_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Improved Structural Integrity cost?

2,500 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.
