Improved Structural Integrity
Improved Structural Integrity is a rare tier 2 engineering technology (Voidcraft) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 2,500 research. It needs Starhold. It leads to 2 technologies. Console: research_technology tech_defense_platform_hull_1.
What Improved Structural Integrity does
Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.
- +10%Defense Platform Hull Points
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.

What Improved Structural Integrity leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
A reinforced framework and blast shields with enhanced impact absorption will ensure the structural integrity of the platform even under immense pressure.

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.
