How to get Dyson Swarm
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 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.

In the game

How do I get Dyson Swarm in Stellaris?
It has no prerequisite: it can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options once tier 2 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 Dyson Swarm do?
It gives +3 Dyson Swarm Capacity. It unlocks Living Metal Construction (edict), Dyson Swarm (megastructure), Dyson Swarm: Array (megastructure) and Dyson Swarm: Constellation (megastructure).
What is the ID of Dyson Swarm?
The technology's ID is tech_dyson_swarm. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_dyson_swarm (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Dyson Swarm cost?
3,000 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.
