What Self-Connecting Circuitry unlocks

Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.

How to get Self-Connecting Circuitry

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

What Self-Connecting Circuitry leads to

Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.

In the game

Much as organic neurons reforge lost connections by means of axonal sprouting, these circuits are capable of self-overhaul. Even the simplest computing systems are now expected to evolve while in use.

Self-Connecting Circuitry: questions

How do I get Self-Connecting Circuitry in Stellaris?

Research Nanomechanics first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Self-Connecting Circuitry can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Self-Connecting Circuitry do?

It unlocks Applied Mechanics Institute (building). It leads to Supersolid Materials.

What is the ID of Self-Connecting Circuitry?

The technology's ID is tech_engineering_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_engineering_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Self-Connecting Circuitry cost?

3,000 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.
