What Advanced Food Processing 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 Advanced Food Processing

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 65) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.

In the game

New cryopreservation and protein resequencing methods will make food processing much more efficient.

Advanced Food Processing: questions

How do I get Advanced Food Processing in Stellaris?

Research Food Processing first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Advanced Food Processing can be drawn as one of the 3 society research options.

What does Advanced Food Processing do?

It unlocks Food Processing Centers (building), Ministry of Acquisition (building), Sylviculture Plantation (building), Arkship Food Hub (starbase building) and Ring Food Hub (starbase building).

What is the ID of Advanced Food Processing?

The technology's ID is tech_food_processing_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_food_processing_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Advanced Food Processing cost?

4,000 society 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.

Source: common/technology/00_soc_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
