Gateway Activation
ParticlesRareGateway Activation is a rare tier 4 physics technology (Particles) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 12,000 research. It needs Hyperspace Slipstreams. It unlocks Gateway and Gateway Ness and leads to Gateway Construction. Console: research_technology tech_gateway_activation.

12,000What Gateway Activation 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 Gateway Activation
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 35) and its weight modifiers. Tier 4 opens after 6 tier 3 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 Gateway Activation leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
The ability to reactivate the derelict Gateway stations that can be found scattered throughout the galaxy has the potential to dramatically shorten travel times.

How do I get Gateway Activation in Stellaris?
Research Hyperspace Slipstreams first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Gateway Activation can be drawn as one of the 3 physics 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 Gateway Activation do?
It unlocks Gateway (bypass), Gateway Ness (bypass) and Gateway (megastructure). It leads to Gateway Construction.
What is the ID of Gateway Activation?
The technology's ID is tech_gateway_activation. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_gateway_activation (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Gateway Activation cost?
12,000 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.
