What Targeted Gene Expressions does

Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.

  • Unlocks Trait: Vocational Genomics
    Allows us to add Vocational Genomics to Organic Species through Species Modification.
  • Unlocks Species Modifcation: Vocational Editing
    Vocational Traits can be Removed with Species Modification

How to get Targeted Gene Expressions

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 50) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 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.

Targeted Gene Expressions: questions

How do I get Targeted Gene Expressions in Stellaris?

Research Gene Tailoring first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Targeted Gene Expressions can be drawn as one of the 3 society 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. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What is the ID of Targeted Gene Expressions?

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

How much does Targeted Gene Expressions cost?

6,000 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.
