}Kinetic Battery: questions
How do I get Kinetic Battery in Stellaris?
Research Advanced Railguns first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Kinetic Battery can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.
What does Kinetic Battery do?
It unlocks Chitin Battery (ship component), Kinetic Battery (ship component) and Arkship Kinetic Artillery Battery (starbase module). It leads to Kinetic Artillery.
What is the ID of Kinetic Battery?
The technology's ID is tech_kinetic_artillery_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_kinetic_artillery_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Kinetic Battery cost?
6,000 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.
