What Mega-Assembly Systems 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 Mega-Assembly Systems

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 45) 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.

Mega-Assembly Systems: questions

How do I get Mega-Assembly Systems in Stellaris?

Research Binary Motivators and Galactic Administration first (8 technologies in the whole chain); then Mega-Assembly Systems can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering 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 does Mega-Assembly Systems do?

It unlocks Machine Assembly Complex (building).

What is the ID of Mega-Assembly Systems?

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

How much does Mega-Assembly Systems cost?

8,000 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.

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