2,000What Mote Stabilization 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 Mote Stabilization
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 85) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.
Other names for some empires
technology_swap: the same research shows another name (and sometimes other effects) when its condition holds.
- Improved Mote Stabilization
- Nomadic empire
In the game
Volatile Motes are fickle particles that are dangerous to work with. In order to safely harvest them without setting off a chain-reaction of explosions, energy fields must be used to stabilize the motes.
