Mineral Purification
Mineral Purification is a tier 1 engineering technology (Industry) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 1,500 research. It needs Geothermal Fracking. It unlocks Lithic Macerator, Mineral Purification Plants, Mining Subsidies and 2 more and leads to Advanced Mineral Purification. Console: research_technology tech_mineral_purification_1.
What Mineral Purification 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 Mineral Purification
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 90) and its weight modifiers.
The whole research path: 2 technologies, 2,500 base research with this one
What Mineral Purification leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
Other names for some empires
technology_swap: the same research shows another name (and sometimes other effects) when its condition holds.
- Mineral Purification
- Wilderness empire
In the game
Optimal processing of mined materials have allowed us to reach new levels of efficiency.

}Mineral Purification: questions
How do I get Mineral Purification in Stellaris?
Research Geothermal Fracking first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Mineral Purification can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.
What does Mineral Purification do?
It unlocks Lithic Macerator (building), Mineral Purification Plants (building), Mining Subsidies (edict), Mining Subsidies Nomadic (edict) and Mining Subsidies Wilderness (edict). It leads to Advanced Mineral Purification.
What is the ID of Mineral Purification?
The technology's ID is tech_mineral_purification_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_mineral_purification_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Mineral Purification cost?
1,500 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.
