Advanced Mineral Purification: questions

How do I get Advanced Mineral Purification in Stellaris?

Research Mineral Purification and Colonial Centralization first (6 technologies in the whole chain); then Advanced Mineral Purification can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.

What does Advanced Mineral Purification do?

It unlocks Lithic Baths (building), Mineral Purification Hubs (building), Ministry of Extraction (building), Strip Mine Planet (decision) and Ring Minerals Hub (starbase building). It leads to Extraction Patterns.

What is the ID of Advanced Mineral Purification?

The technology's ID is tech_mineral_purification_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_mineral_purification_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Advanced Mineral Purification cost?

3,000 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.
