How to get Nanite Transmutation

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 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.

It needs no other technology.

Conditions (potential)
  • DLC: Distant Stars Story Pack

In the game

The mass-production of these rare resources require particularly capable nanites.
