What Unified Field Theory 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 Unified Field Theory

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.

What Unified Field Theory leads to

Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.

In the game

The fundamental forces of the universe can be mediated by physical fields. Mastering this process allows us to play as gods - at least within the confines of the science lab.

Unified Field Theory: questions

How do I get Unified Field Theory in Stellaris?

Research Quantum Computing first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Unified Field Theory can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Unified Field Theory do?

It unlocks Quantum Relations Annex (building). It leads to Quantum Gravitational Waves.

What is the ID of Unified Field Theory?

The technology's ID is tech_physics_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_physics_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Unified Field Theory cost?

3,000 physics 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_phys_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
