2,000What Planetary Engineering does
Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.
- Unlocks Contract Type: Clear BlockersClear Blockers contracts let us help out planet dwellers by removing the most common types of blockers hampering their colonies development.
What Planetary Engineering 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 Planetary Engineering
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.

}Planetary Engineering: questions
How do I get Planetary Engineering in Stellaris?
Research Space Exploration and Long-Range Mineral Scanners first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Planetary Engineering can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Planetary Engineering do?
It unlocks Arkship Mining Array (starbase module). It leads to Civilian Arkships and Planetary Reprocessor.
What is the ID of Planetary Engineering?
The technology's ID is tech_planetary_engineering. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_planetary_engineering (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Planetary Engineering cost?
2,000 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.
