What Plasma Accelerators 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 Plasma Accelerators
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 65) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.

In the game
These new accelerators launch projectiles of high-energy plasma with improved containment fields. This results in less energy leakage as the projectile travels in space towards its target.

}Plasma Accelerators: questions
How do I get Plasma Accelerators in Stellaris?
Research Plasma Throwers first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Plasma Accelerators can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does Plasma Accelerators do?
It gives +5% Army Damage. It unlocks Bio-Plasma Accelerator (ship component), Large Bio-Plasma Accelerator (ship component), Large Plasma Accelerator (ship component), Medium Bio-Plasma Accelerator (ship component), Medium Plasma Accelerator (ship component), Small Bio-Plasma Accelerator (ship component) and 1 more. It leads to Plasma Cannons.
What is the ID of Plasma Accelerators?
The technology's ID is tech_plasma_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_plasma_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Plasma Accelerators cost?
4,000 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.
