How to get Extraction Patterns
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 15) and its weight modifiers. Tier 5 opens after 6 tier 4 technologies of the same area.
The whole research path: 7 technologies, 59,000 base research with this one
In the game
Changes in how mineral deposits are evaluated relative to each other lead to more efficient boring patterns.

Extraction Patterns: questions
How do I get Extraction Patterns in Stellaris?
Research Advanced Mineral Purification first (7 technologies in the whole chain); then Extraction Patterns can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.
What does Extraction Patterns do?
It gives +5% Minerals Minerals from Jobs.
What is the ID of Extraction Patterns?
The technology's ID is tech_repeatable_improved_tile_mineral_output. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_repeatable_improved_tile_mineral_output (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Extraction Patterns cost?
50,000 engineering research before modifiers, +5,000 per level. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
