Cross-Model Standardization: questions

How do I get Cross-Model Standardization in Stellaris?

Research Machine Template System and Artificial Specialists first (8 technologies in the whole chain); then Cross-Model Standardization can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Cross-Model Standardization do?

It gives +3 Mechanical Modification Points and +3 Machine Modification Points. It leads to Fungible Circuitry.

What is the ID of Cross-Model Standardization?

The technology's ID is tech_robomodding_points_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_robomodding_points_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Cross-Model Standardization cost?

4,000 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.

Source: common/technology/00_synthetic_dawn_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
