What Artificial Workforce leads to

Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.

In the game

These artificial work units are perfect for menial labor tasks. They are hard-working and capable of following simple vocal instructions, but should not be expected to climb stairs.

Artificial Workforce: questions

How do I get Artificial Workforce in Stellaris?

Research Powered Exoskeletons first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Artificial Workforce can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Artificial Workforce do?

It unlocks Robot Assembly Plants (building) and Cease Robot Assembly (decision). It leads to Artificial Specialists and Machine Template System.

What is the ID of Artificial Workforce?

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

How much does Artificial Workforce cost?

1,500 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.
