Storm Dampening Generators: questions

How do I get Storm Dampening Generators in Stellaris?

Research Cosmic Weather Models first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Storm Dampening Generators can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Storm Dampening Generators do?

It gives -45% Negative Effects from Cosmic Storms on Ship Defenses. It leads to Storm Breaker Coating.

What is the ID of Storm Dampening Generators?

The technology's ID is tech_ship_hull_storm_breaker_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_ship_hull_storm_breaker_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Storm Dampening Generators cost?

1,250 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_cosmic_storm_tech.txt and localisation/english, Stellaris Cygnus v4.5.2 (9776). Base numbers before empire-size and difficulty modifiers.
