What Biostructural Synthesis 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 Biostructural Synthesis

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 50) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.

In the game

Life, in all its staggering variety, is composed of repeating patterns and modular structures. By decoding and replicating these at every scale, we now wield a holistic blueprint of biology. There is little left in nature we do not understand, and less still we cannot recreate.

Biostructural Synthesis: questions

How do I get Biostructural Synthesis in Stellaris?

Research Neural Weaving first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Biostructural Synthesis can be drawn as one of the 3 society research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Biostructural Synthesis do?

It unlocks Life Systems Complex (building).

What is the ID of Biostructural Synthesis?

The technology's ID is tech_society_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_society_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Biostructural Synthesis cost?

6,000 society 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.
