How to get Autonomous Mining Drones
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 70) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

How do I get Autonomous Mining Drones in Stellaris?
Research Mineral Cutting Beams first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Autonomous Mining Drones can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options.
What does Autonomous Mining Drones do?
It gives +10% Resources Produced from Mining Stations. It leads to Nanite Mineral Probes.
What is the ID of Autonomous Mining Drones?
The technology's ID is tech_space_mining_4. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_space_mining_4 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Autonomous Mining Drones cost?
3,000 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.
