Nanite Mineral Probes
Nanite Mineral Probes is a tier 3 engineering technology (Industry) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 4,000 research. It needs Autonomous Mining Drones. Console: research_technology tech_space_mining_5.
What Nanite Mineral Probes does
Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.
- +10%Resources Produced from Mining Stations
How to get Nanite Mineral Probes
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 65) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.
The whole research path: 5 technologies, 11,500 base research with this one
