How to get Storm Manipulation
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 75) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 technologies of the same area.

What Storm Manipulation leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
By harnessing the principles behind storm negation technologies, we can begin to manipulate the astrometeorological nature of the galaxy to serve our own needs.

}Storm Manipulation: questions
How do I get Storm Manipulation in Stellaris?
Research Planetary Storm Negation first; then Storm Manipulation can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Storm Manipulation do?
It unlocks Storm Attraction Center (building), Storm Repulsion Center (building), Storm Attraction Field (edict), Storm Repel Field (edict), Storm Attraction Computer (starbase building) and Storm Repelling Computer (starbase building). It leads to Advanced Storm Manipulation.
What is the ID of Storm Manipulation?
The technology's ID is tech_storm_manipulation. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_storm_manipulation (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Storm Manipulation cost?
2,500 physics 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.
