How to get Probability Current
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. As a rare technology it is drawn less often, and some rare ones only appear after an event, a relic or a special project.
The whole research path: 2 technologies, 7,250 base research with this one
- DLC: cosmic storms
In the game
By applying probability currents to our scientific weather models, our ability to track the movement and formation of impending Cosmic Storms is greatly increased.

How do I get Probability Current in Stellaris?
Research Cosmic Weather Models first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Probability Current can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options. It is a rare technology: its draw weight is low, and some are only offered after an event, a relic or a special project. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Probability Current do?
It gives +2 Cosmic Storm Location Intel and +2 Cosmic Storm Movement Intel.
What is the ID of Probability Current?
The technology's ID is tech_storm_prediction_2. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_storm_prediction_2 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Probability Current cost?
5,000 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.
