What Volcanic Forge 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 Volcanic Forge

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 85) and its weight modifiers. Tier 2 opens after 6 tier 1 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.

It needs no other technology.

In the game

When deployed, this facility slowly transforms a planet into a volcanic paradise, surfacing useful resources along the way. Thermoforgers can accelerate the transformation.
