Deep Crust Engineering
New WorldsDeep Crust Engineering is a tier 2 society technology (New Worlds) in Stellaris 4.5.2. Its base cost is 2,500 research. It needs New Worlds Protocol. It unlocks Active Volcano, Raging Lavafalls, Rugged Landscape and 1 more and leads to Volcanic Terraforming. Console: research_technology tech_volcano.

2,500What Deep Crust Engineering does
Modifiers as the game prints them, from the technology's modifier block; then the unlock lines its research card shows.
- Research Option: Volcanic TerraformingAllows us to terraform Volcanic Worlds into temperate climates.
What Deep Crust Engineering unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
Active Volcano
Raging Lavafalls
Rugged Landscape
Volcanic Crater
How to get Deep Crust Engineering
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 Deep Crust Engineering leads to
Technologies that list it as a prerequisite.
In the game
Advances in material technology and deep-shaft mining techniques allow geo-engineering at previously unthinkable depths and temperatures. Magma hotspots can now be exploited, suppressed, or even relocated.

}Deep Crust Engineering: questions
How do I get Deep Crust Engineering in Stellaris?
Research New Worlds Protocol first (2 technologies in the whole chain); then Deep Crust Engineering can be drawn as one of the 3 society research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).
What does Deep Crust Engineering do?
It unlocks Active Volcano (deposit), Raging Lavafalls (deposit), Rugged Landscape (deposit) and Volcanic Crater (deposit). It leads to Volcanic Terraforming.
What is the ID of Deep Crust Engineering?
The technology's ID is tech_volcano. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_volcano (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Deep Crust Engineering cost?
2,500 society 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.
