How to get Advanced Wayline Logistics

Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 60) and its weight modifiers. Tier 3 opens after 6 tier 2 technologies of the same area.

In the game

Advanced coordination protocols bind distant Waystations into a cohesive network. Resources, signals, and supplies move across the Waylines with unmatched precision.

Advanced Wayline Logistics: questions

How do I get Advanced Wayline Logistics in Stellaris?

Research Improved Wayline Logistics first (3 technologies in the whole chain); then Advanced Wayline Logistics can be drawn as one of the 3 engineering research options. It also has conditions (see Requirements on this page).

What does Advanced Wayline Logistics do?

It gives +6 Station Capacity, +2 Logistic Ship Capacity and +25% Logistic Ship Stockpile Capacity. It unlocks Eternal Vigilance (ascension perk), Wayhold (ship size) and Waystation Logistics Hub (starbase module).

What is the ID of Advanced Wayline Logistics?

The technology's ID is tech_waystation_3. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_waystation_3 (Stellaris 4.5.2).

How much does Advanced Wayline Logistics cost?

5,000 engineering 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.
