Quick Overview

The Stellaris command techweights is used to display the existing weights of different technologies in the tech tree for the player’s empire.

In this context, weights refer to the probability or likelihood of a certain technology appearing as an option for research in the technology screen. Higher weight means the technology is more likely to appear.

In-Depth Description

The techweights command in Stellaris is used to display the weights of all the technologies currently available in the technology tree of the player.

The 'weight' here refers to probability, essentially showing how likely a particular technology is to appear in the technology research screen.

The output from this command is a detailed breakdown between each category of technology: Physics, Society, and Engineering.

It will also factor in any influencing factors, such as Empire ethics, researched technologies, scientist traits, or even the current year.

Understanding the weights may help you decide the future direction of your technology research based on your current situation and overall game strategy.
