Transformation Research: Nanites
The "Transformation Research: Nanites" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Transformation Research: Nanites

Situation eventDLC: The Machine Age
Preliminary research suggests electromechanical constructs called nanites present a promising vector for advancement. While rare, they possess unique qualities, including programmability, self-replication, and the ability to form a 'swarm intellect.' This technology offers unmatched transformational capabilities, but the requirements to support it remain unclear. Potential: significant; scalable. Cost: unknown. Additional research required.
The command below will trigger the "Transformation Research: Nanites" event in Stellaris:
Player choices
When this event fires, you can choose between these 4 options:
- This will be our top priority.
- Full Nanotech research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Engineering): -20%
- Exercise moderation.
- Partial Nanotech research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Engineering): -10%
- This cannot disrupt our current research.
- Limited Nanotech research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Engineering): -5%
- Leverage our existing knowledge.
- Full Nanotech research results. Familiarity with nanites through previous encounters allows us to spend minimal resources for the best results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Society): -5% Research Speed ( Physics): -5%
