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

Biological lifeforms are fragile and rigid compared to the superior adaptability of the machine form. However, some beneficial organic characteristics could be replicated with robotic variants. The substance Living Metal has the capacity to radically and rapidly alter its shape and physical consistency. Integrating this with our existing chassis could enable a form of modular bio-mimicry, where extrusions and limbs can be specialized for specific tasks. Potential: significant; scalable. Cost: unknown. Additional data required.
The command below will trigger the "Transformation Research: Modularity" event in Stellaris:
Player choices
When this event fires, you can choose between these 4 options:
- Make it our main priority.
- Full Modularity research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Society): -20%
- Permit moderate resource usage.
- Partial Modularity research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Society): -10%
- This will not disrupt our current research.
- Limited Modularity research results. Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Society): -5%
- Organize population trials.
- Full Modularity research results. Allow scientists to conduct unorthodox experimentation on a large scale to compliment the research. Kills 400 Workers Kills 0-300 Specialists Transformation situation modifier added: Research Speed ( Society): -5%
