Runaway Reaction

Attempts to force entry into the structure on … ended in disaster. Our equipment further destabilized the building's energy patterns, causing a series of potent explosions. It is now little more than an ashen wreck. Its accidental destruction produced an unexpected outcome. The razed ruins of a long-abandoned alien settlement appeared in a nearby valley. It seems the object was somehow projecting a powerful cloaking field on the former colony; what they were hiding from remains a mystery, but what is certain is that they perished regardless of their efforts. Nothing of archaeological value remains intact. The exact workings of this unusual technology remain unknown to us, but we gleaned some new knowledge from the experience. We will repurpose this potent geothermal energy source for our own colony.

The command below will trigger the "Runaway Reaction" event in Stellaris:

When this event fires, you can choose between the following option:

• A valuable discovery.
  • Shimmering Structure Blocker cleared
  • Add deposit: Geothermal Hotspot

Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Runaway Reaction (strange_worlds.40) connects.
