Catalytic Physiology
The "Catalytic Physiology" event in Stellaris — flavor, choices, and how to trigger it with the event console command.
Catalytic Physiology

We have gained valuable insights on the suicidal fauna species on …. These megafauna are functionally blind, using echolocation to see and identify one another. We suspect that our energy grids are emitting a frequency that is overwhelming their acute hearing, triggering this aggressive behavior toward our power stations. In addition to this, we have learned that their unique digestive enzymes can act as a catalyst in metallurgic refining. Initial tests show potential in improving our alloy production. Despite these discoveries, we are still a long way off from resuming normal energy production. Our scientists continue to investigate the issue.
The command below will trigger the "Catalytic Physiology" event in Stellaris:
