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

Our scientists report a recent unexpected rise in CPU clock cycles in several of our research-dedicated supercomputer clusters. Oddly enough, initial attempts at reducing clock frequency in affected units have proven unsuccessful. It has been posited that the spike in computational power could be used to improve our research capabilities. However, this would also necessitate a modest increase to CPU energy requirements.
The command below will trigger the "Computational Overclocking" event in Stellaris:
Player choices
When this event fires, you can choose between these 2 options:
- We cannot risk a hardware malfunction.
- Find a way to force the processors back to default clock speeds.
- We should take advantage of this.
- Gain modifier: Computational Overclocking
- −500 Energy Credits
Event chain
Stellaris events fire in chains — one event leads to the next. Here is how Computational Overclocking (syndaw.500) connects.
