"Dangerous Technology"

[Literally Cancer]

What the heck is a dangerous technology? I'm trying to decide whether or not to research jump drives but the thing is all lit up red with warning signs. Does something bad happen if you research it?

[Singrave]

they cause some dangerous events...

[Jallad]

Only one way to find out!

[Daywalker]

using jumpdrives has a chance that invaders from other dimensions come to you.

I'm sure they'll be friendly and totally not interested in destroying all life in the galaxy or anything. What have you got to lose, except for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING? :)

If you research the jump drive tech it basiucally ensures that you are going to get the hardest end game crisis which is the unbidden. Im not going to go into depth into what the unbidden is, there is a youtuber named Aspec who makes a great video on them but its a little outdated. This is pretty detremental BUT jump drvies are by far the best tech in the game. JD's are mixture of all 3 FTL, with the speed of Hyperdrives, the free movement of Warps, and the Distacne of Worm Holes. Its worth it trust me.

Dangerous tech is...dangerous.

Ok thats enough being a smart ass.
Esentially Dangerous tech is Red colored tech, by unlocking them, you get a certain chance...a some really small percentage of it occuring...chance of something REALLY BAD happening.

In Vanilla stellaris theres only 2 red techs I believe...
AI sentience.
And Jump Drives.

AI sentience makes certain materialistic fallen empires go really anal on you and threaten to kill you. Or kill you. Same deal.

If that dosen't happen, then a full on AI rebellion kicks off (maybe) once synthetics get put in the field, and it expands where robots live killing...things with a robot fleet.
Its kinda rare, I should try triggering it.

Jump drives give you Super FTL drives that really help in your dominion.
But they also give you a chance of unleashing INTERDIMENSIONAL DEVOURERS that wipe planets clean called the unbidden.

They are really strong. Constant streams of 50 to 100k fleets of upclose DEATH that ignore armor and require anti shield weapons.

The AI dangerous research really isn't that dangerous because the AI event rarely occurs unless you build a bunch of synthetic pops.

But here's the catch, if you decide not to research these "dangerous" technologies, you will still get an end game crisis anyways! So researching these "dangerous" technologies literally does nothing since you will be damned if you do and damned if you don't!!!!!

and even that they need to be slaves.

Jump Drive: The more people who have Jump Drive, the higher the likelihood of an Unbidden invasion.

Self Aware AI: It's not dangerous on it's own, but the follow up, Synethics, may lead to a machine revolt.

it can if you dont give them rights.

From the wiki:

If you have Synthetics and the Rebellion is going to trigger, you get the following events.

If you have them with citizen rights, there may be the option to permanently cement those rights. This will prevent the Rebellion triggering in your empire, and your Synthetics will not revolt, so you are safe.

If you have them enslaved, you may get an event in which you perfect the Three Laws. This prevents the Rebellion from starting in your empire, but your Synthetics are likely to join it.

If you refuse either of these, you are left vulnerable as potentially being the source of the Rebellion. If you are unlucky, these events may not trigger at all, and the Rebellion will simply happen regardless.

research jump drives, all the AI do anyways so the unbidden have a chance to spawn no matter what you do.

They are machines. They should not have rights because they can only think what they were programmed to think. They cannot be slaves because they were built and their brains are nothing but human written programming.

Fry: "If your programming told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it?"

Bender: "I dunno, I'd have to check my programming... yup."

AI Rebellion will be getting a serious overall in the upcoming patches, including them getting a fleet. Pretty sure what Paradox said they're going to do is a smaller, more localised mid-game event similar to how it is now, then a separate major endgame crisis where the AI have a doom fleet. Looking forward to it :)

Dangerous technology you ask? and why it shows up as red? well that's because you can possibly begin the events of the unbidden early on as you finish researching it. same thing for the Psi jump drive.
