Archaeology Site

Archaeological Sites are areas where remains of ancient civilizations have been preserved relatively intact. They can be discovered while surveying, generated at game start or uncovered a few years after a planet is colonized. Each time a planet is surveyed there is a 1.25% chance of an archaeology site being discovered.

A site can have 1-6 Chapters in addition to an introduction Chapter. Each Chapter has its own narrative and rewards and has to be unlocked before it becomes visible. Chapters are unlocked via Excavation. As long as an Archaeological Site is within an empire's borders that empire can task a Science Ship to excavate the site. The duration of an Excavation is determined by the Archaeological Site's Difficulty rating and can be reduced by −25% if the Scientist on the Science Ship has the Leader trait archaeologist.png Archaeologist trait. As the Scientist goes through excavations, it will generate a random number from 1 to 10 and add modifiers to the result, with the following formula: Result = dice roll + archaeology skill + clues − difficulty. Additional events can also trigger at the end of each excavation.

List of archaeological sites[edit source]

From Gateway Sent[edit source]

The From Gateway Sent Archaeological Site is discovered by investigating the special project created by the Origins gateway.png Galactic Doorstep Origin.

On the Shoulders of Giants sites[edit source]

Federations Available only with the Federations DLC enabled.

The Origins one the shoulders of giant.png On the Shoulders of Giants Origin adds a lengthy Archaeological Site chain in the empire home system. The narration of the last two chapters of the final site are random but the rewards are always the same.

Precursor Archaeology Sites are visible only to the empire that starts the event chain and are used to advance the Baol and Zroni event chains. When a Zroni Archaeology Site is discovered the planet will gain a deposit of 2-4 Zro.png Zro.

The Sentinels[edit source]

The Sentinels is an Archaeology Site with slightly different mechanics. It can be discovered after a planet is colonized and adds an Archaeological Site blocker to the colony.

Rewards Minor artifacts.png 1-5 Minor Artifacts Minor artifacts.png 1-5 Minor Artifacts Minor artifacts.png 1-5 Minor Artifacts
Tile Blocker.png Archaeological Site blocker removed

When the site is completely excavated the empire will get the following choices:

  • If not Xenophobe.png Xenophobe or Fanatic Xenophobe.png Fanatic Xenophobe gain an Unity.png Unity from Jobs planet modifier and a permanent blocker.
  • If not Xenophobe.png Xenophobe or Fanatic Xenophobe.png Fanatic Xenophobe issue a special project to open the Sentinels. When the special project is complete the empire will have the option the hear the Sentinels or attack. Attacking will have the Sentinels invade the colony with 9 armies. Hearing them out will bring the option to either gain a permanent blocker and 9 defense armies or be hostile and have the Sentinels invade the colony with 9 armies. The invasion has an Army Strength of roughly 2400.
  • Issue a special project to destroy the Sentinels. When the special project is complete the will be invaded by 9 armies. If the armies are defeated the colony will gain the D mineral fields.png Sentinels planetary feature and empire will be offered to either gain 150 Influence.png Influence or issue a special project to see what the Sentinels were guarding. Finishing the special project will bring the following options:
    • Gain 300 Influence.png Influence and the Cheap Thrills planet modifier that gives −10% Mod pop consumer goods mult.png Pop Consumer Goods Upkeep and a +5% Mod pop happiness.png Happiness.
    • Gain the The Evermore planet modifier that gives +10% Research.png Research.

Excavation events[edit source]

If at the end of an Excavation phase the result is not high enough to grant a Clue or finish the Chapter then one of the following events may happen:

  • Science Ship Scientist dies, −2 Clues
  • Archaeology team members die, −1 Clues
  • A dangerous situation is avoided, +3 Clues
  • Choice to pay 100 Energy.png Energy to get +3 Clues or do nothing and get −2 Clues
  • Science Ship Scientist gains the Leader trait maimed.png Maimed trait

Excavation time[edit source]

Assuming you never get any of the aforementioned events, the average number of rolls required to complete the chapter can be read from this table. "S + C - D" is the scientist's archeology skill, plus clues, minus difficulty. A level 3 scientist with Tech archeology lab.png Curator Archaeology Lab tech researched and 2 clues, excavating a level 4 chapter, would have an S + C - D of 5 + 2 - 4 = 3, and will need slightly under four and a half more rolls, on average, to complete the chapter.
