Base Computer Archives

What do the Base Computer Archives give? Blueprints for your base, your starship, and your exosuit: the Teleport Receiver and the Efficient Thrusters for the starship, the Neural Stimulator and the Shield Lattice for the exosuit, and base parts from the Storage Container and the Solar Panel to the Landing Pad. Of its 21 parts, the last ones restore off-world archives: lore, with no item.

How it starts

The archives open early in The Artemis Path, after Alone Amidst the Stars, in the Base Computer of your base. Each early part gives a blueprint, asks you to build or install it, and then to know more words of the alien languages before the next archive can be read.

The steps

Each part is one entry of the log, and the next opens when it ends. A word step counts every word you know, so the number after it is the total you need, not the words to learn in that part. The table gives every step as the log names it, with the hint the game shows under it, and on a part's last step everything that part gives along the way.

Every step in the order the log shows it, with the hint under it; what a part gives stands on its last step.

What the items do

Everything the archives hand over, with the description the game gives it.

ItemWhat it does

Storage Container

Spacious additional storage for inventory items.

Solar Panel

An efficient power generator, this solar array will turn sunlight into the electrical energy required to power many base structures.

Battery

Highly-efficient energy storage units. Connect to a power grid, and onboard power management circuits will automatically draw down spare capacity to charge its cells.

Teleport Receiver

A device that modulates standard starship communication signals to enable the transport of matter as well as data.

Neural Stimulator

Increases the capacity of the Exosuit's Jetpack Tanks and Adrenal Pump Reserves, allowing the user to both fly and sprint longer.

Efficient Thrusters

Upgrades the starship launch systems, decreasing the fuel cost of takeoff.

Shield Lattice

Increases the base capacity of the Hazard Protection system, allowing the user to spend longer in hazardous environments without recharging their Exosuit.

White Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Red Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Green Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Yellow Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Pink Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Blue Light

A coloured light for illuminating and decorating bases.

Appearance Modifier

A buildable module that allows the users to adjust their personal appearance settings.

Roamer Geobay

A secure parking, summoning and customisation facility for the Roamer medium Exocraft.

Landing Pad

A stable, reinforced landing pad for starships.
Every item the quest gives, in the order it comes, with the game's own description.

What each starship and exosuit module adds is in the starship modules and exosuit modules guides. The base's specialists have quests of their own, among them Scientific Research and Agricultural Research.
