\
+ Let's start right from the beginning: what is Xenoarchaeology?
\
+ Great question! Xenoarchaeology is the study of ancient foreign bodies that are trapped within strange rocks.
\
+ Your goal as a xenoarchaeologist is to find these strange rocks and unearth the secrets that are held within.
\
+ You will find that these rocks are plentiful throughout the astronomical bodies that we typically orbit.
\
+
\
+ Tools of the Trade
\
+
\
+ There are plenty of tools that are required (and some just for the quality of life for the xenoarchaeologist).
\
+ There are the hammers, the brushes, the tape, the belt, the bag, the handheld machines, and the machines.
\
+ In this line of work, the brushes and hammers will be the bread and butter.
\
+ They will allow you to unearth the foreign bodies held within the strange rocks.
\
+ The hammers (with varying depths) allow you to reach the depths in a faster manner than the brushes.
\
+ The brushes allow you to uncover the items within the proper depths without damaging it.
\
+ The tape will allow you to tag the strange rock with the current depth. Continue to examine the rock for updates.
\
+ The belt will allow you to store your mobile/handheld tools for easy access.
\
+ The bag will allow you to store and automatically pickup strange rocks that you find lying on the floor.
\
+ The handheld machines allow you to not have to be stuck at the machines. There are only handheld scanners and recoverers.
\
+ The Scanner is a machine which allows you to tag the strange rock with its max and safe depth.
\
+ The Researcher is a machine that allows you to compile/condense relics and items into larger strange artifacts.
\
+ The Recoverer is a machine that allows you to recover long lost objects from broken items.
\
+
\
+ The Process
\
+
\
+ 1) Find yourself a strange rock out in the wilderness.
\
+ 2) Go back (or stay) to the xenoarchaeology labratory.
\
+ 3) Process the rock in the scanner (or use the handheld scanner).
\
+ 4) Use the measuring tape on the rock.
\
+ 5) Subtract the safe depth (SD) from the max depth (MD).
\
+ 5a) QUESTION: What is the depth you dig to when the MD is 50 and the SD is 16?
\
+ ANSWER: 34. Just make sure to not dig 34 as there will be previous depth involved.
\
+ 6) Subtract the current depth (CD) from the answer to step 5.
\
+ 7) Use the hammers to dig the answer to step 6.
\
+ 8) Once you've reached the answer to step 5, use the brush until you reveal the item.
\
+ 9) Enjoy the use of your unearthed secret!
\
+ 9a) If it is a useless relic, sell it or use it in the Researcher for a surprise.
\
+ 9b) If it is a broken item, sell it or use it in the Recoverer for a surprise.
\
+
\
+ I hope this has been helpful and I wish you great success!
