Development Log

Note: The log numbers listed below do not necessarily correspond to the stage numbers that are listed in the Cosmic Exploration report site, as some development are unlocked after 2 stages of progress since the previous log.

Number	Name	Image	Description	Unlocks
1	The Grass Is Greener on Auxesia		It is with great joy and humility that I, the ever-diligent Reportingway, once again pen the ventures of our crew on yet another brave new frontier: Auxesia. The destination proved a most fortuitous discovery made possible by the Voyagers who came before us. As you well know, our efforts on Oizys culminated with the restoration of the crystalline structure, the Euhedron. The great toil and hardship poured into its repairs was rewarded with a navigational chart leading to this very star. The harsh environs of Oizys seem all the more barren in comparison to the lush, botanical beauty here. And beneath all that forest greenery, what should we find but sprawling ruins. Could it be that we have followed course to the Voyagers' homeland? We certainly mean to find out. And our quest for answers begins with the Timberlodge!
2	Homegrown Homes		Habitation modules are complete, and we have gained a much-needed foothold on Auxesia as work begins in earnest. Wishing to respect the architecture of our Voyager predecessors, we carefully incorporated timber treated with a fire-resistant coating. Practical, efficient, and─most importantly─minimizes our impact on the environment. It would appear the Voyagers used the gargantuan trees here to create cityscapes, their magicks rendering the canopies into flattened canvases. The result is a veritable bouquet of structures and facilities that would presumably suit their everyday needs. And beneath this treetop framework there is still yet space for domiciles! It is fascinating to think that, much like Oizys, such wonders could be built without the use of conventional tools.
3	Cosmoliner's Branching Out		The Cosmoliner now reaches from Timberpond to the entirety of the Emerald Nervure! From what we can ascertain, there was once a vast transportation network comprised of both physical roads and aetherial streams, connecting the central city to surrounding regions. Analysis of the currents has allowed us to erect stations along the paths we believe were utilized by the Voyagers─yet another energy-saving strategy that aids in preserving the natural beauty of these lands. Even so, that our best efforts yet struggle to match the precedent set before us is testament to their prowess. Now that we may freely travel anywhere and everywhere throughout the region, what other secrets might we uncover?	Cosmoliner extension to Timberpond, Netroot Radius, The Emerald Nervure, and Full Bloom Gardens
4	A Budding Infrastructure		We have finally installed hydrofication and energization stations suitable to the environs of Auxesia! While the star is indeed more stable than any we have explored thus far, we must remain vigilant─danger is wont to lurk where we least expect it. Even the water, however crystal clear, was not beyond our scrutiny. The artificial waterways within the great trees appear to filter water brought up to the canopies, but without knowledge of the Voyagers' physiology, who is to say the water is free of substances harmful to we Loporrits or the people of Etheirys? Thanks to the know-how gained from our voyage across the stars, we needn't fret over an answer, for now we've also installed a state-of-the-art water filtration system. Together with upgrades made to the energization station, Auxesia has never been more hospitable!
5	Sprouting Towerling Awakened		The Sprouting Towerling to the south of the Timberlodge is at last fully operational! At the heart of the tower we've discovered a green crystal not unlike the Euhedron on Oizys. What could this mean for the Cosmic Exploration Initiative? We await the results with bated breath. The greatest hurdle in the endeavor was no doubt the eradication of the surrounding overgrowth, stricken by a malady so terrible the very color of its leaves had turned foul. Indeed, even floracanes conjured by the city's innate maintenance protocols failed to halt their advance. As a result, the flow of aether into the tower─and indeed, its entire foundation─was greatly hindered. Everything changed with the advent of our special growth formula. With it, we were able to prune the unhealthy vegetation and nurture the remaining healthy, newly grown saplings. A budding success to pave the way for future exploration!
6	Secure Lodgings in the Timberlodge		Work to expand operations proceeds apace, thanks in large part to the recently installed aether converter, which allows us to connect the Timberlodge to the surrounding network. Together with the fine-tuning of the energization station, our base of operations is bigger and better than ever! We've even managed a direct connection to the revivified Sprouting Towerling, allowing us to carry out faster, more advanced data analysis. And for the brave souls from Etheirys who've agreed to assist in our cosmic endeavors, paved pathways and a refurbished mech hangar mean an improved quality of stay here on the star. While we expect this expansion to greatly deepen our understanding of the Voyagers, there is yet more to be explored, more pieces of the puzzle left to be assembled.
7	Reaching Sylvan Stacks		The abnormal overgrowth of trees blocked virtually any means of ingress into Sylvan Stacks, making further surveys difficult, to say the least. Worse, their presence hindered the flow of aether throughout the supporting structure. Thankfully, we had a new tool on hand, developed specifically for exploration here on Auxesia─the Cosmic Harvester! Equipped with a mighty sawblade and crane arm, it was only a matter of time before the trees impeding our plans were cleared away. And it is there that the Sunning Towerling will soon blossom, the surrounding blue crystals a stark contrast from the Sprouting Towerling. But what was its function, I wonder? Only time, and perhaps a touch more exploration, will tell!	New area (Sylvan Stacks)
8	Sunning Towerling Awakened		At long last, we have restored the Sunning Towerling in Sylvan Stacks! A most welcome sight after the great lengths taken to curb the growth of trees blocking entry here. After connecting to the Timberlodge, the data we retrieved was able to shed light on the function of the Sprouting Towerling. It is, in fact, a relay station of sorts, managing the flow of aether throughout the entire city. By contrast, the Sunning Towerling and its surrounding facilities appear to have served as some manner of knowledge repository. Given that the Voyagers were capable of transmitting data via aether, a surfeit of wisdom no doubt awaits as we continue our research. One can only imagine the city at the height of their civilization!	Remaining time-restricted Stellar Missions unlocked
9	The Cosmoliner: Sylvan Stacks		Sylvan Stacks is now a hop, skip, and another short hop away thanks to our latest extension of the Cosmoliner. Our researchers in particular are absolutely thrilled about the time saved traveling to the Sunning Towerling. As I mentioned previously, when erecting the Cosmoliner, we placed stations along the aetherial routes we believe to have been used by the Voyagers. Much to our surprise, use of these paths has also helped to revitalize the aetherial network running the length and breadth of the city. Oh, I do so love a good happy accident!	Cosmoliner extention into Sylvan Stacks Sylvan Stacks aetheryte
10	Cosmoport Expansion		The cosmoport, gateway to Auxesia, has been expanded! We've set up a new energization station for the Galactic Way, and taken additional measures to ward against the effects of floracanes. This should mean smooth─or at least, smoother─sailing the next time anyone is spacebound. Speaking of which, an analysis of the celestial currents surrounding this star detected localized fluctuations in density, which could be attributed to gravitational magicks. Judging by their coordinates relative to our location, it is quite possible the Voyagers took flight to the stars from the vicinity of our base.
11	Building Bridges		We've at last constructed a means of ingress to the Stratostone Stand─the Teletrope! This incredible feat of ingenuity was made possible thanks to the drones left behind by the Voyagers. These Timberdrones, as we call them, possess the unique ability to shape the trajectory of plant growth in whatever direction we wish! Once we'd wrapped our minds around the controls, we were able to shape a mighty bridge out of trees─one sturdy enough to hold even our heavy machinery. The tower here is no doubt essential to the infrastructure of this city, and soon its role will be made clear!	New area (Stratostone Stand)
12	Rooting Towerling Awakened		The Rooting Towerling which slumbered in the Stratostone Stand is now wide awake, and thrumming with energy! Even the surrounding foliage, once withering and wilting, is now alive and flourishing. More noteworthy still are the massive indicolite clusters nearby. Similar deposits could be found near the other towers, quite reminiscent of what could be found on Oizys, but these are on an entirely different scale. Our researchers believe they may have played a part in directing the flow of aether throughout the entire city! With this third tower now fully operational, it may be time for us to forge onward to the heart of the city. And forge on we shall!	Remaining Stellar Missions unlocked
13	The Cosmoliner: Stratostone Stand		The Cosmoliner finally extends even to the Stratostone Stand! As the circulation of aether throughout the city continues to improve, our researchers have been inundated with data for analysis. Their work has uncovered linguistic patterns in the data, and with help from the Studium's Faculty of Archaeology, we hope to hasten our work to piece together the language. The frequency of repetition─that is, presumably the same sentences repeating again and again─suggests only the city's routine functions are fully operational. Perhaps once we've restored the massive tree towering to the north, the central systems of the city will awaken, and we will gain access to the true intelligence left behind by the Voyagers. I do hope you will join us as we delve deeper into the mystery of these starfaring forerunners.	Cosmoliner extension into Stratostone Stand Stratostone Stand aetheryte
14	A Place to Hangar One's Hat		As we prepare to explore what's undoubtedly the city's core, we thought it prudent to make some long-overdue renovations to the mech hangar. Its facilities can now support our newly tuned vacuum suits, and its maintenance capabilities have been greatly expanded. What's more, the engineers also made certain to not only optimize charging speeds using the energization station, but also expand the hangar to accommodate the dispatch of far more units than before! That's to say nothing of the niceties now found in the Timberlodge. No few places to relax, and you'll certainly not want for greenery. And at its center, a shielded roof to protect the rainbow crystal and communications equipment. I think it's safe to say that the Timberlodge is finally complete, meaning after we've had our fill of rest, we can give it our all as we make for the heart of Auxesia!
15	The Heart of the Matter		New and improved vacuum suits have finally made it possible to reach the Core Shroud, the heart of Auxesia. Having visited its dizzying heights myself, I can attest to the breathtaking view! It consists of multiple branching dome-shaped facilities, each seemingly housing critical mechanisms that together comprise what one might call the “brain” of the city. With restoration of the structures and their facilities complete down below, and the circulation of aether improving around the core, there have been signs of minor activity within. I imagine it won't be long before its systems are fully up and running. And with the Cosmoliner already in place, we're ready for a thorough exploration of the grounds!	New area (Core Shroud), along with Cosmoliner extension into Core Shroud
16	Reviving Grandma Laurel		Preparations to reboot Grandma Laurel, perhaps the most vital of the many facilities here on Auxesia, are complete! Like many of the structures observed down below, the surrounding trees seemed woefully malnourished. Thanks to our growth formula, however, their revitalization was a simple matter of course. As a result, we were able to confirm the presence of a strange, giant sphere, and an even stranger tree stretching out to support it. The research team speculates it may be something akin to a central processing system, but only time will tell. Complete restoration of Grandma Laurel will require a delicate touch, carefully reestablishing the flow of aether at key locations─a task we must leave to the research team. Until their work is complete, we can only wait and hope for the best.
17	The Voyagers' Spirit		Looking about at the lush greens and vibrant foliage of Auxesia, one can almost hear the Voyagers singing praises of a job well done. When first we arrived, these verdant surrounds were marred by a great many problems. Even the flow of aether throughout the city was stagnant─a far cry from the serene visage that now lays before me. From its inception, the Cosmic Exploration Initiative maintained a single goal: to hop from star to star in search of life. And even should our paths never be fated to cross, I choose to believe the intrepid spirit of the Voyagers is here with us all the same. Even now, their hymn to the world echoes on the wind, carried through the rustling trees. We have reached an incredible malmstone, but there are yet more stars in the sky─more worlds that await exploration. Our journey is far from over, but for now, dear reader, this is Reportingway, signing off!	The Songs of Distant Trees
