About The Pull Request

Commit Often

Code

Rewrites the majority of xenoarchaeology code, vastly improving the old systems & implementations. The old code was pretty shit, and had quite a few bugs. These changes improve the majority of code, fixing most of the bugs I'm aware of.

Design

Improves multiple designs and interactions, generally introducing more depth to the shared systems. Overall improves how xenoarchaeology works in terms of department-to-department interaction, and how it functions within science. Previous pain points discussed by players have been addressed and handled in ways that integrate with improving the overall design & flow of artsci.

TODO

Finish relevant playtest todos:

• Pearl trait initialization, to be or not to be
• Science reward values
• Tracker trait incompatibilities

For me

• vary twin weights
• Improve weights and conductivity to be more distinct
• Add more trait hints
• Add ability to negative-check traits in labeler
• Add searching to labeler

Why It's Good For The Game

Improves almost every facet of the artifact experience, for players & coders alike

I know this is going to be slowed down by LINDA, but it looks like he fulfilled all your reviews dragon. Mind reviewing it again?
