Excavation never ending

[Viperion13]

It gives me a 90 day count down and then keeps repeating... never ending archeological dig.

That's how the system works. Depending on your scientist's skill and the digsite's difficulty, they'll keep rolling to gain progress in the excavation. If the digsite is out of their league it can take many "rounds" to make progress.

There is also the chance to lose your scientist if they suck. Already lost 2 on the first dig site lol.

The results from dig sites are not always positive. Just hope you don't get the one I had from first dig site. It effectively ended the campaign as I was nowhere near ready to deal with it.

I had an empire next to me do a dig site and uncovered an ether drake named Shard. So now his home planet is quarantined until someone can deal with it. This is like 30 years into the game and he had no colonies or much expansion.

If you have an army in orbit, it'll sometimes protect the scientist and give you extra clues as a result.

I had one event where the dig trigger some defenses, but a "nearby escort team" or something like that helped resolve the situation.
