Ohhhh that's really fast. I will implement this to the mod later. Thanks a lot.

Honestly, it's hard to know what it will look like in game, since I'm not testing these things out, I'm just trying to clean up the writing itself. Is there a testing tool or something like that which makes that part easier? I'd hate to turn in bad work because I couldn't see what it will look like in game :P

@Hyomoto
Go to:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\281990\1993869579\common\decisions

Remove 'always = no' line (line no.9 of the file)
Then you should be able to open dig site selector decision on planet (not sun) located within your empire's border.

Ah, interesting. Thank you.

Alright, yes, I did find some mistakes. In the future I do not want to constantly post corrections, nor do I imagine you want to keep up with them :D So, I will wait until I've tested them out better and are happy with the results. I noticed you also have a document on the translations themselves. I do not want to change the content of these stories, but some of the translations are a bit nonsensical, context lost in translation I assume.

Therefore, my style is that these logs are written by excavators, scientists and researchers. They give us a glimpse into the breakthroughs and theories of the situation at hand. A long time ago I used to write for a MUD called "Accursed Lands," and they were very adamant that you should never tell the reader what they feel: let the writing allow them to feel what they want. So, I've tried to preserve the tension and intent of reveal, but allow the player to make of them what they wish. Anyways, I hope that explains my stylistic choices and why I make changes. Here is a finished When the World Sings:

### Archaeology: When the world sings

ASPmod.1.name:0 "When the World Sings"
ASPmod.1.desc:0 " We've discovered something odd about §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. Observations from orbit did not reveal anything physically exceptional, but we've picked up a continuous sound with specific periods and pitch, and which can be heard anywhere on the planet.\n\n This planet is apparently full of music... or something that sounds like music. Whatever it is, listeners describe feeling "very comfortable" and call it "exceptionally pleasing."\n\nWe will need more time to investigate this "§Hmusic.§!""
ASPmod.2.name:0 "Source of the Music"
ASPmod.2.desc:0 " The music is originating from ruins scattered across the planet. While these ruins did not house their builders as we expected, they are home to clusters of living organisms similar to tunicates who produce sound via organs acting like vocal cords. The music on this planet is composed by singing invertibrates!\n\n While unexpected and beautiful, we are left with many more questions: where did the ruin-builders go? Did they also create these organisms? What is the purpose of this melody?\n\nFurther excavation is needed."
ASPmod.3.name:0 "Planet-Scale Research Project"
ASPmod.3.desc:0 " We have found evidence that §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! was used to conduct a planet-scale research project. Data compiled from the various ruins has provided some explanation of the ruin-builders intentions, but disturbingly little else. We now know they had comprehensive talents for genetic engineering and neuroscience, and that the ruins were facilities for that research. From what we've been able to translate, their research sought"§HAscension§!" and "§HTranscendence§!". Our best interpretation, however, is they obsessed over the concept of "§HBlooming.§!" It is unclear from the state of the ruins and planet whether their research was successful.\n\nWe will continue to study this "§HBlooming§!.""
ASPmod.4.name:0 "The Blooming Project"
ASPmod.4.desc:0 " Further analysis of data collected in the research facilities has led to another breakthrough: the "§HBlooming§!" project. The ruin-builders were researching an artificially created gestalt consciousness, a form of life they saw as their pinnacle of evolution. They believed a single, unified mind would abolish conflict and lead their society into a new enlightenment. Their approach focused around growing shared neural connections via gene therapy... with each other.\n\n Apparently, they also succeeded: the "§HBlooming§!" project was carried out by infecting their atmosphere with a delivery retrovirus. The virus itself seems to have died out, but, given the lack of other inhabitants, it is reasonable to assess it affected their entire population and the organisms singing in the ruins are what became of the ruin-builders.\n\n Further study is required to validate this hypothesis."
ASPmod.5.name:0 "The Gestalt Consciousness"
ASPmod.5.desc:0 " Further research into the singing organisms has shown the ruin-builders were successful building their gestalt consciousness... to some degree. The "singing" is a shared vocal synchronization of their internal neural state, and fully aligned. These organisms are in a verifiable hivemind. We, therefore, and based on what we can observe, must conclude the "§HBlooming§!" project produced the intended results.\n\n However, more in-depth studies of their nervous responses and processes indicate this gestalt consciousness is reporting a single, powerful emotion: pain. Without the original retrovirus or specie, it is impossible to know if something went wrong before or after the project completed. However, the vocalizations coming from these organisms is not a song:\n\n§RIt is a unified, harmonious scream.§!"

ASP_screaming_planet_desc:0 "What happened on this planet should be a lesson to us all. Nothing can save those organisms, a once a promising specie, who now live in endless agony emitting a single, unified scream."

Oh, and one question: I couldn't find AASPmod.1.desc:0 in game. Like, I couldn't find where in the game this description comes up. Do you know where those descriptions are used?

@Hyomoto
If you mean "ASPmod.1.desc", it is located inside of ASP_site_events_samchigui.txt file in event folder.

I mean, where in the game does that particular piece of text show. I checked the situation log, hovered over the excavation, etc... but I just never found a place where that piece of text shows. So, I did my best to write it according to context, but I wasn't able to see where it was in game to know that it was good.

It's like, the game seems to use the shorter site_ASP_when_the_world_sings_intro:0 instead.

@Hyomoto
When colony is established, and at least 2 years are passed, there is a chance that 'When the world sings' dig site can be spawned in the colony by 'Planet Event'. 'ASPmod.1.desc' is description text for that event.

Ah! Thank you.

Great work so far

### Archaeology: A Bedroom Planet
site_ASP_a_bedroom_planet:0 "Bedroom Planet"
site_ASP_a_bedroom_planet_intro:0 " A large number of abandoned structures have been found on §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. These buildings are highly sophisticated and designed to efficiently meet the survival needs of their inhabitants. Unexpectedly, they also happen to be filled with the corpses of those inhabitants.\n\nFrom what we've been able to piece together, this specie relied entirely upon these vast automation systems for their survival. Their subsequent deaths, coincidentally, appear to have been caused by the widespread failure of those systems. In fact, most of these buildings are dwellings devoid of other apparent functions. It's like a massive assisted living complex.\n\n We discovered a few industrial and military installations among the vast array of automated buildings, but the ratio of dwellings to infrastructure suggests this group relied near-exclusively on external support for survival.\n\nWe'll keep digging and see what else we can come up with."
ASPmod.10.name:0 "Ground Survey"
ASPmod.10.desc:0 " In addition to minimal infrastructure, the inhabitants of this planet had little-to-no signs of economic activity either. Wreckage from orbital elevators and space station debris across the planet surface supports our theories that the inhabitants relied heavily upon, if not entirely, imports of food and other consumer goods. The only real activity they seem to have been involved in was lichen cultivation. Facilities were also uncovered in the central areas of their residences; perhaps these lichens were part of their diet or entertainment?\n\n Regardless, the characteristics of this cultivation are inconsistent with the planetary ecosystem, suggesting it is non-native. Even more confusingly, these systems are completely isolated from the outside environment to a degree of fanatic paranoia. These spaces have been exceptionally well secured, but, unlike the residences, there are no traces of the actual lichens that were being cultivated.\n\n Further investigation will be required."
ASPmod.11.name:0 "The Ranches"
ASPmod.11.desc:0 " We've pieced together a more complete picture of the fate of the inhabitants of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. The resident facilities only provide for survival because that is all they were designed to do. This planet was dedicated to the industry of ranching cattle, and the specie we found was being raised presumably as that food source. We suspect the odd lichen facilities were the residences and control centers of their owners, and that we incorrectly assumed the role of rancher and livestock. However, we do know the livestock species died out because these automated systems were purposefully turned off.\n\n It is a bit horrifying, a species closely resembling our own serving as a §Ydelicious delicacy§! for some unknown alien. Thankfully there is nothing in our records about a lichen-like civilization that eats people. Nonetheless, based on the size of the ranch, we can safely posit there was a massive demand for §Ylivestock§! raised in this facility: their empire would have been quite large.\n\n It's uncomfortable, but, given the similarities between our species, these spaces could be refurbished to make comfortable residences for our own people."
ASPmod.11.option:0 "As long as we aren't eating them."

d_ASP_a_bedroom_planet_deposit_desc:0 "Removing the "processing" equipment, bodies, and cultivation facilities makes for some spacious and comfortable housing. The new inhabitants will never know that this facility produced livestock."

Here is A Bedroom Planet. I don't want to change the original intention of the author, but I did adjust the ending slightly. I have preserved the intent and reveal, but edited it to be a bit less direct and a little more open to interpretation. I suppose from certain interpretations there is nothing wrong with the original ending, but it creates some continuity issues with Stellaris overall. Ultimately this is archaeology: even with super-advanced science, some mysteries will always remain. I bring this up because if it is considered too taboo, I can rewrite it to preserve the original text better, but I have to admit to taking a little extra liberty with this one.

I guess it's okay. I will apply your translations to the mod later. Thank you as always.

When the archaeological team discovered the machine, it stopped emitting signals and remained silent. We were not able to analyze its sofware nor its internal structure because of its impenetrable exterior, but fortunately, the archaeological team recorded the last signal of the machine.\n\n §YIt's time for the intellects of the Empire to gather.§!"

Our chief researcher has just found a clue on how to decode it.\n\n §HThis password is music!§!\n\n A code composed of numerous scales was being sent into space. Music made with a cipher of sound scales, instrument vibrations, waveforms, etc would not be more beautiful than this music; no music in the universe can be more beautiful than this music.\n\n It's not just about the beauty that this music has. When this music is played, the laws of thermodynamics are ignored. In other words, entropy seems to reverse. It's literally a life-giving piece of music played in the early part of the universe!\n\n We don't know who got the machine to send out a signal of music, nor for what purpose, but this discovery gave us a glimpse into the secrets of the universe. We have not yet named this beautiful music, but it would be an honor for all of us to give it a new name."

ASPmod.30.desc:0 " Our archaeological team has sent in their report from §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. According to the findings, all the civilizations that once flourished on this planet seem to have collapsed in just one night. A giant meteorite hit the planet, turning it into a hellscape in just a few hours. The discovery of a huge city buried beneath the crater suggests that the civilization that once lived here was very materialistic and possessed intelligence. Furthermore, based on primitive forms of satellites in low orbit around the planet, it is believed that they reached the early space age.\n\n At the same time, we found records of a song that was often sung. Although we initially didn't know what it meant, our researchers were able to translate one of the most repetitive words in the song.\n\n The word is "§HDawn Star§!.""

But there was some success in translating this song."
ASPmod.32.name:0 "Second Phrase"
ASPmod.32.desc:0 " Archaeologists report that they have found decisive clues in the archaeological investigation of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§!. It appears that they made a desperate effort to avoid the extinction of their civilization before the meteorite fell. Since they observed the meteorite, a huge amount of records have been found, all saying that they tried to stop it.\n\n But all the efforts to destroy the meteorite with weapons, including nuclear missiles, or even change the trajectory of the meteorite, went unsuccessful. They were unable to prevent their destruction with their own strength, and realized that a bright star in the night sky was a disaster that would lead them to an end.\n\n They eventually started building huge escape ships to keep only a small number of people alive. Huge spaceships have been found all over the planet to carry as many people as possible, and most of them seem to have come to an end without even launching. Realizing that only a limited number of people could survive, people flocked to the ship, and force was used to control them.\n\n But those who wanted to survive the end of their world were equally desperate to seize the spacecrafts using force. A relatively undamage device, which was found deep in the excavation site, contained a voice record that gave us a little §Ymore insight§! into the song of the new star, which was being sung by the men who were confronting the spacecraft at that time."

ASPmod.33.desc:0 " The excavation of §Y[From.Planet.GetName]§! is complete. Our archaeologists couldn't find any new scientific discoveries or anything surprising at the excavation site. In fact, their remains were not special. But it's clear that their end will make a deep impression on our archaeologists. They residents seemed to have not given up hope of escape until the effect of the meteorite prevented the spacecrafts from launching. Their obsession with survival was more tenacious and desperate than any other species in the galaxy, but only a small number of escape ships were able to make it. \n\n Other escape ships that didn't leave the planet were attacked and destroyed in an attempt to get their supplies, while other spacecrafts exploded in accidents, drifted endlessly in space due to poor planning, or were completely forgotten. And when the last hope was lost, the citizens were left with despair and helplessness.\n\n From that point on, their communication records were completely cut off, and each region was completely isolated. There may have been communication failures due to the effect of the meteorite, but they didn't communicate with anyone, even if it was possible. They died slowly, but surely, listening to the occasional song of the dawn stars.
