== Archaeologist's Office ==
[[File:ArcheoOfficeOptions.png|right|border|The Archeologists Office Upgrades]]
[[File:Archeologist office icon.png|96px|left|The Archeologists Office]] 

This is a unique [[blueprint]] Viceroys receive when venturing into the Scarlet Orchard. It's a 3x3 Human-themed building.

Construction cost: 2 {{rl|Planks}}, 2 {{rl|Bricks}}, 2 {{rl|Fabric}}. Once the office is built, it cannot be destroyed. 

It can be upgraded in the following ways:
</br></br>
'''LEVEL I''' (Choose 1)</br>
Cost: free
* ''Short-range Scanner'': Reveals the location of the ''nearest'' archeological discovery. Always in a Small [[Glade]].
* ''Carved in Stone'': +10% [[Glade Event]] working speed for every 2 [[Reputation]] Points gained from [[Glade Events]]. (Retroactive)
* ''Ancient Strength'': Scouts carry +4 Items and move 7% faster for every 2 {{rl|Ancient Tablet}}s in the [[Warehouse]].

'''LEVEL II''' (Choose 1)</br>
Cost:</br> 10 {{rl|Amber}}/ 4 {{rl|Tools}}/ 6 {{rl|Pipes}} +</br>
15 {{rl|Planks}}/ 20 {{rl|Scrolls}}/ 20 {{rl|Oil}}/ 20 {{rl|Sea Marrow}}
* ''Mid-range Scanner'': Reveals the location of the ''second nearest'' archeological discovery. Usually in a Dangerous [[Glade]], rarely in Forbidden Glades.
* ''Forbidden Tools'': Every 2 [[Hostility]] levels grant +1 to {{rl|Tools}} production.
* ''Decryption'': -10 [[Hostility]] Points for each {{rl|Ancient Tablet}} in the [[Warehouse]].

'''LEVEL III''' (Choose 1)</br>
Cost:</br> 15 {{rl|Amber}}/ 8 {{rl|Tools}}/ 12 {{rl|Pipes}} +</br>
20 {{rl|Planks}}/ 25 {{rl|Scrolls}}/ 25 {{rl|Oil}}/ 25 {{rl|Sea Marrow}}
* ''Long-range Scanner'': Reveals the location of the ''farthest'' archeological discovery. Usually in a Forbidden [[Glade]], rarely in Dangerous Glades.
* ''Escaping the Shadows'': Any [[villager]] loss will be prevented at the expense of 1 {{rl|Ancient Tablet}}.
* ''Ancient Practices'': +10% chance of double yields for every worker per 2 completed Dangerous or Forbidden [[Glade Event]]s. Clones do not count. (Retroactive)

== Excavation Sites ==
[[File:Different excavations.png|thumb|right|200px|Archaeological Reconstructions]]
There are 3 unique sites of excavation that can be dug up and restored by your [[villagers]]. Each site must be excavated, conserved and then restored. Once restored, it becomes a 9 <span style="color: yellow">Harmony</span> decoration, gives 2 [[Reputation]] Points and a powerful [[Perk]].

These digsites and their requirements can be viewed on [[Glade Events]].

== Strategy ==
* It is possible to narrow down the closest Excavation Site to 1-2 Small [[Glades]]. They are never found in Small Glades directly adjacent to your starting Glade, and there is always a patch of forest between the starting Glade and the Glade with the Excavation. You could also exclude 1-2 Dangerous Glades - the Dangerous Glade excavation can never be found in a Dangerous Glade directly adjacent to the starting Glade.
* Each Excavation Site stage requires a large amount of [[resources]] to solve. It is highly advisable to build a [[Warehouse]] in close vicinity to minimize the time it takes to haul resources to the event.
* Excavation Sites take a long time to solve. [[Glade Event]] work speed increasing [[effects]] can save both time and scout labor. [[Sacrificing]] {{rl|Sea Marrow}} also helps.
* '''Steel Drills''' (+1/2 {{rl|Copper Ore}} production) [[Perk]] is uniquely strong on Scarlet Orchard because of [[ #Trees | Coppervein Trees]]. Same with '''Big Phials''' (+2/3 {{rl|Dye}} production).
* [[ #Archaeologist's Office | Archaeologist's Office]] encourages stockpiling {{rl|Ancient Tablet}}s to scale its '''Ancient Strength''' and '''Decryption''' effects.
* Not being able to source raw food is somewhat common for Scarlet Orchard due to its trees and resource distribution. Invest in farms or a food processing [[building]] to avoid starvation.
* Consider using big {{rl|Stone}} deposits for food if your [[villagers]] are at risk of starvation. 60% chance of bonus food yields combined with {{bl|Stonecutters' Camp}}'s short production cycle will keep villagers fed at least until {{rl|Stone}} nodes run out.
* There are no nodes for {{rl|Jerky}} ingredients in Scarlet Orchard. The only source of protein ingredients for {{rl|Skewers}} outside of byproducts is Thunderfish Ponds. Should you want to produce Jerky on Skewers sustainably, you will have to resort to using {{bl|Ranch}} or delivery lines.
