Astrobiology

Astrobiology:

NOTE: The terminology in this page is very rough and much of it is still incomplete. However, if you have played the game for a little while, you will understand what the terminology refers to. Spoilers ahead!

(A) Alchemical Research

(S) Survival Research

(D) Dissection Research

You will need to have crafted and placed an autopsy table, as well as crafted a Snakeweed Rope to begin dissection.

Introduction

To get started you will need to examine any monster corpse in order to unlock the Exopathology research. Exopathology will allow you to create an Autopsy Table. You will also need the Snakeweed Bending Research to unlock the Snakeweed Rope. The first time that you preform an autopsy incorrectly you will unlock the Methodical Postmortem research. This research allows you to make a single mistake per autopsy without ruining the corpse.To begin dissection, you will need to use a Snakeweed Rope to drag corpses to the Dissection Table. Left click on the corpse with the Snakeweed Rope selected in the hotbar. You will then drag the corpse as you move. Left click on the Dissection Table with the corpse still being dragged, which will place the corpse on the Dissection Table. You can now begin the dissection process by clicking on the dissection table.

For the following species, click on the parts of the corpse to dissect that part. Not following the specific procedure in the specific order below will cause the corpse to be destroyed and may have other affects, as well as requiring the player to find another specimen.
