I really liked the idea of surveying moons to find enigmatic Endless techs/ ancient buildings. I found the actual discoveries to be slightly stale though. Temples that give you a 10% bonus to industry are beneficial, but not necessarily cool, or immersive.



I'd like to see the developers eventually add on some more possibilities in this area. I think it's a cool concept, but it could be taken further.



More Possible Finds



1. Endless technology that isn't a part of the researchable tree.

2. An ancient military cache, or perhaps even an ancient ship that can be restored via production.

3. Shield generator, or weapon on the moon that increases invasion defence, or acts as a defensive weapon.

4. Ancient tech that terraforms the moon's planet to a beneficial type (terran, jungle,ocean etc.), but cannot be reproduced.

5. Negative finds. (e.g. a WMD that turns your planet into an asteroid field unless you can allocate enough in-system research to stop it)

6. Untapped resources. (Strategic, luxury, or perhaps an undiscovered element used by the endless is...well...discovered)

7. A superior hero that has been kept alive cryogenically....or...perhaps... carbonite anyone?

... And after another boring moon survey... - OMG!!! That's no moon. It's a space station.
