Phaenna/Infrastructure Index

Main article: Infrastructure Index

Spoiler Warning : This article contains spoilers!

The Infrastructure Index in Phaenna, called the Phaenna Development Initiative in-game, tracks server-wide development of the zone. Progress can be monitored in the official Cosmic Exploration Report website.

Somewhat confusingly, while there are 21 stages of development (i.e. the numbers provided in the Cosmic Exploration Report site), there are only 17 entries in the in-game Development Log that summarizes the stages of zone development. This is because certain Development Log entries may encompass two stages of development. For clarity, all zone development requirements for certain mission unlocks in the wiki refer to the Development Log entry needed, not the stage number given in the Cosmic Exploration Report site.

Development Log

Note: The log numbers listed below do not necessarily correspond to the stage numbers that are listed in the Cosmic Exploration report site, as some development are unlocked after 2 stages of progress since the previous log.

Number	Name	Image	Description	Unlocks
1	Phaenna Beckons		It is with great trepidation that I, the humble Reportingway, record the next momentous hop of our endeavor. I trust my words prove a worthy substitute for the excitement of cosmic exploration itself! Having departed Sinus Ardorum aboard the Galactic Way, we now find ourselves on the glassy wonder that is Phaenna. With its abundance of silicon and tantalizingly unique environment, we had little choice but to select this planet as our first destination! Thanks to the steadfast efforts of our advance party and the base-building techniques we pioneered on the moon, Glassblowers' Beacon already bristles with activity. Of course, we will need plenty more resource shipments before it truly blossoms, but with such committed contributors propelling the initiative forward, the future of the base and our goals beyond is bright indeed!
2	A Growing Glassblowers' Beacon		With the Galactic Way constantly shuttling supplies from Sinus Ardorum, and our ever-dependable contributors striving nigh without cease, Glassblowers' Beacon has certainly begun to shine! Perhaps one of the most striking features of our glorious base is its location: nestled within an extensive cave system providing shelter from the shard showers that rain down upon Phaenna. That being said, the cave does not guarantee complete protection. Indeed, the rocky canopy is riven with yawning gaps that let in light, but also the aforementioned environmental hazards. Thankfully, our engineers are busy crafting a solution─abuzz with excitement as they devise a plan for expansion in harmony with the surrounding terrain!
3	New Frontiers for the Cosmoliner		Work has begun to bring that triumph of lunar locomotion, the Cosmoliner, to the crystalline expanses of Phaenna! The technology was conceived as a reliable mode of transport on distant stars without stable aetheric confluences, and this new frontier represents the Cosmoliner's first concrete test. I understand that our research and engineering crews in particular await this development with bated breath. Unlike our adventurer cohort─who are used to traipsing across adverse terrain both stellar and terrestrial─our scholarly colleagues favor the convenience of a fully functioning transportation network! If all proceeds according to plan, we shall soon be zipping and zooming around the immediate environs of Glassblowers' Beacon.	Cosmoliner extension to northeast part of map
4	For Happier Inhabitants		Phaenna now has its very own habitation module! Compared with accommodations in Sinus Ardorum, these facilities feature more expansive communal areas, and have been designed with the utmost comfort in mind. In fact, from the very outset, no effort has been spared to ensure the well-being of our Etheirys-born contributors on their interstellar sojourn. On this occasion, we sought the opinions of our researchers and engineers regarding their prospective dwellings. The respondents─mostly quartered in makeshift tents at the time─insisted they would be happy so long as they had a decent place to sleep. Interpreting this as a yearning for living space free from unnecessary accoutrements, we ultimately decided to implement a dimensionally reduced design, specially tailored to contributors' preferences!
5	An Ode to Infrastructure		Let the water flow and the power surge, for Phaenna is now replete with energization and hydrofication stations! Much like the rest of the star, Phaenna's water sources are incredibly rich in silicon─a fact which, while fascinating, does not entail ready potability. Fortunately for the initiative, the hydrofication process removes all impurities, leaving nothing but life-sustaining water. Of course, without sufficient power, the hydrofication station would struggle to hydroficate, but with the energization station taking care of our energy needs, we have nothing to fear on that front! With these two vital pillars of infrastructure in place, our exploration can proceed apace!
6	A Place to Rest One's Weary Mech		Our arsenal of mechs continues to prove indispensable here on Phaenna. Indeed, multiple mechs are a must for the ever-expanding initiative, as this insures projects can continue unabated, even when dastardly technical issues strike! When determining where to house such an integral arm of our operation, we had to address a number of logistical concerns, ultimately opting for the present location: centrally positioned, and well protected from the elements. We have high hopes this facility─perfectly optimized for the star─proves a boon to the safety and stability of our mechanized workforce!
7	The Fragile Float		The Cosmoliner now extends ever further, joining together the western and southern banks of the Soda-lime Float! This was no easy feat, however. Initiative researchers theorize that these valleys were carved out by erosion from the liquid glass. As such, the uneven terrain complicated the flow of supplies and workers to the sites in question. We had initially planned to lay Cosmoliner rail with all due haste, but soon realized that the region's fragile surfaces would doubtless buckle under the weight of our facilities. Thus, we deemed it prudent to regroup and seek out stable construction sites before commencing the work in earnest. To wit, we owe the success of this endeavor to our provident engineers and surveyors!	Cosmoliner extension to west and south parts of map New Red Alert (Thunderstorms β)
8	Of Chasm and Crane		Capsule Chasm is as a gaping maw upon Phaenna's surface, where “waterfalls” from the Soda-lime Float tumble from its cliffs. Layers of enormous, colorful clusters piled atop each other over the ages, forming the chasm floor as we now know it. Having been isolated from the rest of the star for so long, we were all but certain a plethora of new discoveries awaited us there! The Appliqué Crane would be our key to unlocking these myriad mysteries. By melding its segments onto sturdy surfaces at the chasm's edges─not unlike a clay appliqué placed onto a work of glass─we could safely descend the cliffs on a path of our own making. Though we faced many a challenge during the descent, our wealth of construction experience from Sinus Ardorum remains an invaluable asset to our success here in Phaenna!	New area (Capsule Chasm) in southeast part of map New Stellar Missions
9	Cosmoliners in the Chasm		Our dream of Cosmoliners at the base of Capsule Chasm is now a breathtaking reality! Of course, manifesting this vision was not without its own challenges. Cluster-laden cliffs and terrain barred our Cosmoliners' paths, making precise coordination between applicable stations─a vital step in this process─much thornier than usual. As we've gleaned from our previous projects, building Cosmoliners on glass ground is less than ideal! But once again, our trials and tribulations in Sinus Ardorum have taught us how to efficiently handle such conundrums! By redoubling our efforts on locating areas where glass and sediment levels were well-balanced, we succeeded in pinpointing stable locations to connect and build each station. I cannot help but beam with pride at the once-insurmountable challenges our initiative can now overcome!	Cosmoliner extension to southeast part of map New Red Alerts (Annealing Winds β, Glass Rain α)
10	Our Shining Beacon		My heart swells as I watch Glassblowers' Beacon grow from a place of necessity to one of comfort... Our base is the embodiment of the initiative's unwavering determination, and I, for one, am eternally grateful for it. But what makes a base “comfortable,” one might ask? This humble writer attributes it to the Beacon's flawlessly placed facilities, each and every one purposely positioned to snugly fit the natural formations within the cave. We couldn't simply build in a tidy little line and call it a day─heavens, no! There was much to consider during construction, from building accessible paths for our mechs to traverse, to wiring and storage for our supplies! I've been privy to countless complaints from our engineers who pioneered this project, and though they may grumble, I am not blind to the glint of satisfaction in their eyes as they recount their struggles and successes. One day, we shall expand the initiative to other stars from this very base...though I suspect that glorious occasion is still quite a ways off. For the present, we must endeavor to grow, and never forget how far we've come!"
11	Upgrading the Hangar		The naturally occurring glass on Phaenna is a most formidable material! While it is, of course, aesthetically pleasing, its durability is nigh unmatched, functioning as an efficient agent for solar energy conversion as well. With it, we've begun plating walls at the base and modified our mech hangar all the while! 'Twould be remiss of me not to note the brilliant collaboration between glasswork specialists from Etheirys and our very own engineers─without whom many of our projects would have proven impossible! But the fruits of their labor are astounding, and we've drastically improved our methods of conserving solar power as a result!
12	The Cosmoport Overhaul		It is my great pleasure to note that we've expanded cosmoport functions...and with it, our aspirations! Round trips to Sinus Ardorum should no longer pose an issue─and we may potentially set our sights even further into the cosmos when the initiative demands it! Our new and specialized energization stations have significantly reduced our vehicles' charging times as well, enabling the efficient and expedient flow of supplies to those who require them! Now, launching and landing from a cave may sound like a hazardous undertaking...and indeed it would be, under normal circumstances! However, I'm told our engineers are hard at work programming detailed takeoff and landing routes for a risk-free automatic piloting system! Reminded of the potential perils involved in manning a starfaring vessel, I am compelled to reflect upon Cruisingway's first landing in Phaenna─her proficiency as a pilot cannot be understated!
13	Mega Panels for Megapower		What fuels our aspirations here in Glassblowers' Beacon? Why, two great megapower panels! The aether conversions of our energization station have been instrumental, of course, but our brand-new panels can efficiently condense light from Phaenna's sun into just the sort of energy we need to power our base. If you stop to count, we have ever so many things that require power here─mechs trundling near and far, facilities that keep us housed and watered. Having more than enough energy is just enough energy, in the humble opinion of this writer. At the very least, I no longer need to fret about my tablet flickering out mid-sentence!
14	Chilling-a-Way the Heat		We have successfully and strategically overcome one of the more punishing environmental challenges here on Phaenna─to wit, the molten glass of Fusingway Vent. This star is possessed of a volatile geothermal signature known to create volcanic craters even in the most unlikely areas. Fusingway Vent is one such example, and it was here that the highly ambitious and experimental Operation Chilling-a-Way was executed. Thanks to our brave contributors (and a mobilization station full of coolant-toting drones), we managed to ethically freeze safe passage across the flows of molten glass. Once an angry red, the glass in question has hardened to a beautiful pale blue, not unlike the color of the Soda-lime Float. As our drones can now tend to any further chilling we require, our explorers are free to survey the unique and perplexing environment of Fusingway Vent without the threat of burnt toes or singed tails. I, for one, am eager to know what they discover about the fundamental workings of this fascinating planet!
15	The Cosmoliner: Ventpipe Filigree		The Cosmoliner has been safely extended into Fusingway Vent, completing the full circuit of our transport and providing easy access to every corner of Phaenna! We deployed the drones from Operation Chilling-a-Way to ensure the ground was fully solidified before beginning construction. Rest assured that the Ventpipe Filigree will carry you safely through the volcanic crater without dropping you into piping hot glass! Our Cosmoliner may seem humble compared to our contributors' many modes of travel, but it is a triumph born of our engineers' skill and ingenuity. With no little pride do I encourage all our explorers to make use of this convenient and exhilarating public transportation!
16	Phaenna Stellascope		Feast your eyes upon the ultimate addition to Glassblowers' Beacon: an astrological telescope made from Phaenna's unique glass! The Phaenna Stellascope is capable not only of enhancing images of faraway stars, but also estimating the density of celestial currents surrounding them. As the initiative's primary goals are to discover intelligent life and alien civilizations, our astronomers are already hard at work analyzing the findings of our truly gargantuan telescope! With construction completed, we have achieved all that we intended to develop upon this star. We owe all our accomplishments to the many contributors, specialists, and researchers that have worked tirelessly to see our dreams fulfilled. On behalf of the entire initiative, I extend to you my most profound thanks!
17	Beholding the Heavens		The Galactic Way sits upon the cosmoport, awaiting the discovery of another eligible star. That her maiden voyage brought us here, to this planet of glass, feels like nothing less than providence. After all, it was by Phaenna's particular boons that we were able to polish and refine the grand lens of our telescope, a curious eye seeking bounties anew. Regardless of where our next leap lands, I can say with certainty that our band of merry dreamers has proven its mettle as an initiative of indefatigable explorers. And yet, our journey leads on. This step outside Etheirys's star system necessitates another, and until the day of our next departure, we shall keep our gaze fixed upon the heavens.
