Andy's Recovered Records Restoration

Overview

Every world has a history the game never tells you. Recovered Records Restoration is built on a simple idea from Andy's expeditions: the ruins, sherds, banners, and worn writing scattered across a world are not decoration — they are records waiting to be read.

This addon adds a light but meaningful layer of archaeology on top of survival play. Instead of adding more loot for its own sake, it gives you a reason to slow down, excavate carefully, and reassemble the story of the place you're living in.

Features

• A restoration workflow that turns damaged finds into readable, displayable records.
• New reasons to explore ruins, dig sites, and forgotten structures.
• Display-friendly result items so a base can become a working archive.
• Tuned to feel at home in a long-term survival world, not to overwhelm it.

Gameplay

Excavate and gather fragmentary finds in the world, bring them back to a workspace, and patiently restore them. Restored records can be catalogued and displayed — the goal is a base that reads like a museum of your own playthrough.

Lore

In the Andy The Maker universe, restoration is exactly how the Archives grow. What starts as a broken sherd or a water-stained page becomes, with care, a record worth keeping. This addon brings that same practice into your hands.
