  • Words can be learned via encounters with alien lifeforms. Making friendly requests of lifeforms upon the space station will often result in learning new words permanently.
  • Words may also be learned from ancient relics, such as Plaques, Ruins and Knowledge Stones.
  • Wander planet surfaces and use the Analysis Visor to create Knowledge Stones. larger sites can be found the same way, but can also be spotted from the air or pinpointed via a map from the Space Station Cartographer.
