Acquisition
Fairly rare, it'll pop up as loot with other artifacts or from vendors, whether it's a new or continued game. Craftable by tinkers if Argyve deigns you worthy. Wish for 'xyloschemer' if yer a "want it now" person.
Usage
Activate the xyloschemer in your inventory, select 'scheme' to enter the plotting view.
Move the cursor around with your mouse or numpad, hit H for contextual instructions.
When you're satisifed with your scheming, hit escape to end, walk up to your blueprints and interact with them using space.
S' a 'build all' option in there if you use Ctrl + space.
(Possessing a xyloschemer also gives you a key-bindable activated scheming ability)
