Tips for Safe Artifact Extraction

Artifacts are heavy physical items. Upgrade your Grabber Capacity Mk3 before attempting extraction so you can carry them through narrow cavern tunnels without dropping them into lava pits.

Placing an artifact onto your base's Relic Altar creates an active aura field that boosts the production speed of all nearby machines by +15%.
