Description
Features:
With Artifacts & Ruins Enhanced artifacts become researchable and will no longer easily reveal which artifact you're currently dealing with when you find them. To figure out what you're dealing with, you either have to observe its effects or research it at a research station. Researching artifacts can gain you new and interesting technologies to play around with.

Ruins are also reworked with more challenges, modules and loot. They will no longer be destructible and will always contain at least 1 artifact. Unidentified serums and alien circuitry can be found as additional loot to make the traveling there more worthwhile, but they've also become more dangerous! If you've played with "Ruins Enhanced" you're already familiar with the modules as I got permission to use them. Adjustments were made to make certain doors no longer shut in your face unless a monster is fighting you to hinder your escape and some other minor tweaks.

Gameplay:
Here's a list of the overal gameplay aspects:
  • Artifacts
    Can be researched on a research station with alien circuitry. Researching will reveal what artifact you're dealing with.
    Researching already known artifacts generates an unkown serum inside the artifact.
    Can be sold both unidentified and identified. Identified artifacts are worth a lot more.
    Military and research merchants are the most interested in these and will pay you more.

  • Serums
    Will not reveal their effects until researched. Can be researched at a research station with stabilozine. They either unlock new technology or give you negative genetics effects.
    Can only be sold when identified.
    Military and research merchants are the most interested in these and will pay you more.

  • New Technologies
    Unlock recipes for new items by injecting a serum and craft them at the new research workbench which itself can be crafted at a regular fabricator.

    Here is a list of currently unlockable technologies:
    - Artifact Containment
    - Gene Cleansing
    - Living Metal
    - Stasis
    - Teleportation

Compatibility and other Info/Patches:
This mod is semi-compatible with other artifact mods.
Artifacts from other mods can still spawn just fine and work as intended, however the gameplay aspect of this mod does not extend to those artifacts from other mods, meaning you can't research those artifacts, they look different and their names will be visible.

@ZyreX, @NikraloW: Seems like I need to tinker with the spawn chances of the artifacts that provide more use. I guess there's just too many artifacts that currently only provide the generic knowledge serum so the more interesting ones are too rare...
NikraloW 27 Aug @ 8:40am 
I scanned about 30 different serums. I've seen almost all the possible negative effects, and I've also received AS MANY as 6 FUCKING KNOWLEDGE SERUMS ABOUT ARTIFACT STORAGE. I WANT TO FIND AT LEAST ONE NEW ONE, BUT ALL I GET AFTER HOURS OF GRINDING IS A FUCKING KNOWLEDGE SERUM ABOUT ARTIFACT STORAGE.
I'm tired, boss :cozypoevaal:

@_]|M|[_: I'm really looking forward to the patch! Thanks for the answers.:captainsmooth:

@JoYo: Ah ok I completely forgot that patch... But you should be able to just place Artifacts and Ruins Enhanced above all the Immersive Repairs stuff and it should work just fine.

@ZyreX: You need to research the muting artifact to get its serum, then create the antidote from it.

@Chasquis: It overrides the circuitry to adjust where and how much it spawns and it overrides the power cells to adjust how they recharge.
Chasquis 23 Aug @ 7:57am 
Presumably this mod overrides simple items like alien circuitry and alien power cells to add them to a new ruin loot table? Or something like that? I'm realizing that three of my mods override alien power cells and am adjusting the order based on what the cell override does in each of them.

how to cure muting influence?
JoYo 11 Aug @ 5:32am 
@_]|M|[_: I am using your original immersive repairs mod and your Immersive Repairs - NT Cybernetics Compatibility Patch.

@Hyacinth, @Cold Bean Sand: I'll check on the artifact holders again to hopefully figure out why they're acting strangely now.

@Adambaked: Happens when another mod is placed above this mod in your load order that also overrides the research bench. Make sure to place this mod above any mod that overrides the research bench.

@bdrakey1: Find and research the cleansing artifact to turn it into a calibrated version at the research workbench to use inside a machine in some alien ruins to fully cleanse your character of any permanent and temporary debuffs.

@JoYo: Immersive Repairs doesn't override the research terminal tho. There must be something else causing the issue or are you using a custom version of Immersive Repairs perhaps?
Cold Bean Sand 10 Aug @ 2:58am 
having an issue where artifact recovery missions will spawn the artifact "outside" of the artifact holder, making it nearly impossible to actually grab. (the holder's interaction box mostly overlaps on top of the artifact). Weird since other artifacts that aren't for the mission seem to have no issue.
