How much do Artifact Effects stack?

[Fried Noodles]

If you have an Artifact, like the 'Compass' that says it provides 'Maximum' Physical Protection... Is that the most Physical Protection you can get from your artifacts?

Would also equipping artifacts that offer Medium or Small amounts of Physical Protection help? Or be pointless?

[Coolverine]

Not too sure but I have 3 Compass's and haven't really noticed much difference between having 1 equipped vs 2 or 3. I think there's a cap on damage reduction though, or so I've heard from another thread.

endurance definitely stacks

Artefact effect DO NOT stack ! If you have something giving a "maximum" effect, you cannot go higher than that. It will only apply the highest value.

For example, if you equip a Medium AND a small physical protection = MEDIUM is going to be the actual value.

2 Thunderberries make difference.
3 Thunderberries make no difference than 2.
All my artifact loadouts were:
2 Thunderberries if possible, 1 Compass, 1 Hyper Cube and Weird Water. Everything else switching with Hyper Cube on occasion.
Once you get acustomed to Weird Water, you never take it off unless you mod the game to carry 400 kg weight.

So far i've understood they all stack until you max out.
Like your resistance bars, once you hit full 5 segments, you're at the cap.
If you weak 5 weak or 3 + good armor or just 1 max doesn't matter (idk if those numbers hit the max).

I have two 'Medium' Carry Weight artifacts equipped and those ones definitely stack.
It's much easier to tell with Carry Weight as there's a number I can actually see increasing.

-Carry weight is cumulative, but 140kg is the stack.

-Compass artifact is equal to ONE part of physical protection bar. ("maximum" buff value is actually set to one notch of the bar). So, for example: SEVA I armor (three part of the bar) needs TWO Compass. Falcon suit (four part of the bar) needs ONE Compass. Exosuit doesn't needs Compass (it's already close five for five).

-Liquid Rock is the same: "maximum" nuclear buff is one part of five (but if you'll have lead container and Weird Water the liquid rock will be useless).

-Thunderberry stack is TWO.

-Hypercube stack is ONE.

Thank You! @Kentucky Dam, legend!

I would really like some sort of display of the characters net (armor plus artifacts) resistances.

I do know the Nightstar stacks but, idk if other artifacts do.
