Is there anyway to force artifact containers to respawn?
Command? Mod? .ini? It is singleplayer.

I want them to respawn in their locations in caves not the commands to spawn them anywhere.
Sometimes even after waiting 30min in their spawn location they don't appear there...

edit:
If anyone wants more info:
No mods currently, The Island, default world settings, I didn't mess with .ini

Artifact boxes? Do you mean Loot/supply crates? or do you mean the artifact boxes that contain the dossier's?

I mean artifact boxes that contain artifacts.

Yeah...you mean Loot Crates. It calls them that right in the description you just listed..."They can be found in a loot-crate at the end of the cave". Leave the area if it doesn't respawn shortly and then come back. They always respawn for me within about 10 minutes or so.

not sure the value of upping there artfact spawn to be honest seeing how they can only be held 1 at a time.

For me they don't respawn properly...
I can even explore whole cave and no success :/

I gave link to show what's the artifact, because you have asked about dossiers :D (It was odd)

I don't remember their ingame name I have used just "box" in the general ;D
And this game doesn't have other artifacts anyway.
+ This site likes to be outdated ;d I didn't even read the info on top, just the names of artifacts

edit:
In my ARK their containers are called just "artifact" and in some cases "chest/crate with artifact" (chest/crate because both can be translated to this word)

In command they are
summon artifactcrate_1_c

Maybe try reinstalling your game. They always respawn for me. And I know what an artifact is, I was clarifying what you meant by artifact box, because they are called lootcrates and they respawn on their own. The boxes that hold the dossiers and survivor notes don't respawn so I thought maybe you meant those. Either way, I don't see any command to respawn them manually, but maybe there is one that I'm not familiar with.

Just set my ARK to english and they aren't lootcrates :)
No idea about SE artifacts since I don't have DLC but other artifacts are either "Artifact" or "Artifact Container", none of them is lootcrate ;d

Gonna update OP and change box into container so people understand

Yes they are. That is what the spinning thing you get the artifact out of in the caves is called. Look at the link you sent me about artifacts. The first two sentences of that desciption are as follows..."Artifacts are special items in ARK: Survival Evolved that can be found in Caves around the ARK. They can be found in a LOOT-CRATE at the end of the cave, and obtaining them can be fairly dangerous." I copied that right out of your link.

Maybe you're thinking about an older build of the game. In the game I'm playing they're called Artifact Containers and look like the artifact they contain rather than the generic diamond shaped Lootcrate. I've seen people on youtube grabbing artifacts from normal lootcrates in older patch versions of the game but that no longer represents how things are.

Just look it up in the wiki. Seach artifact and the first couple of lines explain where you get an artifact. It says its' in a loot crate.

The artifacts do not spawn properly in single player. Its a long known issue and more than likely is not going to get a pass to fix any time soon.

You then either need to choose to spawn them as needed or use a mod that crafts them(and other boss/ascension required materials such as Souq Table:

Since they fixed commands I think I will stay with them
summon artifactcrate_1_c
summon artifactcrate_2_c
...
summon artifactcrate_10_c
summon artifactcrate_11_c

All the erroneous posts?....yes I've read them. That's why I was giving my feedback. But it looks like the OP has had his questions answered so I will leave the discussion. Have a good one all. Bye.
