Q: Artefact Vault - Building it, what does it do?

[MrPeters]

So the Artefact vault in the most eastern part of our start area, I scanned it and after that I could build it but... What does it do? What happens? It also can't be destroyed.

Wait... what? You can construct the artefact vault? erm... that's not how it's supposed to work :D. OK. Apologies.. it does nothing. You're not supposed to be able to construct it... We'll fix that.

However, the point behind artefact vaults is that if you manage to scan them - you get an extra skill point!

heres another odd one, upgrades researshed 3 only 1 is available to buy, tryed traveling around for awhile and then manual save and shutdown game and restarted steam ect still only 1 available to purchase,

when i had bought multy infestructure upgrades i had to manually go into and hit activate on the paused ones they didnt auto continue after the last one completed. also one of them the tgate one was stuck at 8% for 6 hours it didnt have a activate option untill i had enough salvage to buy it again, it didnt cost me more salavge to continue it BUT it woulnt let me continue upgradeing untill i had enough resources to buy it again and then the activate button became visable again.

also i fell asleep while testing out the mullty AP paths for about 5-6 hours and i cant even see where i am on the map now lol. any way to get my ship back onto the map or do i just have to travel in one direction all day to get back on ? i cant target the WP its to far away so i have 0 idea how far off the map i am :{ very frustrating lol.

Hey nobrien, are you still lost in space? :D
Sorry, but i haven't heard of anyone falling asleep and falling completely off the map.
The simplest way to get back would be to edit your save file (.sgs) -
if you search "PlayTime:" - right below it should be a "Ship:" section, that's the player's ship. At the line that says "Position:" put this in there: "156280.00 0.00 95556.00"
that should put you somewhere close to headquarters

Btw, we'll check out the construction bugs

[nobrien]

yea i did get back onto the map after hours of flying at the gen dir of the WP over my HQ, i was at the south end of the map and since 9,999,999 is the max range that shows it just took a cpl of hours of sublight 600spd { while doing a few chores } to get back into range, i was still not on the map when anywhere untill 7,600,000 so i did some miles lol.

the plasma turret lvl 2 and 3 showed up now, but the heavy wep fusion torp upgrade req something isnt :{

I found the artifact, i scanned it but don't have the option to repair it..

[kontrec]

You don't repair artifact vaults. You only scan them and receive either a skill point or a perk point.

[Duneman]

Scan it to gain what I call an Artifact Level. You'll want the extra Skill and Perk points they provide. Once in a while an enemy will spawn in once you've scanned them, so if you need to run away it's a good idea to face your ship away from them as you scan and begin leaving the area before the scan completes.
