Cleansing Pool question

[Bobert The Kil]

does the cleansing pool even spawn with command artifact on? havent seen one in 2 days, and if it does, can you choose which pearl you get?

Same thing here, was also wondering about being able to choose the pearl

I have not seen any either. I think they are disabled, just like printers.

This Pool is making fun of me.

First of, we had the Artifact of Command enabled, so it had no chance to spawn.
Then I did a "fast" run alone to get Acrid, had 2 Lunar Pods on the Acres, but no Pool.
Now, I have the Artifact of Sacrifice active, so no Pods (chests) are spawning, and look what appears: THE CLEANSING F*KING POOL.

Devs said Command is fine being a "broken" artifact, since it's essentially a cheat code, so it's kinda weird they would stop at thinking Command + cleansing pools is "too much". At least, that's how I'm reading this situation. If I'm using Command, I'm not looking for a fair run to begin with.

To be honest, im still not sure if the pool spawns or not, 30+ hours of gameplay and not a single pool, but the wiki says nothing about it, and even without artifacts on I rarely get any pools.

Well, it's said the spawn rate is around 13% I think, increasing with more people, and when doing the run with the Artifact Command, we were always 3 ppl. Question is, how much does it increase by every additional person.

To add to this forum post, I had spent 60+ hours with the command artifact to try to get the logbooks and challenges, and did not even encounter ONE Cleansing Pool, but the first time I ran without the command artifact, I got the cleansing pool on Scorched Acres. So my conclusion is that it does not spawn as it seems to be a sort of 3D printer, as I also have not seen one of in my 60+ hours of using the command artifact.

So in short, I think the game recognizes the Cleansing pool as a 3D printer for lunar items, and thus will not spawn a 3D printer, since it seems that 3D printers will not spawn with the usage of the Command Artifact.

Hope this answers the question well enough! And have a good one!
