Artifact Setting

I’m ignorant about how difficult this would be but could there be a way to implement a way to adjust the prevalence of artifacts like anomalies. I think a lot of people would enjoy having this setting.

If you are talking about how many anomalies should appear, there is already a setting for that in your galaxy setup before starting a game.

You can change <Weight>22</Weight> for <InternalName>GiveCreditsArtifact</InternalName> in AnomalyDefs.xml  to weight of 1 with a mod.  This is the anomaly that gives 10% of your current treasury as the reward. 

Alternately you can change

SpecialValue>
            <Special>PercentOfFactionCredits</Special>
            <ValueParam>0.1</ValueParam>
          </SpecialValue>

to reduce % of treasury awarded.

Guys, I think he mean the "Retribution Artifact" stuff that you found on the planet. I would like the option for them as well since you find one every two or three planet. It is madness. I would set them to "None" because they aren't balance at all. The +10,000 influences is just a big middle-finger with no counter.

I am speaking to the artifacts you find on the worlds,  I wish they had a slider like anomalies. I feel a lot of people would like this slider.

I like the artifacts yes some are incredibly OP but I wish I could set them to rare so more regular resources would spawn on worlds because this I always seem to have a problem with.

And some of them are outright worthless. +25 social construction? Holy hell, if it is +2,500 then we can talk. Heartstone is just bollock. If you have one at the start, just colonize any planet near your enemy and they can do nothing about it. Same goes for when they doing it to you. It fun for the first few time but when the "New and cool" wearing off then they aren't fun anymore. Artifacts are like Mercs just ramp it up to 22.

I’m ok with some lesser powered artifacts in the mix also some of the sting is taken out of hearthstone on much bigger maps. What would be truly amazing is if we could select certain artifacts not to appear and certain techs.

Artifact prevalence slider. Excellent.

Artifact prevalence slider that also allows you to exclude artifacts. Fucking Amazing and I preorder the founders edition of GC4 the day it hits market. Also love from numerous other players. Again I’m ignorant of how hard this would be to do. But I think the goodwill you guys would get from it would be worth it.

artifact slider at game setup would be good for me.  There are always too many.
