![]() Found in a shipwreck off the Greek island of Antikythera, buried under 45 meters of water it was designed to calculate astronomical positions. The Antikythera mechanism has been labeled the first mechanical computer. The hammer is now an exhibit in the so-called Creation Evidence Museum, which is also kind of unfortunate, because curators don’t allow scientific tests on the London Hammer.ĪDVERTISEMENT The Antikythera mechanism – a Greek ancient computer In fact, radiocarbon is yet to be undertaken for the hammer itself, which bring a significant question mark for the date of the hammer. The only proposed explanation is that the highly soluble minerals in the ancient limestone may have formed a concretion around the object, thus making it seem that it is as old as the minerals themselves, but this has not been confirmed. However, there is significant reason to question the initial dating - and just because the hammer was encased in old rocks doesn’t mean that it itself is as old as the rocks. Pictures from here, copyright David Lines The hammer’s head, made of more than 96% iron, is far more pure than anything nature could have achieved without an assist from technology. Creationists, of course, were all over this, and creationist Carl Baugh latched on to the hammer in the eighties, even using it as the basis of speculation of how the atmospheric quality of a pre-flood earth could have encouraged the growth of giants. Apparently, it’s so old that a section of the handle has begun the transformation to coal. Origins - Introduced a way to exchange artifacts.There is some question regarding that dating though, but here’s the kicker – according to initial measurements, the hammer itself turned out to be more than 500 million years old.Beyond - Hidden changes: DropWeight property values changed for Excavated Bones and Salvaged Scrap.The information panels are colour coded by rarity and an additional icon indicates its purpose. Hidden changes: The specified base value ranges of all types are multiplied by 1.15, this total value is indicated on the information panel of each artifact. Visions - Added Excavated Bones and Salvaged Scrap.Due to this both the modifier and the value were regenerated as well. The value range were changed for the rare type of Delicate Flora (FARM), previously it was possible to reach a maximum value of 20,000,000. Hidden changes: Names were regenerated by either adding or taking away prefixes, but other data were unchanged. Abyss - Added Aquatic Treasure and Terrifying Sample. ![]() Artifacts can be named the same, but their identification numbers, modifiers and descriptions will be different.Biological Sample, Delicate Flora (PLNT), Fossil Sample, Historical Document, Lost Artifact and Unearthed Treasure with the same identification number have the same age related modifier and the same value.Delicate Flora (FARM) and Delicate Flora (PLNT) use the same name generation, therefore they have the same naming order.Presumably more categories were planned before the release of NEXT, but scrapped and these were combined into one. Delicate Flora consist of two separate categories (with FARM and PLNT denotations as per the extracted MBIN file).The modifier and value ranges are extracted from the 1.77 version of PROCEDURALPRODUCTTABLE.MBIN game file.Note: The specified base value ranges of all types are multiplied by 1.15, this total value is indicated on the information panel of each artifact. There is no correlation between the modifier and the value, both are randomly chosen within their ranges. The table shows the modifier and value ranges for each artifact type. Note: This table is incomplete, please help expanding it. The three primary sources are Large Artifact Crates, missions from the Mission Board, and Frigate expeditions. The table shows the possible sources for each artifact type. The Artifact Exchange Vault can be used at Colossal Archive buildings to exchange blue (uncommon) artifacts for purple or yellow (rare) artifacts of greater value. The Artifact Research project welcomes any discovery to be documented. They have no additional purpose beside selling them at Galactic Trade Terminals or to NPCs. Artifacts aka Relics are procedurally generated products that can be received from various activities throughout the gameplay.
