Lets start compiling the artifact combos we find so we can perhaps determine when its best to do a 3 combo or to hold onto them. Include the name of the artifact, its origin (Old Earth, Alien, Progenitor), its quality and the resource it gives when converted solo. Please add your results if you get the same end reward but use different name/origin/quality/resource artifacts and the amount of resources in the final combo so we can fully figure out what decides the end reward.
Note: I use bold and italics to differentiate between entries, not to give any specific entry greater importance. Suggestions on formatting are welcome.
Tesseract Targeting: Cities can bombard through terrain obstacles (24 energy 54 science)
Pristine, Polypeptor Organic Antifreeze, Old Earth, 60 Science + Battered, Jelly-Stalk Ring, Alien, 36 Food + Pristine, Jelly Space, Progenitor, 48 Energy 48 Science
Xenoanthropology: Artifacts are discovered 20% more often (31.5 science 9.6 production)
Pristine, Polypeptor Organic Antifreeze, Old Earth, 60 Science + Battered, Jelly-Stalk Ring, Alien, 36 Food + Worn, Tesselation Vault, Progenitor, 38.4 Production 6 Science
Ground Penetrating LIDAR: 100% faster expedition speed (55.5 science 24 energy 9.6 production)
Pristine, Polypeptor Organic Antifreeze, Old Earth, 60 Science + Pristine, Jelly Space, Progenitor, 48 Energy 48 Science + Worn, Tesselation Vault, Progenitor, 38.4 Production 6 Science
Dimension Folding Complex: (Wonder) -50% unhealth from city population (25.5 science 24 energy 9.6 production)
Battered, Jelly-Stalk Ring, Alien, 36 Food + Pristine, Jelly Space, Progenitor, 48 Energy 48 Science + Worn, Tesselation Vault, Progenitor, 38.4 Production 6 Science
Now for some analysis of what I have. First I bring attention to two different results from two different combinations of Old Earth, Alien and Progenitor (Tesseract and Xenoanthro). This is important because it allows us to discard the hypothesis that origin is the sole determinant of the result. That leaves quality, name and resource to consider. I predict that in the end origin and resource are going to be the determinants. Something like this combination of origins pulls from this pool of results with the specific result chosen by the highest two resources provided by the artifacts.
