I want my artifact!
« on: March 20, 2010, 09:06:41 pm »


So, I had a bunch of useless artifacts...where useless is defined as anything not a weapon or armor. They were all tables and doors. So I'm going to make a WONDERFUL dining room. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out where my artifact door is. I thought I had placed it, but when I look at it its a regular door. And the door isn't in the list of doors.

How do I find my door?

Maybe you accidentally built it somewhere.

If it's an artifact, it should have a name instead of just "[rock] door."

I found it. Apparently when artifact doors are placed as doors, the game just identifies them as regular doors. I had to deconstruct it to find out which one it was.

When you look at a built piece of furniture with (q), it will merely identify it as (material) (furniture).  You need to look at the contents with (t) to see the artifact name.

Alternatively, you could have located it in Z-Stocks and [z]oomed to it.
