All Architect Artifacts and Bases Location – Steam Solo (2024)

Architect Artifacts is a collective term for notable pieces of architecture or technology left behind by The Architects. Once Al-An has been transferred into Robin’s mind, he will begin to give the player signals leading to Artifacts. As more artifacts are scanned, the player will unlock Blueprints for Alterra-Architect hybrid technology and pings/hints to important Architect Bases. The blueprint unlocked depends on the amount of artifacts scanned, with the tiers being as follows:

(1/15) – Sanctuary Zero Location (After getting S.O.S)

Shows location of the Sanctuary Zero to player.

(2/15) – Unlocks Quantum Locker

The Quantum Locker is a deployable storage container, similar to the Waterproof Locker. It is crafted using the Fabricator. All Quantum Lockers share the same contents. The Quantum Locker can be placed in the ocean and on land, but it cannot be placed inside of Seabases. When placed on land it floats above the ground, and floats in place when placed in the water.

(3/15) – Deep Lilypads Cave Cache Location

Shows location of the Deep Lilypads Cave Cache to player.

(4/15) – Unlocks Recyclotron

The Recyclotron is a buildable Seabase Module that can break apart most inserted items into their crafting components. To use it, objects are placed into it in a similar manner to a storage device, then once the “Recycle” button is pressed the player can retrieve the broken-down materials.The Recyclotron will recycle items according to their recipes, for example, a Flashlight will give the player one Glass and one Battery. Lifeforms cannot be recycled in the Recyclotron. Batteries, Power Cells, Ion Batteries, and Ion Power Cells can only be recycled when fully charged. Depleted Reactor Rods cannot be recycled.

The area leading up to the Cube Room is a large cavern with several bridges, one of which has been destroyed by a large boulder. Water can be seen leaking from the top of the cavern. At the far end of the cavern is a corridor Leading up to the Cube Room. Sanctuary Zero is a location that Robin Ayou visits while she is stranded in Sector Zero. After receiving an Alien Transmission from the Sanctuary, Robin attempts to locate the facility and discover the source. When Robin enters the facility, she encounters Al-An. An announcement from the Sanctuary reveals that the facility’s power is low, and that Al-An will die if not removed from the Sanctuary. Robin attempts to save Al-An by downloading him onto her PDA, but accidentally downloads him into her brain. The Sanctuary then powers down, and Robin exits with Al-An still in her brain.

The Fabricator Base is an Architect Base located in the Fabricator Caverns.

At the end of the Fabricator Caverns Biome, you can find the entrance to the Fabricator Base. A large mass of crystals can be seen protruding from the structure. The Fabricator Base, as the name suggests, contains several fabricators capable of creating a new body for Al-An. The blueprint for the body requires scanning all Architect body parts that can be found around the map in Architect Caches. Each body part is constructed individually at three small fabricators at the left side of the room. Once all body parts have been fabricated, Al-An’s organic storage medium can be assembled inside the large fluid tank in the center of the room. As the player creates Al-An’s Vessel and the parts to the vessel, the room will slowly differ in appearance as multiple light fixtures will activate and start to illuminate room.
