Artifacts and planets

So, I'm trying to create a map in Galaxy Forge (the one that came with the game GF1 i suppose)

I'm trying to figure out how I can control what artifacts appear on what planets?

I want to make it so each player gets all the artifacts but I cannot seem to get it to work..


I got plenty of planets, and I edit each planet to use a specific artifact, but regardless the game puts its own artifact in there, or none at all..

Is there any way I can force the game to use the artifacts I specify on specific planets?

Aside from artifacts everything I put in the list appears in the game, all the frigates, structures and all that.. but the artifacts just don't work..

Last attempt I had set each planet with a artifact, different ones on different planets.

None of the artifacts I had set in the list were in the game on any of the planets. instead the game put in 3 different artifacts on a total of 10 planets.. all duplicates.

(I set the map to put artifacts on 90% of the planets since when I had it low % there were no artifacts at all)
Am I missing an obvious button to force the game to use the artifacts I list in the group editor?

Thanks!

Study the map Ancient Gifts. It is done with artifacts put in permanently at game start.

Good idea, but from what I can tell, that doesn't let me customize the artifacts..


I'd like the ability to set a specific planet to use a specific artfact.

You can do that, along side picking what bonuses you want on the planet. Adding them to the a planet's template.

the only bonus I see that i can choose is the crystal mining one..

Am I missing some obvious place to customize this?

I think I got it working.. but Ice planets don't seem to care what I tell them to have on them they randomize anyways.

Still would like to know where i can customize the bonus on each planet, aside from crystal mining..
