Alien Tablets (Disambiguation)

Precursor Artifacts or "Precursor Keys" are in-development items required to access the Precursor Bases or Structures.

The Artifacts are very odd in appearance. They are quite large and are similar to an SD card in shape, and they feature various holes and attachments.

All five Precursor Artifacts can be obtained by typing Precursorkeys into the console. They can also be acquired separately by typing item PrecursorKey_(Colour) into the console.

The Orange Artifact can be found in the Deep Grand Reef Abandoned Seabase on a desk, and is presumed to be what Marguerit Maida discovered, as shown in this log. This Artifact is used for accessing the Lost River Precursor Cache.

The Purple Artifact is used in the Quarantine Enforcement Platform to unlock the upper entrance, the anti-gravity elevator, and the control room. The three artifacts needed to unlock these doors can be found onsite. It can also be used to access the Dunes, Sparse Reef, and Blood Kelp Zone  Precursor Caches. It is also used to unlock doors in the Precursor Thermal Power Generator. The player can craft Purple Artifacts after scanning the broken Artifact in front of the Quarantine Enforcement Platform entrance using an Ion Crystal and two Diamonds using the Fabricator.

The Blue Artifact can be found in the Precursor Thermal Power Generator, and will be used to access the Primary Containment Facility.

The Red and White Artifacts will likely go unused in the future.
