Artifacts are items that can be donated to the Museum or sold for a small profit. Donating to the Museum will yield rewards when donation milestones are reached, or when specific artifacts are donated (Minerals can also be donated). Each artifact may only be donated once. Artifacts have no use besides donating them to the museum, with exceptions being the Dinosaur Egg and Ancient Seed.
Artifacts can be acquired in the following ways:
- Using the Hoe on an Artifact Spot. Different parts of the map will drop different artifacts. These locations are much more common in winter.
- Using a Hoe on dirt in The Mines and the Skull Cavern.
- Killing Monsters.
- Fishing for treasure chests.
The following artifacts grant unique unlocks:
- Donating an Ancient Seed returns an Ancient Seed crafting recipe and 1 Ancient Seed pack, which can then be planted to harvest Ancient Fruit.
- Donating all four Dwarf Scrolls unlocks the Dwarvish Translation Guide, allowing the ability to speak to the Dwarf merchant in the Mines.
- Donating the Ancient Drum rewards the player with a Drum Block.
- Donating the Bone Flute rewards the player with a Flute Block.
- Donating the Chicken Statue rewards the player with a Chicken Statue furniture item.
- Donating the prehistoric bone pieces rewards the player with the Sloth Skeleton furniture pieces.
- Donating the Rare Disc rewards the player with the 'Burnt Offering' painting.
- The Dinosaur Egg can be incubated in a Coop, similar to normal egg, to hatch a Dinosaur, which lays more dinosaur eggs when fully grown.
