A recent addition to Prospecting introduces a facility where players exhibit rare discoveries to activate enhancements. By placing artifacts on pedestals, users gain improvements to excavation velocity, fortune, storage capacity, and similar attributes. Displayed objects differ in quality, mass, and enhancements that multiply their effects. This overview explains exhibition mechanics and optimal artifact selection across tiers.
Museum Access Points
Positioned beyond the Fortune River’s eastern shore, this facility becomes accessible immediately upon discovering its coordinates. Interior stands accept geological findings – prioritizing mass and enhancement quality for amplified effects. Activated modifiers persist until artifacts remain displayed.

Gameplay Queries
Exhibition rules prevent duplicate placements, requiring unique items per pedestal for stat accumulation.
Greater artifact mass exponentially increases stat multipliers, making heavier finds more advantageous.
Focus on excavation rates for active farming or fortune for rare discoveries, adaptable to individual gameplay strategies.
While typically stronger, well-modified legendary/epic artifacts can rival higher tiers in specialized stat focuses.
