Artifacts

Artifacts are ancient (pre-apocalypse) technology remnants that you may find in the wasteland. They are either upgrades to your settlement (for this game only) or one-off resource bonuses.

One-off Bonuses

Soft Drink	+1 Stamina	Tastes the same as all those years ago. What is in this stuff...
Tea Bags	+2 Stamina	A massive box of teabags! Who wants to boil some water?
Instant Coffee	+3 Stamina	There isn't much left, but it's got quite a kick!
Paracetamol	+1 Medicine	This stuff is hard to find now. Let's bring it back while we can, we have a lot of people to look after.
Bandages	+2 Medicine	Much better than rags and ropes. We can put these to good use.
