The Artemis Path

What does the Artemis Path give? Across its 29 parts: Artemis' Translator and the Personal Forcefield early on, the first parts of your base with its Base Computer and Roamer Geobay, the Mind Ark and the Soul Engine in The First Traveller, and Remembrance, an exosuit module, once The Purge is done.

How it starts

The story starts with the game: Awakenings sends you to a stranger's coordinates, and each chapter follows the one before, from Alone Amidst the Stars and Ghosts in the Machine to A Leap in the Dark, The First Traveller, Patterns in Time, 16 / 16, and The Purge.

The steps

Each part is one entry of the log, and the next opens when it ends. The table gives every step as the log names it, with the hint the game shows under it, and on a part's last step everything that part gives along the way.

What the items do

Everything the story hands over, with the description the game gives it.

Item	What it does
Signal Booster	A versatile scanner that detects nearby buildings. Can decrypt Navigation Data to pinpoint specific locations.
Artemis' Translator	An automatic translation device. Device must be calibrated by pre-loading with existing translation data. Device must have network connection to Artemis to function.
Personal Forcefield	On activation, this module draws power from Exosuit Life Support systems to overload the Multi-Tool, distorting the electromagnetic field around the user and creating a powerful personal shield.
Door	A compression-sealed, standard door suitable for all rooms and corridors.
Salvaged Data	The salvageable heart of some ancient technology. Unreadable in its current form.
Cylindrical Room	The core module for base construction, providing a generous central space on which to expand.
Roamer Geobay	A secure parking, summoning and customisation facility for the Roamer medium Exocraft.
Base Computer	Portable land registration service.
Cuboid Room	A small, cuboid construction module that can be stacked or linked to form larger structures.
Mind Ark	A strange piece of technology, a gift from beyond the stars. It shimmers in a way that suggests it is not fully in this world.
Soul Engine	A powerful organic computing unit.
Science Terminal	A research station tailored to the needs of Scientists, and equipped for research and development of scientific blueprints.
Vy'keen Tablet	A stone tablet bearing line after line of intricate runes. The words are unintelligible, an ancient dialect forgotten by all but the oldest of the Vy'keen elders.
Divergence Cube	A glitching, pulsing data unit. It does not seem to belong in this reality.
Remembrance	Everything you ever knew is within.

Every item the quest gives, in the order it comes, with the game's own description.

The story opens other quests on the way: the Base Computer Archives after Alone Amidst the Stars, Expanding the Base at your first base, and Dreams of the Deep in The Purge. What each module adds is in the exosuit modules and multitool modules guides.
