Missing artifacts after Meet the Informant mission

[Marrik]

So I finished a "meet the informant" mission, and for some reason I didn't get the Secret Files the guy had in his inventory or any of the multiple Strange Artifacts that he and the enemy Westmen had. Is this a glitch?

[krautbernd]

Impossible to judge from the description alne. Do you happen to have a safe from the mission and can you reproduce the behaviour?

[Marrik]

Unfortunately no, I've overwritten it since then.

What are the "Strange Artifacts," is that an item I'm supposed to be able to research?

[Marrik]

Does anybody know? I don't remember seeing the "strange artifacts" in any of the previous versions, definitely not in this mission.

[Solarius Scorch]

Strange artifacts are items that have their own research project, but have not been researched yet.

I can't help with the issue without a save, sorry.

[Marrik]

Fortunately I got the same mission again, if the same issue crops up I'll be able to share the save.

[Marrik]

To be clear, am I supposed to have an item called a "Strange Artifact" after the mission is over?
