DIRECT ANSWER / FIELD-READY

Artifacts follow the recorded pipeline: spend Artifact Coins at the ball machine to obtain an artifact, then use the unlocker/opener to reveal a blueprint. Purple loot carries Artifact Coins; glowy orbs are kept out of both the ball machine and the Grinder.

FIELD NOTE / 01

The artifact pipeline

The recorded pipeline runs Artifact Coins into the ball machine (gacha) to obtain an artifact, then the unlocker/opener turns that artifact into a blueprint. Purple loot is described as carrying Artifact Coins, so identify the item, protect it and extract before processing anything.

What to keep out

Glowy orbs are a separate resource — do not feed them to the ball machine or the Grinder. Track the exact blueprint name, source, unlock location and game version rather than generalizing about purple loot.
