Container Artifacts are cool in theory. What could aliens have stashed or imprisoned in this box? Dare you open it?
As it currently stands, there is extremely little variety in what a container artifact may contain. You're gonna get either an owl grenade, light grenade, artcells, or bee larvae. The entry for them on the wiki implies that they can contain hostile creatures, but I have literally never seen this happen, and by the looks of the code for their contents in the 2016 release, it's not a thing that can happen.
If you were to expand the list of things that can appear from Container Artifacts, what sort of things would you choose? Maybe limit suggestions to things that can't already be found in locked crates, to help keep container artifacts and crates distinct from one another. Or don't, it's up to you.
