Touching Artifacts with gloves does not activate them.

[Kotlol]

accidents are funny

They can be, but pulling artifacts being a crap shoot for interactions is not.

I also thought of maybe some tool to safely carry them around like a handcart.

It also always bugged me that "Pushing" and "Pulling" Technically do not count as touching.
Like you are physically pushing and pulling it.
It's one of those lil inconstitencies that gameplay wise make sense or else you can never touch any artifact safely.

But why not add that lil bit extra? Well that was my idea.
