Update on the artifact idea;
When I get back to this project, it won't be long, my laptops fixed now just looking for some free time, I might sprite a martian key. When you use the key on a large artifact, it'll activate it's second function. Each class will have a different secondary function, so like wizard will be like an emp because they're technophobes and all that, while martian large artifacts can be used as biomass reservoir tanks. I completely forget the name of the class of the purple ones, y'know the dangerous ones, the key used on them would be a very strong bomb. Lot's of idea's, throw them my way for the robot and other ones.
This way the martians can still activate it's primary function just on touch, whilst keeping the secondary function restricted to the key. I suppose that'd be much easier to code. The key would just really work as a scanner, and thus activating once the class is detected and deleting the artifact.
Perhaps a martian key hidden somewhere in a z-level? Potential traitor miner fun.
