Generally speaking, artifacts need to be more useful for the "owner". Handheld artifacts automatically do this but large artifacts are quite indiscriminate.
A way to fix this would be to make activating large artifacts reveal an on/off button, rather than having them turn on immediately. Could even make them only respond to the first person that touches them post activation. This would also apply to artifacts that automatically turn off after some time, so that they can always be reactivated by touch rather than having to use the original stimuli.
Also I seem to remember that some chemicals used to be usable in place of certain stimuli (radium for radiation, cryostylane for cold), but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I might be remember this wrong though, maybe it only ever worked for heat chemicals.
Oh and to reiterate: the pitcher and impact pad needs to be a lot more impactful.
