Tips:
With the 0.15 research overhaul, this item is no longer obtainable, having been replaced by multiple other types of science packs.
* Depending on difficulty and playstyle, it may be hard to get the first [[Alien artifact]]s. A way to get the most research out of the collected artifacts is to use an [[Assembling machine 3]] with four [[Productivity module 2]]s loaded, to generate the most Alien Science Packs possible.  Once the [[Productivity module 3]] has been researched, the module 2s can be replaced with 3s for even better productivity.
** Using Productivity modules in [[Lab]]s can also decrease the number of Alien Science Packs required, but due to time and energy tradeoffs this is generally not recommended unless acquiring artifacts is causing extreme problems.
