Focus: Outdoor tillable ground and up to 16 Artifact Spots
Checklist: Use the totem outside on diggable terrain, not indoors. Stand where the surrounding ring is clear of water, walls, machines, crops, debris, and map blockers. Expect fewer than 16 Artifact Spots if any surrounding tiles are blocked.
