Exotic artifact locator machine

[joaomarcosh]

What this does

Adds a machine to Box's anomaly lab that can locate the nearest exotic artifact based on a sample.

Just grind the sample, add some lithium sodium tungstate to it, pop the beaker into the machine and it will give you the location.

Why it's good

Because normal triangulation is too slow and forces you to use a tool outside the game so most people just skip it entirely and go excavate normal artifacts until they can get the tools to locate the large artifacts. Of course this only applies to exotic artifacts, for familiar artifacts you still have to use the old method.

How it was tested

By using the machine to locate all exotic artifacts on the map and excavating each of them until the machine didn't report any more artifacts. Since it slightly modifies the code used for the old triangulation machines I also tested them with the samples to make sure their behavior was unchanged.

TODO

• New sprite
• New name and description

but what of the old machines? remove them? personally i'd like to see them reworked to use holominimaps that print the circle radii, to help visualise triangulation better.

Real gnarly perspective issues on that new icon - please rework it.
