Yeah, if it's an artifact they specify that in the warning. If it's something like Kalsitrate ? , crystals that give 20% to trade or the penal colony stuff or tundra farms on an ice planet it's always "found something interesting here".

This may be a bit like asking you if you breathe regularly, but...did you explore the 'roid once you had conquered it? I had a similar problem the first time I got the "another empire has found a powerful artifact" prompt.

Wait, sorry...misread original post.

Perhaps I should start breathing regularly.

Yeah, it's probably just some sort of passive bonus.

You will see a message in the lower left boxes of your interface. Any time you find something interesting, it'll leave a note there for you to check.

You can choose to lock the teams in the game options and then specify which team each AI belongs to. You can have them in groups or all on a different team. With teams locked, there is no diplomacy, so they will always be against each other (sans reloading bugs).
