This makes zero sense to me, as you are skipping steps. Primarily:
-> You only get the Power artifact from Astrape, after charging the Drone Block. Once you got the artifact, there isn't any value left with the Drone.
-> I needed the Resource artifact from Laurion to survive my trips to Astrape and then explore Astrape long enough to get the Power artifact. Astrape has lots of food and water, but air is limited and the trip to Astrape takes a long time, so the Resource artifact extends your food and water to get to Astrape reliably.
-> So, this explanation assumes that I'm skipping Laurion, to go straight to Santorini and eventually Astrape... to get the Power artifact first, and then return in future loops, once I have the Power artifact, to solve Laurion's Resource artifact problem.
-> Sure if I had the Power artifact, Laurion would be a piece of cake. I could probably solve it in 2 loops, maybe one if I had the water available. But you need the Resource artifact, to get the Power artifact in any amount of sane loops as its hard to make it to Astrape without running out of water or food.
