aquiring artifacts question

Back when sins first released, I played till about 2 weeks after 3rd patch was released. Back then I was able to aquire all artifacts in a huge multi random map (5 stars, 132 planets) every game. Now after playing entrenchment huge multi random maps over 15 times aquiring every planet and completing full planet searches I am only able to get all but one artifact each and every game. Has anyone else noticed this or did something change after 3rd patch to make aquiring all the artifacts more difficult? It seems really strange though if something changed just to make the last artifact harder to aquirer.

Thanx in advance

it seems they adjusted the chance of finding artifacts to make them rarer. Least thats the way it seems to me. Can anybody confirm this?

i havent seen anything in the change logs. im pretty sure you can mod the game to the point where they are more frequent.

I have never used any mods. I think I should be able to complete all the achievements with out any mods. In the original sins I was able to complete all the achievements in about 10 games. I now am almost done with my 17th game all of them have been huge multi random (5 stars, 132 planets). Eventhough the computer players end the game I still complete it by aquiring all the planets and doing full searches.

On a side note I sent a question about the artifacts to support@ironclad.com. I will let yall know their response once they have contacted me back.
