Permanent. So far I got 2 permanent research effects and one mining. All artifact effects are temporary.

They do? What's the duration here then?

Wow that is awesome! so a new 1% buff with a chance of it being perm?! thats awesome!

hmmm interesting. Wonder if artifact can be as well.

Looks that way. Hopefully you can find a lot of these tomorrow and let us know if artifact effects can be permanent as well.

500 CTP is much too expensive as CTP is so hard to get past rank 600.

Can multiple jewels be added to the planet? Would be pretty great to have all four jewels with permanent duration.

based on the above picture it looks like there are 2 permanents on one planet already.

You can have one of each effect on a planet. as far as I'm aware they don't stack.

No reason why the artifact one can't roll perm as well, but it may be a little harder to roll a perm amber than the jade and amethyst.

They don't stack you can have 1 of each on the same planet

as for permanent not sure could be a glitch but I have the same mining doesn't show a duration

NSX Crate: Amber : Artifact +1%
(5 days, 23 hours left)
NSX Crate: Amethyst : Research +1%
(3 weeks left)
NSX Crate: Jade : Mining +1%

Very cool stuff.

Btw... if there's a chance the effects are permanent, I'd be careful not to put them on my best planets straight away, given that there may be an artifact somewhere down the chain that amplifies the effect in a "If (x-artifact) is present when Amber Crate is used, effect is doubled" sorta way.

I feel like the description would say that now though...if anything, I think that a planet structure later in chain would say if the planet has an NSX crate effect when placed, the STURCTURE would be what is doubled.

You would think so, but there is precedent; in the Uldri and Raix chain, I know people who immediately placed all their "crappy" 1:1 anomaly crystals and bunkers respectively on second-tier planets, because there was no warning of the good stuff to come.

I can imagine they were not happy when the Crystal Field and Refineries were introduced!

idk what's gonna happen here, obviously, I'd just be cautious about doing anything permanent with your best planets until the mission chain is archived.

+1

That's why i'm saving all my #&$#. I placed most of my uldri crystal fields on subpar planets and then the +5% arti boost came with the uldri market.

I'll wait till the archival occurs to start placing planet structures and boosters on my best planets for sure.

You can get as many crates however often you can scan though at least, so unlike the raix and uldri items, these NSX crates aren't limited to 10 artifacts, thankfully. The later planet structures in chain might be though. Those it would be wise to hold on to, but these I wouldn't think matter as much given that you can keep getting them.

I think the point is that you might get 2% perm if you wait instead of getting 1% now. Not sure what I will do, so frustrating...

Well I mean unless Dan adds an additional description on the NSX crate saying if the planet has "X structure" on it when the crate is placed the bonuses of the crate will double, I couldn't really see that happening. Idk though, guess we will see. Has he changed the description of artifacts before?

Oh so many times.

We could easily see something along the lines of
Can only be placed on planets with no NSX buff.

Also for the wiki:

That's been posted for a bit...
