Bugs.
During my time with Lost Artifacts: Golden Island I encountered just one bug, which is sadly a rather common bug among 8floor time management games and that is the vanishing resource bug.

What happens is, if a resource spawns at a building that you are upgrading, if you do not collect the resource before the construction is complete, the resource will vanish upon completion. This bug is usually very annoying in such games and can hinder your ability to earn a 3 star score, with Lost Artifacts: Golden Island, it is so easy to earn a 3 star score it rarely, if ever will cause you any issues.
Notes.
Lost Artifacts: Golden Island has a total of 23 Steam achievements, none of which are technically missable as when you complete one level with at least a one star score, the next level is unlocked and any previously completed level can be replayed at any time.

Please be aware that achievements will only unlock when you play the game on Normal difficulty, they will not unlock if you play the game on Easy difficulty.

If you have played any of the Gnomes Garden games, you will feel right at home with Lost Artifacts as it plays exactly the same with just a different skin.

One point of note that is different with Lost Artifacts, is that in some of the later levels a suitcase will sometimes appear and move around the map, snapping open and closed. If you repeatedly click on the suitcase enough times it will earn you a few resources.
Achievement Guide.
I'll not bother with an indepth achievement guide for this game, suffice to say, if you complete all 49 levels, earning 3 stars on each level, you will earn all the achievements.

The only point of note is to ensure that you use each of the three special abilities at least once, I can't imagine you could earn 3 stars on all 49 levels without doing so, but, just in case, I'm forewarning you to make sure you use them.

Difficulty wise, if you have previously played any similar time management games you will find this a simple affair, I would go so far as to say this is the easiest time management game I have played on Steam, and by some margin.

Completion time is around 5-6 hours.
