Non-Linear Artifact Quests

Adjusts the artifact questlines so that they can be completed in any order (instead of having to be completed in a linear order).

Also makes various outpost quests, along with outpost shop openings such as EASEL, Penguin Bay, and Treasured Trophies, no longer tied to artifact quest completion, making them available as soon as the player completes the quest where they must scan the Outpost, instead of after finding any/all of the artifacts.

Suggested to pair with the following mods:

- Extra Dungeons Questline Incorporation (which incorporates Extra Dungeons' missions into the main questline, by requiring the player to clear the quests associated with those missions before taking on the Ruin.)
- Repair FTL Before Erchius Mission mod (which allows the player to repair their ship's FTL systems without removing the requirement to complete the Erchius Mining Facility mission before facing the Ruin).
- Alternative Early-Game Quest for the Outpost (which removes the need to search for an Ancient Gateway to the Outpost on Garden Planets).
- Unlock Vaults Before Ruin Destruction (which requires the player to delve into Ancient Vaults before they can take on the Ruin).
- Larger Quest Windows, in combination with a mod like 1x UI Scaling

Also suggested to pair with mod(s) that adjust the missions' threat levels, whether it's to 6, so that they're all equally challenging, even with late-game gear, or to 2 or 3, if using mods that extend the questline plot (such as, say, a mod that incorporates Extra Dungeons' missions into the main plot). Mods like these for example:
- Level 3 Artifact and Erchius Missions
- Level 6 Artifact and Erchius Missions

Warning: Outside of some supported mods, this mod probably won't play nicely with outpost-overhauling mods (at least without further patching tailored to each outpost-overhauling mod) due to this mod currently relying on alterations towards "universeflags.config" to force certain objects to spawn in the outpost at specified locations.

List of supported mods:
- Anom's Outpost Overhaul

List of (possibly) conflicting mods:
- Simultaneous Clue Hunt Quests (Does much of the same things as this mod. However, unlike this mod, mission order is unchanged instead of flexibly non-linear.)
- Chaka's Various Corrections (A variety pack that's primarily focused on tweaks related to pets, minions, and allies, but includes some other miscellaneous features, including similar features as this mod.)
