Where do I find a Used Floppy Disk in Loftia?
In Office Urbex rooms in the Gridfall, with the Locator Tool. Uncommon Office spots give the most Used artifacts. Players report Office doors in the Historical Quarter and the Concrete Jungle.
Loftia Artifacts: Every Artifact, Urbex Room and Museum Set
Loftia artifacts are old objects you dig up in the Gridfall's Urbex rooms with the Locator Tool. There are 20 of them, and each one comes in three conditions: Battered, Used and Spotless.
Loftia artifacts: where they come from and what they are for
For the rest of our Loftia guides, start at the Loftia guide hub.
- Where: every artifact belongs to one kind of Urbex room. Seven come from Office rooms, seven from Residential rooms and six from Underground rooms.
- Conditions: the condition depends on the artifact spot you dig. Common spots mostly give Battered, Uncommon spots mostly give Used, and only Rare spots give Spotless.
- Rail Boots: the Rail Boots recipe comes from the Electric Dreams set at the Museum Research Station, which takes a Used Floppy Disk, a Used Game Cartridge and a Used Boombox. The Floppy Disk and Boombox come from Office rooms, the Game Cartridge from Residential rooms.
- The museum and Inspire sets: research sets only take Used artifacts. The Museum Bin and some of Estella's and Linda's Inspire sets also ask for Spotless ones.
- Spares: the Recycler turns artifacts you don't need into Memory Tiles for furniture and clothing.

Loftia Used Floppy Disk, Used Boombox and the Rail Boots
The Rail Boots recipe is the reward for Electric Dreams, a page 2 set at the Museum Research Station. It asks for one each of these:
-
Used Floppy Disk -
Used Game Cartridge -
Used Boombox
Where to look. The Loftia Used Boombox and the Used Floppy Disk only come from Office Urbex rooms. Running Underground or Residential rooms won't turn them up, however long you spend there. The Used Game Cartridge comes from Residential rooms, so this set needs both kinds.
Which spots to dig. An Uncommon Office spot is your best bet: each of its 3 rolls has about a 6% chance of a Used Floppy Disk and about an 8% chance of a Used Boombox, if the game picks evenly inside each group of items. A Common Office spot gives 2 rolls at about 2% each. Rare spots mostly give Spotless, which this set doesn't take.
Where the Office doors are. Players report Office Urbex doors in the Historical Quarter and the Concrete Jungle, and say you can reach some of them by gliding down from high ground without the Rail Boots.
Every set at the station, with its reward, is on our Museum Research Station list.
Every Loftia artifact and where it comes from
Each artifact keeps the same Urbex type in all three conditions. "Museum set" is the research set that takes its Used version; "Museum Bin" is the bin level that asks for it; "Inspire set" is the furniture or outfit set that asks to see it, Used unless marked Spotless.
| Artifact | Urbex room | Museum set | Museum Bin | Inspire set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Action Figure | Residential | Toy Friends | Lv.2 | Graffiti Outfit Set A |
 Blockia 3310 | Office | Groovy Gadgets | Lv.3 | Techwear Outfit Set A (Spotless) |
| Boombox | Office | Electric Dreams | Lv.3 | None |
 Fidget Spinner | Underground | Spinning Machines | Lv.1 | Steampunk Furniture Set A |
| Floppy Disk | Office | Electric Dreams | Lv.3 | None |
 Fooby | Residential | Fluffy and Squishy | Lv.2 | Recycled Outfit Set B |
| Game Cartridge | Residential | Electric Dreams | Lv.2 | Gamer Furniture Set B (Spotless) |
 Game Guy | Office | Groovy Gadgets | Lv.3 | Gamer Furniture Set B |
 Gone Fishin' | Underground | Spinning Machines | Lv.1 | Steampunk Furniture Set B |
 Kevin Says | Underground | None | Lv.1 | Recycled Outfit Set B |
 Lava Lamp | Underground | None | Lv.1 | Techwear Outfit Set A |
 Lofufu | Residential | Fluffy and Squishy | Lv.2 | None |
 Pet Pal | Residential | Toy Friends | Lv.2 | Gamer Furniture Set A (Spotless) |
 Puzzle Cube | Underground | Spinning Machines | Lv.1 | Graffiti Outfit Set A; Gamer Furniture Set A (Spotless) |
 Ring Toss | Underground | None | Lv.1 | Steampunk Furniture Set B |
 Rubber Duck | Residential | Fluffy and Squishy | Lv.2 | Upcycled Outfit Set B |
 Ruby Doll | Residential | Toy Friends | Lv.2 | Upcycled Outfit Set B |
 Techshot | Office | None | Lv.3 | None |
 Walkboy | Office | Groovy Gadgets | Lv.3 | Steampunk Furniture Set A |
 YouPod | Office | Groovy Gadgets | Lv.3 | None |
Loftia Lava Lamp, Kevin Says and Ring Toss aren't in any research set, but Inspire sets want 10 Used of each. The Techshot is the only artifact you need just for the Museum Bin. The Lava Lamp, Kevin Says, Ring Toss, Puzzle Cube, Fidget Spinner and Gone Fishin' all come from Underground rooms, and the Loftia Fidget Spinner, Puzzle Cube and Gone Fishin' make up the Spinning Machines set.
Loftia Blockia 3310 is one of the four Office artifacts in Groovy Gadgets, with the YouPod, Walkboy and Game Guy.
There is also a 21st artifact item, the Betabara, whose description reads "Thanks for playing the beta!" It isn't in any artifact spot, set or bin. The game has a memory for "Discovered every artifact in the Gridfall." Before Patch #2 it wrongly counted the Betabara; the developers fixed that on November 10, 2026, and the game files now leave the Betabara out of it, so the 20 artifacts are enough. The beta rewards are explained in our Betabara guide. Item descriptions for every artifact are in our Loftia items list.
Battered, Used and Spotless artifacts
The three conditions of the Floppy Disk, from Battered to Spotless:
-
Battered Floppy Disk - Used Floppy Disk
-
Spotless Floppy Disk
The condition you get depends on the spot. Every artifact spot in an Urbex room is Common, Uncommon or Rare, and each roll can also give an ordinary material instead of an artifact:
| Spot | Rolls | Each roll |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 2 | About 46% Battered, 15% Used, 38% materials |
| Uncommon | 3 | About 46% Used, 15% Battered, 38% materials |
| Rare | 4 | About 46% Spotless, 15% Used, 38% materials |
The game files give these spots a 180-second respawn timer. How often you come across Uncommon and Rare spots depends on the museum: when it is doing well the game says "it's easier to find Uncommon and Rare artifact spots in urbex", and when interest fades, "it's harder to find Uncommon and Rare artifact spots in urbex." In the game's words, "By donating found artifacts to the contribution bins in the Gridfall, players help keep the Museum relevant and thriving."
Loftia Spotless Puzzle Cube and other Spotless artifacts only come from Rare spots. Research sets never ask for Spotless; you need them for the Museum Bin and for three Inspire sets, such as the Gamer Furniture Set A with 4 Spotless Puzzle Cubes and 6 Spotless Pet Pals.
Battered artifacts still have uses: the quest The Art of Letting Go asks for a Battered Rubber Duck, and any spare can go into the Recycler.
One quirk: an Underground Common spot never gives a Used Kevin Says or a Used Lava Lamp. Those two only come Used from Uncommon and Rare spots.
How to start finding artifacts
You need two things from the Gridfall story first:
- An Urbex keycard from Mita. The quest Beneath the Surface starts with "Ask Mita for an Urbex key". The game says "The Keycard Mita gave you grants access to Urbex doors around Gridfall."
- The Locator Tool. You craft it at a level 3 Project Station from 5 Magnets, 2 Carbon Fiber and 2 Glass during Mita's quest The Art of Letting Go. Where to find the Carbon Fiber and Magnets is in our Gridfall materials list.
Inside an Urbex room, use the Locator to scout: "The Locator Tool can find items that have long been lost to time." When it shows a hidden spot, stand on top of it and use the tool again to dig it up. In the game's words, "Apart from resources, you might find interesting and unique artifacts."
A few things about the doors, from the game: "Some need power from your battery to open", and "Urbex doors will always take you to a different place." Each kind of room has its own artifacts: "Each Urbex area has a different assortment of Artifacts." Players report that leaving the Gridfall and coming back resets the rooms. The keycard, the three kinds of rooms and the other Urbex finds are in our Gridfall Urbex guide, and the Locator and keycard are also on our list of what you get in the Gridfall.
There is a limit to how many artifacts you can carry. The Artifact Pouch I, II and III perks add 5, 10 and 15 to it.
Museum sets that take artifacts
Five of the ten sets at the Museum Research Station take artifacts, one Used artifact of each kind listed:
| Set | Page | Artifacts (Used, 1 each) | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electric Dreams | 2 | Floppy Disk, Game Cartridge, Boombox | Rail Boots recipe |
| Spinning Machines | 3 | Fidget Spinner, Puzzle Cube, Gone Fishin' | Medium Hydro Station recipe |
| Fluffy and Squishy | 3 | Rubber Duck, Lofufu, Fooby | Collector Rod Lv.2 recipe |
| Groovy Gadgets | 3 | Blockia 3310, YouPod, Walkboy, Game Guy | Medium Biofuel Station recipe |
| Toy Friends | 3 | Action Figure, Ruby Doll, Pet Pal | Seed Maker recipe |
Page 2 as a whole also gives the Display Case recipe, and page 3 the Articulated Mannequin recipe. Spinning Machines is all Underground artifacts, Fluffy and Squishy and Toy Friends are all Residential, and Groovy Gadgets is all Office; Electric Dreams is the only one that mixes room types.
The Museum Bins and their daily artifacts
Each Museum Bin asks for a new set of artifacts every 24 hours. In the game's words, "Daily artifacts contributions keep Old Earth's history alive through its many treasured objects." There are three, one per level, each in a different part of the Gridfall, and each draws from one kind of Urbex room:
- Museum Bin Lv.1: Underground artifacts. Opens after the Gridfall story quest Everything Is Connected.
- Museum Bin Lv.2: Residential artifacts. Also opens after Everything Is Connected.
- Museum Bin Lv.3: Office artifacts. Opens after Mending What's Broken.
Each day's request is two different artifacts, 1 to 4 of each, and it often mixes a Used one with a Spotless one. Filling a request gives 10 Sols. Donating to the bins is also what keeps the museum thriving, which makes Uncommon and Rare artifact spots easier to find. Where each bin stands is in our Contribution Bins guide.
Inspire sets that take artifacts
Estella teaches furniture recipes and Linda teaches outfit recipes when you inspire them with the items a set asks to see. Eight of those sets ask for artifacts:
| Set | Inspire | Artifacts |
|---|---|---|
| Steampunk Furniture Set A | Estella | 8 Used Fidget Spinner, 6 Used Walkboy |
| Steampunk Furniture Set B | Estella | 8 Used Gone Fishin', 10 Used Ring Toss |
| Gamer Furniture Set A | Estella | 4 Spotless Puzzle Cube, 6 Spotless Pet Pal |
| Gamer Furniture Set B | Estella | 10 Used Game Guy, 6 Spotless Game Cartridge |
| Graffiti Outfit Set A | Linda | 7 Used Puzzle Cube, 5 Used Action Figure |
| Upcycled Outfit Set B | Linda | 6 Used Ruby Doll, 8 Used Rubber Duck |
| Recycled Outfit Set B | Linda | 8 Used Fooby, 10 Used Kevin Says |
| Techwear Outfit Set A | Linda | 10 Used Lava Lamp, 6 Spotless Blockia 3310 |
These are much bigger counts than the museum sets, so it pays to keep spare Used artifacts instead of recycling them. We haven't checked in play how many recipes one Inspire gives or whether you keep the items you show. The recipes each set teaches are on our Loftia recipes list.
Recycling spare artifacts into Memory Tiles
You can't repair an artifact or change its condition. What you can do with spares is recycle them. "The Recycler lets you reclaim resources from items you no longer need, such as refined materials, furniture, clothing, and artifacts."
Mita's side quest A Second Life introduces it: you craft a Recycler from 3 Glass, 2 Power Cables and 2 Circuit Boards, then recycle artifacts into 6 tiles (the quest calls them Colorful Tiles; the item is Memory Tiles, "Tiles of all colors, made out of old objects that were once cherished."). The game files list 1 Memory Tile for a Battered artifact, 2 for Used and 3 for Spotless. The quest steps are with our Gridfall quests.
The Recycler counts against your Processing Stations permit, the same one as the Refining Station and the Seed Maker, so you may need a permit step before you can place it; the permit steps are in our island permits list. Players found it took only one item at a time; Patch #2 fixed the quantity selector getting stuck at one.
Memory Tiles go into furniture and clothing, and players report that recycling Spotless artifacts gives more of them. The Bathtub, Shower, Toilet and Kitchen Sink take 6 each, the Vanity and Sink 4, the Cabinet 3 and the Fruit Bowl 2, and some outfit pieces, such as the Eclipse Boots and the Decora Skirt, take 50. Full recipes are in our recipe table.
Version notes and limits
The game files don't say how many artifact spots each Urbex room has or how often each tier appears, so the odds on this page are per roll, not per run. We haven't recycled artifacts ourselves to confirm the Memory Tile counts. We will reread the artifact, spot, museum and bin tables when an Early Access patch changes them.
Loftia artifacts FAQ
Where do I find a Used Boombox?
Also in Office Urbex rooms. Like the Floppy Disk, it never comes from Underground or Residential rooms.
What are Spotless artifacts for?
The Museum Bin and three Inspire sets: both Gamer Furniture sets and the Techwear Outfit Set A. Research sets only take Used artifacts. Spotless artifacts only come from Rare spots.
Can I repair a Battered artifact?
No. You can recycle it into Memory Tiles, or use it for the quest The Art of Letting Go, which asks for a Battered Rubber Duck.
Where is the Lava Lamp?
In Underground Urbex rooms. It isn't in any research set; the Museum Bin Lv.1 and the Techwear Outfit Set A (10 Used) ask for it.
Where is the Fidget Spinner?
In Underground Urbex rooms. Its Used version goes to the Spinning Machines set.
What do I need to find artifacts?
An Urbex keycard from Mita and the Locator Tool, both from the Gridfall story.
Why do I keep getting the wrong artifacts?
Each kind of Urbex room has its own artifacts, and Urbex doors take you to different places. Check which room type the artifact comes from in the table above, and dig Uncommon spots for Used versions.
Can I sell artifacts?
The game doesn't mark artifacts as items you can sell to the game. Players report selling spares to each other through vending machines; otherwise, recycle them into Memory Tiles.
