Artifact Boost selection excludes asteroids "This is not a valid target for this module"

[errant trellis]

When I'm using Artifact Boost on a Transport docked at an Asteroid, sometimes the game thinks I selected the Asteroid and says "This is not a valid target for this module". It happens a lot if I'm rushing or if the game is zoomed out.

To fix this, would it be possible to exclude asteroids from the Artifact Boost selection interface? So for instance, if you click "Artifact Boost" and mistakenly tap the asteroid a Transport is docked at instead of the Transport itself, the game will assume you tried tapping on the Transport instead of the Asteroid and apply the Boost instead of giving an error. (Note that this wouldn't apply outside of Artifact Boost. You would need to click on the Artifact Boost module from a miner first.)

I’d love a toggle to auto boost closest unboosted art too. This is the worst part of drs could be way better

Also would be nice to exclude the ships of other types and allies’ transports.

i mean this just makes sense

also make the ts hitbox way bigger for ab

its ridiculously small

The art-boost hit box is the top bug in bug-reports. Not really a duplicate, because it's not in suggestions, but also kinda is. Idk

Why do we even need to click a transport? Just boost the closest unboosted artifact. That removes the selection difficulty entirely.

If Artifact Boost worked without manual selection, it should also prioritize high-level artifacts first

So like if three TS's have one D9 and one D8 each, Artifact Boost first works on the three D9s before moving onto the D8s

Closest first. Don’t bring arts to the miner you don’t want boosted

[junior flower]

Highest first makes sense. Personally I'd already find a random within range an improvement to how it works now. But the highest level in range would be better.

Or some some other more predictable method like closest first like makehadesgreatagain said also sounds good.

[sharp flume]

Only reason I suggest closest first is because I often take lowers that are more desirable than the uppers I’m grabbing. This would give us better ability to control what’s boosted by shuffling the transports on their docking point or moving the miner a little

I think that would help the issue this post/thread exists to discuss. During a run when I tap on the pile of transports and miners at the starting area to select mine I'd like my tap to prioritize my ships. Instead what seems to happen is they're all given equal weight as I have to zoom in very far to select my ships from the group.
