Details lost and found artifact

lost and found artifact

I'm escorting an Artifact back to base with my Unity Rover up north.  A mindworm larva appears from nowhere and kills my Rover.  I get the "Artifact Lost" message.  Then suddenly it reappears next to the Fungal Tower I'm starting to undermine, to the south.  It's as though the game mistook me for the attacker, not the defender, and transferred the spoils of war to me.  Or more poetically, the Artifact rode the underground fungal net, popped out at Tower, and bequeathed it back to me.  Wouldn't it be odd if this wasn't actually a bug, but a designed feature for capturing Artifacts?  Stand next to Fungal Towers and let the riches pour in.
