I have compiled a list of the locations for the artifact recipes in Stalker: Oblivion Lost. I haven't necessarily found them all, so any additions, correction and comments are welcome.
I'm using Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl v1.006 with the Oblivion Lost 2.2 mod.
I’ve played through twice now, and they mostly come in the same place, I’ve noted where they’ve turned up in different locations.
The list is in the order that I found them first time through

acidic porcupine - from stalker (Seva Master) in small building E of bandit base in dark valley [note 1]
simbion – (1) on body of a scientist in X18 lab
(2) document on control panel next to the documents the barkeep asks you to get
skin – (1) on body of a military under bridge in cordon
(2) on body of a military at their base at the S of the cordon
ancient glassbeads – (1) from Sidorovich for completing 'get the perfected pistol' job
(2) on the body of a bandit at their base in the Dark Valley
elder glassbeads - from Fanatic at rookie camp in Cordon for seeing off merc ambush
steel scale – (1) on body of military under bridge in cordon
(2) from Sidorovich for stealing the military’s document special job
porcupine - bought from Snitch at 100rad bar for 30,000 RU
sunlight - bought from Snitch at 100rad bar for 30,000 RU [note 2]
old glassbeads – (1) from Barman at 100rad bar for doing a job
(2) from stalker called Brome at the 100rad bar for doing 'find the weapon of the dutyer' job
diamond kolobok - from Kruglov after escorting him through tunnel in Yantar
steel kolobok - from a stalker called Hunter at the 100rad bar for doing 'find the family rifle' job
tears of electra - from Sakharov at Yantar for 'find part of a monster body' job
fire dummy }
bright (or shining) dummy } – document next to Ghosts's body in X16
moon dummy }
pudding – (1) from Sakharov for finishing the mission to turn off the psi field
(2) also in document found next to Ghosts’s body
tears of fire – (1) from Sakharov for returning the unique bodysuit
(2) from Sakharov after turning of Psi emission
tears of chimera – (1) from Sakharov for return part of an animal body job
(2) from Sakharov for 'bring the unique bodysuit' job
titan kolobok - on the body of a military at the NW corner of military warehouses
scale - from Voronin (duty boss at bar) for returning bulldog 6
sphere - from Cap (Freedom commander at the barrier in military warehouses) for repelling Monolith attack
electric porcupine – also from Cap after repelling the Monolith raid [note 3]
soul drops }
fiery soul } these four come from Lukash at the Freedom base for doing a job (return suit from Yantar I think) [note 4]
crystal soul } you can also get these from his body if you kill him
fervent crystal }
controller’s scalp - on body of a Monolith guy at the start of the Red Forest [note 5]
stone porcupine - on the body of the crazy stalker in the swamp area of Military Warehouses (the guy who Max at the Freedom base asks you to kill) [note 6]

[note 1] the stalker is being attacked by a bloodsucker, you can still get the recipe from his body if he's killed
[note 2] This seems to be bugged. It appears in the Notes section of your PDA as 'Informator's Data 2', but not in the Recipes section, so you can’t do the transformation
[note 3] In the Notes section of the PDA this is called ‘Screw’s data’ (Screw is at the Freedom base). Contrary to what I’ve read, you don’t get this for giving him vodka, in fact you don’t need to talk to him at all to get the recipe
[note 4] the second time I played, the mission icon disappeared whenever I traveled to Yantar, so I couldn’t finish the mission. I did a load of other jobs for Lukash but didn’t get the recipes
[note 5] the second time I played through the recipe only appeared in the Notes section of the PDA, so I couldn’t use the recipe
[note 6] The Notes section of the PDA lists 2 entries, ‘data from a psycho's memory stick’ and ‘data from a psycho's PDA’. I only got 1 recipe though

I read in another list that there are recipes to be found in Borov's office in the bandit base, Dark Valley, and in the military outpost at the south of the Cordon. However I didn't find recipes in either of these locations

Here is what you make everything from:

pellicle => skin => scale => steel scale => controller's scalp
droplets => tears of electra => tears of fire => tears of chimaera
shell => fire dummy => shining dummy => moon dummy => pudding
kolobok => steel kolobok => titan kolobok => diamond kolobok => sphere
soul => soul drops => fiery soul => crystal soul => fervent crystal
urchin => porcupine => electro porcupine => acidic porcupine => stone porcupine
mama's beads => old glassbeads => ancient glassbeads => elder glassbeads
jellyfish + droplets + stone blood + thorn => simbion
moonlight => sunlight (the only one I haven't done)

Here are some other notes and observations with respect to using the recipes:

- Anomalies only take artifacts at night, between 0600 and 1800h. Conversion of the artifact doesn't have to finish before 0600, so a recipe that takes 5 hours can be started at 0550, for example
- You can get away with not standing right in the anomaly if you're close enough. You see a blinding flash if the artifact is taken successfully. If you're making the simbion, you see the flash after the fourth artifact goes in
- You can only do a conversion that you have the recipe for
- Artifacts can be dropped from your backpack or belt
- You can convert more than 1 artifact at a time. The most I've done is 6 different artifacts, or 32 of the same (32 electro tears to 24 fire tears, 2 cobblestones and 6 electro tears back)
- Using the same anomaly more than once in succession in the same night doesn't seem to work
- Sometimes an anomaly just doesn't work and gives nothing, not sure why!
- You can find some of the ‘prepared’ artifacts on the bodies of dead stalkers

I've posted some videos on YouTube for making some of the artifacts. Here's one of them:

I hope some of this is useful, happy gaming!

Hi , can you tell me what do i need to do for the sidorovich job , "get the perfect pistol" .
If u have to take the fort 12 gun from the military guy in the bridge i need to redo my game cuz i already sold it to sidorovich and i really need that recipe .

Hey, thanks for the question.
I've just started playing through again to see if the recipes come up in the same place each time.

Second time through I got the ancient glassbeads recipe from the body of a bandit at the bandit base in the Dark Valley (although in the notes it's still called 'Sidorovich's data'). I didn't get any recipes for doing the 'return the perfect pistol' job, or from any of the bodies under the bridge.

The Skin recipe which first time I got from one of those bodies, 2nd time through I found on the body of a military at their base.

Hopefully this means you can still find it. I'll update my original post once I've got more info. I'd be interested to hear where you find any of the recipes.

I got steel scale from Sid for "Steal the box from the army outpost" quest, so the locations are random, but for example the controller's scalp was in Red forest, exactly where u said.can u post the locations of the soul drops, crystal soul, fervent crystal recipes pls? thx for the info and for the guide too. it helped at some points. bye

Hey, thanks for the feedback.
I've just finished playing through a second time, check the updated version of my original post.
Second time through I got the steel scale for the steal the documents job, just like you said. There is some variation but only in a few cases.
The whole series soul drops => fiery soul => crystal soul => fervent crystal comes together from Lukash. You can either do the job for him or kill him. The second time through I couldn't complete the mission as the quest icon disappeared when I traveled to Yantar.
