Can I disable the AWESOME shop?

[leaf dog]

I own the game on EGS.

I haven't played Satisfactory since update 3 came out because all of the different building elements (ones that were previously available just by progressing through the game) now being locked behind the awful FICSIT coupon system completely ruins the game for me. Is there any way I can create a world where the AWESOME shop is completely disabled and all of its items are unlocked from the start?

Nope there is no way to disable the Awesome Shop.

Nvm - found a mod that multiplies the amount of AWESOME points you get by 100, effectively making the entire ordeal a cakewalk.

Here it is for anyone who is wondering: https://ficsit.app/mod/HundredTimesAwesomePoints

Even better: Here's one that just integrates all the AWESOME shop items as milestones https://ficsit.app/mod/AwesomeMilestones

You could just use SCIM to load your file, unlock everything in the shop, and then download the altered file. Even faster, no mod needed.

While cool, I get the feeling that since it hasn't been updated since 2021 (back in update 4), it's probably broken now. And if it isn't, it's missing anything that's been added to the shop since it's release.

In all fairness, generating coupons isn't difficult... it's honestly just a time gate, easily circumvented by feeding anything you're not currently using (even raw materials) into an AWESOME Sink. For example, when I start "setting up shop" in the beginning of the game, one of the first things I do is plop a miner on a pure Quartz node or two, and start feeding raw quartz into a sink.

Later, when "tickets" cost more points, you can simply feed some of your production of more advanced products into it... it's not like resources are limited in any way, and your production facilities are likely spending most of their time idle, anyway... other than concrete, of course.

Especially effective when you're out hunting hard drives instead of building and using up materials.

TL;DR: If you're not actively using a product, and you have a full storage bin of it... feed further production into a sink and let the coupons take care of themselves.

Use the Pak Utility Mod and just add tickets to your inventory.

If you had built, let's say walkways, before that change, you could still build them after, without unlocking from the Awesome Shop. I remember that it seemed a minor nuisance to have the appearance of being unlocked again.

Went through the same again in U4 when tier 7 items got moved to tier 8 but by then the milestone costs were insignificant. Besides, I had already taken advantage of the increased build costs for Mk3 miners and got plenty of fused frames for free, before I had ever extracted nitrogen. Just before the upgrade, i had planted Mk3 miners on dozens of empty nodes. What originally cost heavy frames returned fused frames and computers became supercomputers.

That's the challenge for me without cheats to farm the coupons and honestly the normal unlocks you need you have quickly and now even faster with the DNA capsules I need only the Golden Nut about 700/1000 I like this system you have always been happy to unlock something and with cheats you rob yourself a piece of the game.

Hmmm, nope, not missing anything here. Same game as before, same requirements to unlock stuff as before, so nothing missing.

Just setup a conveyor to feed excess materials into a Sink. You also get a ton of coupons now by turning all the animal meat into protein then DNA capsules, which you then sink.
I had a bunch of meat stored for use as heals but because I rarely died I turned them all into capsules and went from 0 coupons to over 50.

If you cheat it you don't miss anything but I would miss that part and when I get the golden nut I have everything and I know I didn't cheat it.
