Please make somersloops and mercer spheres buyable from shop

[failure]

I don't have time nor desire to jump over the map to find all these.
Would be great to buy them or something

[Fenix]

Dupe them....

[Remnar]

I am neutral on this idea. I believe part of the game is exploration, so I doubt the devs would provide this in the awesome shop. And how is it you don't have time to explore? This game requires a lot of time to play. Even if you spend that 1 or 2 hours exploring.
Edit: There is online tools that have a map. You can also use your scanner device to look for them.

Or make them with SAM, with some crystal, silica, and nitrogen

There are around - i think - 250 spheres, and around 100 sloops 'hidden' in the wild

298 / 106 to be exact
201 / 103 usable after research

They are literally the reward for exploring. You don't want to explore? None of that stuff for you.
Same is true for harddrives.

None of this post is for you

Explore is the biggest part of this game, besides building a factory. If you have no time to explore, you have no time to build a factory. So what is the main problem that you need to buy them? You do not WANT to spend time to explore the map?

It would diminish some of the reward of unlocking things like jet packs. Sort of a classic Metroid or Zelda progression. Wouldn't be opposed to a toggle option, not unlike creative mode methods. I would understand some being opposed to it as a locked in feature. I won't die on either hill though. It's not like tickets are super easy either.

Yes i like to play my way.
Also i didn't ask for game advice btw

[Gal Kraft]

On further thought, the idea is growing on me, so long as it's locked behind some research. Just can't justify bypassing any gathering to go straight into purchasing. But like any Easter egg hunt, you have to really put in effort to not find at least a few just by accident. I don't think defeating a guardian or two is the OP's concern here.

As for exploitation, I wouldn't be too worried. 1. It's not a MMO. 2. Most people like me completely ignore ammo purchases and the like. With snails, I would rather comb the planet before sinking tickets into acquiring them. And at that point, why not??

So why post a thread about buying? Big chance people will advice you how to get them instead. If you do not have time, use the Advanced Game Settings to unlock everything. And then you can play your way, but not get the achievements you need to spend some time for

Then do so and load whatever mods you need to get the experience you're after (which is not the intended experience).

Then what are you doing here? Are you trying to get the devs attention? If so, you're in the wrong place. Try reviewing the pinned posts at the start of the forum.

[Gal Kraft]

And now a caveat, it would kinda mess up the theme. If Ficsit could supply them, why am I needed? I recognize this may not be a concern of the OP and others. So I'm falling back to a toggle setting.

If you desire is strong to not explore - and because this is a singel player game - build a container, save your game and load it in https://satisfactory-calculator.com/. There you can edit the containerinventory to your liking, save the edit/download the changed savegame and load the save .
Even though it is a pity because the map holds a lot for explorer it is your game to play.

There is a fun mod that has craftable Mercer Spheres/Somersloops. It's an end game recipe that's somewhat intense.

If you're not a modder well... We'll have to see what the devs cook up.
