Do Mercer Spheres respawn?

[playlessNamer]

or are they limited?
When they are limited, how many are there?
Any other way to get them exept finding?

[Spikenard]

there are 298 of the spheres

[DivineEvil]

1) Yes.
2) ^^^
3) No.

Mercer spheres, Somersloop, Power Slugs and Hard drives do not respawn. There are a limited number of each within the game.

[playlessNamer]

When you make a big run and collect 25 of them and then fall into nothing and die... they are gone forever.
I dont like limited ressources.

thx for the answers.

there are 298, 97 are needed for tech leaving 200 for containers, thats 1 sphere per container. losing 50 is bad, but thats a reload if i ever saw one. no need to eat that loss. unless its on a server, then its up to admin.

Just turn off the option to lose your inventory on death, you will respawn at your HUB with everything and it doesn't impact achievements.

my lizard doggo found me a purple power slug so slugs are at the very least hypothetically unlimited... maybe they can find spheres/loops too?

[Urtho Rashkae]

calculator does not have a spawn list, and other site says no mercer/sloop.

unconfirmed, but unlikely.

NO Snutt, said in the launch stream Tuesday the tenth of September 2024 that there is a certain number of them so the player has to think where they can be used the best. There is not enough to use them for everything so plan carefully.

Aww, had there been 2 more, it would've been enough to complete the achievement for 2 players.

There should be a death crate close to where you fell into the void.

I think there are more than enough to finish all the MAM research and have quite some dimensional depots. Unless of course there is something with them in Tier 9 but I'm not that far yet.

You need one mercer per item you want to store. So you can store 201 items if you collect them all and complete the research tree.

One trick to filter if you want an item in there or not is the question if the item is used for building. Filters and ammo are nice to have.

Heat Sinks and Pressure conversion cubes are not used for building so why would you need them available in the depot?

Another one is the not fully automateables like solid biofuel. Maybe an exception for the bio jet pack fuel

I played before release and threw some of these spheres into the abyss so that they would not be annoying. It turns out they are gone forever and I need to start a new game? Or did these spheres respawn with the release of 1.0?

you need to start new game anyway. there is lot of map and other changes that make prerelease save uncompatible. also i think there is much more spheres then before

also slugs can be bring by doggos and also there is new mam tech to produce artificial power packs. so looks like they sorta unlimited.
