Alright, the last bit of, you know, strange phenomena that you're gonna run into on the planet is the Mercer Sphere.
And the Mercer Sphere has only one purpose or use case.
but it is a good one, okay?
With Mercer Spheres, you're going to be able to create a new building called the Dimensional Depot.
So with the Mercer Sphere, you're going to be able to craft this storage container-looking building, right?
It looks like an ordinary storage container.
You are wrong, okay?
it it's it it is a storage container it looks kind of fancy but this is actually the dimensional depot uploader so what you do with this building is you place it down you hook it up with the conveyor belt and you feed parts into it and what it does it uploads any part that's put into the storage container up to the dimensional depot and if you look over here real quick i've got my regular inventory but there's this little button here that i can also press and if i press this button
I'm gonna get access to the Dimensional Depot wherever I am on the map.
It's all there on the cloud.
So yeah, essentially you're going to be able to set up production lines that you can feed and produce parts and upload them to the Dimensional Depot and be able to access them wherever you are on the map, anytime, anyplace.
It is so nice to do this.
you can just drag and drop any item into your inventory and they're just gonna like be there uh immediately they're just gonna you're gonna download them from dimensional depot right away i don't know if i need to spell this out for you but this means that you no longer need to like run back and forth between bases when you start running into out of materials when you're building like as another base or another outpost or whatever like i really think that this has been one of the biggest gripes that i've had when playing this game is that
You're constantly, like, expanding your factory, but every time you do, you have to, like, keep track of all this stuff.
And you need to, like, sort out logistical nightmares just to be able to get the parts you need to be able to keep building your factories.
And with the Dimensional Depot, it just makes everything nicer and so much easier to be able to keep playing the game, essentially.
And here's the thing too, from your inventory, you can also upload any parts to the Dimensional Depot, like from wherever you are, but there is a limited amount of slots that you can use to be able to do this.
And one thing you might have also noticed is that downloading is instant, but uploading takes time.
There's going to be a limit as to how many parts you can upload to the Dimensional Depot, and there's also a limit as to how many parts you can have at the Dimensional Depot at the same time.
Stack sizes are a bit limited on the Dimensional Depot, but the thing is, both of those things, like the upload speed and the stack size on the Dimensional Depot, both of these things are going to be able to be upgraded in the MAM.
And one really, really cool thing on top of all this stuff is that when you're building out in the world, it will also grab whatever parts that you need to place whatever building you're doing from the Dimensional Depot.
So if you're running out of parts in your inventory, you don't need to download them into your inventory.
They're just gonna be there when you build.
It's...
It's so, it's so good.
It's so good.
And it's also possible to set like, when you're building buildings, whether you want the parts for that building to come first from your inventory, or if you want them to come from the Dimensional Depot at first and save the stuff that you have in your inventory for later.
But here's the thing with Dimensional Depot, this is purely for your own personal use.
It's only for your personal inventory.
So you're not gonna be able to take advantage of this for any production lines.
So while you're gonna be able to set up like steel production, feed those parts into Dimensional Depot so you can access them wherever, you're not gonna be able to take those parts and like set up another production chain somewhere else and just like grab them from the Dimensional Depot and start producing new parts from those things.
So the Dimensional Depot isn't gonna be used for any type of like production automation or anything like that.
that's not how the Dimensional Depot works.
It's purely for your personal inventory.
