Is there any idea for a Category Extension Leaderboard being added? I think there would be many possibilities for interesting or funny runs in Satisfactory which could be more about the exploring factor of the game. For example something like collecting a certain number of Slugs or Hard Drives or visiting specific points on the map. Or just reaching amounts of items like a full storage box of modular frames or any other item which requires a bit of automation.
I kinda get it to collect either all hard drives / all blue slugs / all yellow slugs / etc i would not get it doing just a few of them.
edit: more categories is fun as long there are people willing to run them.
you can suggest categories you personally want to run here, please also provide concrete numbers and rules will add them to a misc section
In addition to just being fun, a good thing with these is lowering the barrier to entry by making faster, shorter speedruns with less on the line, making quick-fun ones pretty valuable.
A few super short ones we've been running for fun or brainstorming on stream...
- Doggo%: Tame a lizard doggo with a paleberry as fast as possible
- Ore%: Collect 1 of every ore: Bauxite, Caterium, Coal, Copper, Iron, Limestone, Quartz, SAM, Sulfur, Uranium. Use of ore outcrops is allowed. (possibly a subcategory for No-RNG so you can't use any outcrops that change on world reload, but those that are permanent are allowed?)
- Slug%: Collect 1 of each kind of slug: Blue, Yellow, Purple
Longer fun ones we've done/mentioned:
- Hub%: All the same as package%, except the goal is to complete the introduction and finish the HUB
- All HDs: Must collect every hard drive from every crash site on the map
- All slugs: Must collect every slug of any rarity (especially fun for Purple slugs)
- MAM%, Unlock all (or most) of the MAM, or just one tree of it
