Ribbon world resource spread

Post by Shish »

Started a new ribbon world because it seemed like a fun twist, I'm pretty sure I left it at default settings though I don't know how to confirm

* Nauvis mostly went fine, but I needed to go miles and miles to find uranium; seemed weird but ok
* Now on vulcanis, there was 7k coal in my starting area, and no tungsten in sight, slightly concerning
* Kill all the small demolishers east and west... still no coal or tungsten
* Kill all the medium demolishers... still none
* Start expanding so far that I'm needing to take down big demolishers to make any progress... I found coal \o/ But still my main source of tungsten is the demolisher corpses, no ore patches within radar range

I get how having no tungsten in the starter area safe-zone is a fun challenge and encouragement to take down a demolisher... but surely by the time I'm taking down big ones, I should have found at least one tungsten patch by now? T_T

(Starting to wonder if I should just abandon this universe and restart with massively above-default resource frequency, rather than struggling through to Gleba only to find that the two farming-soil patches are so far apart that one can't bring their produce into the centre before it spoils, and I go from "frustrated" to "actually softlocked"...)

Update: After taking down 7 Big Demolishers I found my first tungsten patch, which at least confirms that this isn't a bug where it doesn't spawn at all...
