3x metal veins. 0x other veins

[boris]

I have only metal deposits.

I scanned like 30 tiles in all directions.

Restart campaign now i guess?

Can devs please regenerate the veins when some super ultra basic conditions are not met?

foreach (resourcetype)
if nearby < 1 then ReseedTheBloodyVeins()
if veryclose > 2 then ReseedTheBloodyVeins()
end

Same. All my seeds lack aluminum.

[Nargon]

Yeah same for me. That is the god of RNG. I found 5x iron, 4x silicon, 4x aluminum, 3x ice, but only 1x titanium vein somewhat near the elevator. I needed to scan really far, then I found another 10+ veins, but still no more titanium. I didn't give up and kept scanning and got lucky today and found 2 new titanium veins yay.
The cheapest belt from veins to elevator area cost me about 45k credits.

I only found aluminum after I had already unlocked the mobile miner on my most recent attempt. Tons of Silicon and Iron, moderate titanium, and zero aluminum. Fortunately the larger amount of silicon was good in generating smart concrete!

[Zorack]

thats not enough, you have to scan even deeper, i think i have at least 4 deposits of each resource, underground is bigger than i expected

[Undead Llama]

I CC this issue - no Ti or Al within 20k ERG radius of elevator is a hard sell.

Had a recent seed that was created with a massive wall of rare earth wall from NW to SES, with the only detected ore nodes being Si or H2O.

Boris suggestion for force balanced start code; ReseedTheBloodlyVeins() is a great line of code ^^

Around the elevator there is a mandatory vein of titanium, 2 mandatory veins of silicon and 1 of water. In random locations but within a limited distance. Are you sure you scanned everything?

[Trasherke]

any chance you can tell us in what radius that should be? I don't have any titanium, i saved and reloaded so i could scan everthing with max range and i have not found any.

нету, у лифта есть рядом всегда силиконы и метал, льда нет, титан и алюминий нашел спустя много времени, а так сидел из мелких остатков с других шахт.

+1.
In 5 attempts, I did not have a single aluminum deposit. Last time I dug up the ENTIRE map. Silicon, iron, titanium, ice are in abundance in about 8 deposits. No aluminum.
This is a bad RNG system.

I tend to mine out quite a big square area round my elevator (at least 30-40 in every direction) and then I build a ore detector at each corner. This allows me scan a much larger area in the earlier game and I can plan my base from there. You can then turn them off if you don't want to waste the power.

I've found the rarer resources are definitely further away from the centre so be patient and you will hopefully find plenty.

I've probably built 5 big bases on different maps and have always found plenty of resources.

Edit: here's a tip btw I noticed a few play-throughs ago. If you go into your scanner view, look at a dark section of unexplored terrain and do a little wiggle back and forth with left and right (using A & D). The resource nodes tend to flicker as a tiny pixel in the dark. This can make knowing where to scan much easier. :)
