Is it possible there's no concrete in my area?

[...👑 JOST AMMAN 👑...]

I'm a new player and I'm currently struggling to setup my first concrete extractor since I can't see any rubble deposit around my colony.

Could I have been so unlucky that my map doesn't have concrete at all? O_o
Should I explore further away and hope to find some?

Basically, what I'm asking is if with random generation it's guaranteed that all these resources are eventually to be found or not.

I can't say for certain but each time i've played through, i've found concrete but it's always a long way out. The last play through i did, i had to put a scouting tower on the edge of the map just to find metal, then another one after it reached 100% to find concrete.

Thanks, good to know... I'm probably only having some bad luck there I guess.
I'm also building Guard Posts farther away: we'll see.

There's two different strategies you can use to remove the fog to see the map. One is to research "leadership" which i think is about four research steps from the beginning. When you have this you can upgrade your colonies main centre and it will automatically scan about 50% of the hidden map.

Or, if you are like me and would rather put the research into other things to begin with, you can just build three scouting towers, one at the furthermost western, eastern and northern points of the map. The materials aren't much and as soon as they've scanned 100% you can demolish them to get your workers back and some of the materials. It's a very quick process providing you have three spare workers, or do one at a time if you don't. Just watch out for wild animals out there as you may need to send a specialist to deal with them.

Thanks for the tips.

I finally found concrete in a previously "fogged" area.
Good stuff!
