No metal to scavenge in my colony

[Punishment 102]

I finally get the tech researched to build a scrapper to get metal only to find out that there is absolutely no where around my base to collect metal. I understand resources are random but there should be some of each type at least. Now I cant build any of the more advanced buildings

You will have to expand the visible area by building towers at the edge of the fog.

Without a doubt, the most lame game mechanic they have added, especially as the game doesn't tell you that you have to do this to find other resources.

Literally waiting days now for a slow % bar to tick up to randomly discover areas that might contain metal, as EVERYTHING i need to build requires metal and its only day 5

They've added 2-3 times more metal deposits compared to the last update, even at 100% difficulty. Once I started planting scout towers to push back the fog, I found plenty of metal and don't feel constrained to tech toward Extractors first.

+1 Syntax, on the quantities.

I push Extractors still to keep my bases less spread out to save walking all over tarnation.

But, yeah, the resources are out there.

If you don't do the Extractors build a NEW resource gatherer next to the new sites and a NEW stockpile. Saves lots of walking time.
