Carbon Substrate / Portable Constructor issue
I am starting a new SP game, select Scenario, pick Project Eden, select Akua as starting planet.

When I start, I do not have a Portable Constructor and unlocking it costs 1 research point.
Fair enough.

But in order to construct it, I need carbon substrate.
But in order to get carbon substrate, I would need a portable constructor.
There are no carbon rocks around, only stones that yield crushed rocks.
The survival constructor is unable to create carbon substrate from crushed rocks.

As the tutorial progresses, at some point I am asked to craft a tent... which also requires carbon substrate. Manually skipping ahead and the tutorial now wants me to collect iron ore in order to craft the portable constructor... which is not how that is crafted anymore in 1.9.

Game version is 1.9.2, Project Eden version is 1.9.
I just downloaded/installed the game fresh, so there can't be a cache issue.

... what's going on?
Am I doing something wrong here?
It seems to me that maybe the Project Eden Akua start hasn't been updated for Empyrion 1.9 but I might be wrong, I can't find any information about what is the supported version.

For the carbon I recommend just using the item menu to cheat yourself in some carbon to get started OR find a carbon deposit to mine.
I am no longer supporting vanilla content or missions in the scenario. I recommend looking at Reforged Eden instead as that is where I am now focusing my efforts.

Oh, that's sad to read.

I tried Reforged Eden, but was turned off by having my first base on Akua (and myself) shot to pieces by a completely overpowered squad of Zirax soldiers and drones (latter of which seemed impervious to my sniper gun?) within just a few minutes of having plunked down my first few cement blocks.
What I took from that is that you're not really supposed to build bases early in RE - but that's exactly what I like doing, so I figured RE just isn't for me.

So I wanted to have the "vanilla but with much more stuff" experience instead.
Sad to hear that won't be happening, but I get you should focus your work on what you enjoy most.
