When starting Dawn of Galaxy on Maiy there is no single resource rock on the planet. Only normal rocks for crushed stones. I mean you can use them to get any of the base resources but this will need a lot of stones to get a motorbike and a drill. Is this intended to be a hard start or a bug ?
Seems intended, which is why it's considered a higher difficulty start: it was just a little slower and more stressful at the beginning.
Tried it recently in a8.7.1 where there are ways to get resources, just need some skills though. The first mission POI is not too difficult and can be done early, OK loot from that. EDIT: Could be a bit more info on some missions. For the Asylum it is a bit misleading saying that have to take out alien presence, when the goal is only to find the portal. Also no sentry turrets work.
