I was stuck on the can in my most recent game. Patrol ship slammed my wreck. I had to grab my **** and nomad it. I was walking forever looking for promethium. At one point I spent about 10 minutes huddled by the emergency o2 gen with a handful of fuel.
I pretty much abandon the initial "free" little fort they are giving us. It's pretty much useless because the Patrol ship comes and kills it 100% of the time. My first restart with the new system saw me have to start over because I set up my constructor and emergency O2 by the shelter and I couldn't get it because the patrol ship just camps that area after it kills the wreck.
