Harder Start

Description:
This mod makes it so when you start a new colony, the map doesn't generate ruins or resources on the ground at the start location or around the map. There will be zero resources on the ground except ship chunks. Meaning that no silver, survival meals, steel or wood will be on the ground. Trees, steel ore and other various items will still generate on the map but they wont be ready to be haul to a stockpile. You'd have to chop/mine to start right away.

Compatibility
Harder start V1.0 not compatible with EdB's Prepare Carefully.
Harder start with prep care v2.0 is compatible with Edb's Prepare Carefully.
Also most likely not compatible with any mod that changes the mapgenerator.xml file.

Fantastic mod idea. Will dowload it for next game in a nicer biome then icesheet.

So it just makes all your stuff spawn on the other side of the map? I'm not sure I get what makes this tougher. Maybe a little more tedious with the hauling but not really tougher...

Am I missing something?

You shouldnt have any resources on the map when you start. The only "resource" on the map(when you start) should be ship chunks. Otherwise there should be no survival meals, steel, silver, or wood that needs to be hauled to a stockpile.

Are you still getting resources on the map when you play with this mod?
