This is a world save where only the first quest (landing on the planet) has been completed, so the story is entirely in your hands. I don't know about the randomness, but I placed large containers with all types of resources in the game south of the base. Basic resources, smelted resources, all gases, and all complex materials, plus echo chips. Everything is in large containers (400 solids, 2000 gases). I had to open the RTG, large rover, large tanks, and small and medium shuttles, so you'll save money on that. The world is untouched, so all planets have pristine landscapes—play to your heart's content. This is a Steam save with two DLCs: Glitchwalkers and Megatech, game version 1.36.46.0.

Enjoy your story!
