My most recent play (first one in 1.2) I did random nodes. I think it's a bunch more fun. It broke from the typical "this goes here and this has to go here" mindset. I started off in Grass Fields and there's three uranium deposits in the start area. It made early game pretty spicy but I'm working on building a nuclear power plant over the giant waterfall by Grass Fields. I built one in the swamp before but I hate being in the swamp so never saw it once I built it.
