Has anyone tried random nodes?

Hi. With 1.2 out I’m considering another foray into the game.

Has anyone tried playing with randomized nodes? Curious to hear your experience and what settings you went with.

I’m wondering if it would end up being just a wild amount of transit logistics to get things where they need to be. But … maybe that’s okay?

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.

It theoretically could be wild but the amount of basic nodes are so high that Early game doesn't seem as hard as I thought it would be. Like it feels like so far that once I get to trains I'll be set. I got little outposts everywhere instead of just having my main base in the same spot as I always had before because the nodes where perfect for me. Now I actually have to go look for good nodes that are close to each other
