Asteroid Surface Start

[harpyeagle]

The idea: As an option, allow for new games to start on the surface of the asteroid instead of deep inside of it.

Since starting in hard vacuum would make the game extremely short, the player would start off with a pre-generated home pod that has embedded itself into the side of the asteroid. The pod would contain the initial duplicant generator, and a starting supply of water and oxygen, perhaps other things also.

Could be fun, in a crashlanding way.
Goal for that mode could be to obtain materials to repair the pod.
