So I've noticed that there are "chunks" missing out of the resource patches that are remarkably similar to nearby bodies of water. It's almost as if the generation was shifted slightly from the location where it was "supposed" to be.
I've noticed it's not always shifted to the west as shown in my screenshot. it seems to be shifted towards the direction of the starting area. So, resource patches to the south are shifted north. Resource patches to the west are shifted east, and so on. Also, it seems to get more pronounced as you get further away from the starting area.
