Recipe for creating a pentapod egg is not unlocked so there is no way to get the first egg for duplication.
"Pentapod egg development" should be avalible after gleaba but with no agri science to start science production but there is no research that unlocks it.
I also found no way to get the first tree seed.

Edit: Same goes for biter eggs "Biter egg mutation" is not a researchable recipe

Many thanks for pointing it out!

While is see the usefulness of Nauvis specific chunks they seem like a bandaid solution.
It is true that earlygame is slow but platforms are already way cheaper than base game.
Getting wood out of an asteroid has no benefit outside of getting the first seed since wood itself has little use but growing it in greenhouses can be a source of oil.
A simple solution would be to give a few seeds at the start together with a custom message to warn how valuable they are. To make it interresting you can turn it into lore "Your task is to attempt to seed life on the fragments of the Shattered Planet. Protect these seeds at all cost as they are the last remining. Find a way to multiply them and deliver your cargo."
Alternatively just like pentapod eggs you could add a recipe to synthesise a seed without needing wood or seeds that way even if a player loses all wood and seed they can restart production.(A way to turn excess wood into something else would be nice too eg. oil, water, fertilizer?)

Honestly I wanted the Nauvis chunks for the foundation itself. I was wondering what to add for advanced crushing so wood just... filled that niche.

It will go against your wish but how about this?

Instead of adding platforms as a loot how about making nauvis chunks into wood(you'd need to find a use for wood eg.coal, oil[Nauvis specific resource], nutrients)/uranium source as that makes sense with unique resources of this planet
Iron chunks being reverted to vanilla recipes thus removing raw metals and uranium from them and changing lava production to take chunks instead.

To compesate for slow earlygame (since this is the only time platforms from chunks would any value) unlock thrusters and basic fuel production from the start or even give the player 1 thruster and 3 chemplants + basic recipes.

On second thought a platform can't fly without a destination so adding a Nauvis orbit location near Nauvis that spawns little to no asteroids that can damage the ship would solve the issue if it required little research or was unlocked from the start. After all the hardest part early on is not platforms but lack of plastic you need for 1500 science to start moving (thruster+planet).

FYI If you want to give one planet from the start Vulcanus is the weakest since once you start moving resources are abundant but circuits, oil, and power are the limit. You could also split Vulcanus(or any planet) research into cheap destination and standard 1000 for the rest after that.
