Hard-core game mode without tutorial rewards

I enjoy playing in a rogue-like fashion with tight resources and in sort-of a survival mode. On the hardest difficulty that implies to carefully plan with the tutorial rewards and thus I have to structure my game along those. That takes away a good deal of agency in my decisions: I put down e.g. the copper supply chain not because I need copper (yet), but because of the construction parts.
I would appreciate a game mode where the tutorial rewards are turned off.
BUT without the hard mode becoming impossible (I think currently that would be the case)
