Regret Exploring New Territory. Can it be removed/undone?

Out of curiosity, I unlocked the desert territory to see what it was all about. Plunked down one building, I think it was an Auto Shop, and nothing else. Decided it wasn't worth it to open up a set of region specific items, and thought I could "abandon" it.

 

Fast forward a few days, saved, and prepared for an Epic. Upon starting, I noticed two things. First, only 1 challenge at a time, where in the past I recall seeing two. Second, sure enough within the first 5 challenges, it asks for an obscure Auto Shop item that I don't see posted often.

 

The first time I encountered something obscure was the "bolt" item, which is supposedly obtained from setting up trains. Great! ☹️ Another special one off. The good news was that I could put the train away by "hiding" it, and anytime the game wanted a bolt, I could skip it, or in the case of construction, get new building plans, and it was a way around the obscurity.  Now, this is affecting an epic challenge, which has no way around it, considering only one challenge at a time, and crafting the quantity needed would consume 25% of the 24 hour allotment, and it's within the first 5 challenge of just starting.

 

Is there a way around this? I think this isn't a great experience, and regional specific items should be more commonly available when you are at that specific region's Marketplace. If it is to be integrated into the Global Marketplace, then, there needs to be much more uniform distribution of the item's availability within a REASONABLE timeframe. I spent 1.5 hours searching the marketplace and not surprisingly, since it's so obscure, I never came across it.

 

Known issue?

    Unfortunately you cannot undo the regions, and may need their items over and over. You can at least creat the extra storage, it gives you an additional 20 storage per region if you built it. I have a city having 4 regions, and more than half the items i need for anything are regional items. Too bad. 
    the bolts were a mistake, if you needed them you were in the betaversion of the mass transit. Fortunately you now only need those items when building of upgrading living quarters. But you can skip them with an architect.

    @SimBuildItPlayer The comments I’ve seen are, there’s no way back. Items demanded include any regions open. Railway applies to all, I’m in the dark about what causes specific items to be required.

    Hope that helps.
