If your specific problem is oil, it might be easier to install a mod that makes oil patches more visible. Do you have any suggestions for this in particular? I took a look over http://www.factoriomods.com/most-popular/category/oil and a brief Google search but didn't see anything outstanding for th...

Have you tried using the map editor? You can use the same map gen settings and try different seeds and then scroll around to view the map in detail. There is no fog of war in the editor so you can look at as much of the map as you want. This was what I was doing at first, but I got tired of waiting...

After seeing this thread I went and made myself a couple of maps with all of the settings a...

Unlikely to be considered a bug since the change log lists "Map generator algorithm changed, further resource field now have greater richness."

Happens with any mod after clicking on 3-5 of them or so. I don't believe I've seen it happen on the first mod click yet, but I suppose I can't say that it won't happen then either. 0.000 2016-06-27 15:56:09; Factorio 0.13.0 (Build 22782, win64, alpha) 0.000 Operating system: Windows 10 0.000 Progra...
