Factorio Forums

Hi.

I just did a clean install of all factorio mods last week, and downloaded all bob's mods through this forum.

Ive played for 12 hours into my campaign now, and finally I had to go find som new oil patches.

My problem is, there is no oil patches to be found, zero, zip, no oil fields whatsoever.

I'm using RSO together with all the bob's mods, and additional other mods like autofill, autoresearch, etc etc.

Can there be a bug with the ground water and lithia water patches spawning instead of the oil patches?

Thanks.

Can you post the save in question?
It's possible that something is broken or you are unlucky and need to explore far away

You can try to get Big Brother or one of rso radar mods to extend radar range for large scale search operation.
Ground water and lithia water are treated separately and won't displace oil (unles I messed up stuff in RSO).

Here's the save.

Also I came to think of it.

I've modified the config of Bob's mods so that the old recipes for water works through bob's pumps. I've also turned on God modules.

I finally found some oil. It's stupendously far away.. Guess I'm just unlucky with my map generation...
