Hi,

Map originally generated on release date.

Pumpjack placement conflicts with the cliff. Expecting pumpjack to be placed without requiring the cliff to be destroyed.
Save is attached and should demonstrate the same issue.

I'm fairly certain that the map generator has never checked for this. Not for distance of oil fields & cliffs on Nauvis in 1.1 nor for solid resource patches and cliffs so that you can build mining drills.
Considering that you get cliff explosives on Vulcanus, this observed map generation is at best a minor inconvenience – considering that you have easily a dozen accessible sulfuric acid geysers …

Never came across this myself, and figuring it would be a bug.

Thanks for the report, I think this is not a bug.
