[0.14.14} Oil not spawning

Post by CabbageFoot »

I started a game on 0.14.14 with all resource "frequency" set to "very low" so that I have a reason to use trains a bunch for re-supply runs. Sadly after exploring A LOT of my map (about max radar scanning areas in total) i did not see any oil at all spawn. I am playing on the gog.com alpha build (mac version).

I have never noticed this before on any of my maps.
But if you can share the mapstring someone will be able to check if there truly is no oil on your map.

Yep, very low is very low. Generate a new map or keep exploring and you'll find oil eventually. That's not a bug - that's what random generation is. Random.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

Go to load game screen and select the save - there is a button on that screen to get the map string.

Thanks! but I took the initiative to look for oil some more and I finally found some super far away and covered in a huge colony. My next challenge will be securing that oil or finding some which is closer by ;b I'm stuck on green tech for the time being ;b
