I have noticed that oil now has a new property in prototype: Anyone knows how it works and if it's related to new mechanics that is supposed to increase minimum amount of oil further out?

Every time an infinite-type resource "ticks" lower it's lowered by that amount. If not given, it defaults to 1.

If you use it? Every tick or every second?

Ah, useful information, I probably need to remove that from being applied to every infinite resource in my mod. or at least change my default to 1.

it "Ticks" when the bar fills up and you get a resource, so how often it ticks depends on ore hardness, ore mining time, miner's mining speed, and miner's mining power.

Oil ticks once a second due to the perfect balance on all 4 stats.

Ohh so not what I was expecting at all
Can you explain how the minimum value increase works for infinite resources then?
