Some people like me like to play with low resource settings. Normal resources are usually generated, but with oil is a serious problem. I can not generate oil in such a way that the number of deposits was 1-6 and no more.

Here are some examples.
Low frequency, high size.


Low frequency, normal size.


Low frequency, low size.


Low frequency, very low size.


As you can see there is no difference between these settings.

Sometimes the generation breaks down so that the oil is very difficult to find.

PS
Does oil depend on biome? Logically, there should be more oil in the deserts.

Looks like you have more than just the base game ores there.

For some reason, when you have extra ores added, it seems to mess up how oil generates, and I'm not sure why. It's a known issues with Bob's ores mod.

I had a discussion about it with Bilka on source access discord channel a while ago. I'm not sure what came of the conversation.

However, I'm fairly sure they're re-working the map generator yet again for 0.17...

That able not only with mods.

In vanila default settings sometimes can be generated 100x higher oil patches near start point.
from 500% to 50k%, not so often.

fff-258 has rework of generation, will see soon...
