I looked through the discussions and couldn't find an answer there. But do you need to start a new world in order to have the oil spawn in the world or is there another way to make it work?

I found them. Never mind. lol Great mod!

so ... you need a new world or they start spamming around??!?! (if this mod is added to an already started game)

when the mod is active the patches spawn on newly discovered water tiles. so no need for a new game- you just have to explore further.

thank you for timing reply!

went very far from base ... still no oil patch in the water :/

you can adjust the frequency of oil spawns in the mod-settings. maybe that helps...

i put it at their max value

Also, if you use a mod (like Factorio World) that replaces water tiles, you can manually add it to this mods info.json as a dependency, that way the oil will be placed after the other mod places water tiles. (@schnurrebutz Might be good to add some of those mods as optional dependencies, not sure what others)

Example info.json change:

"dependencies": ["base >= 0.16", "? factorio-world"],

Logically, this would be a responsibility of mods like factorio-world to load/run first, but I don't think the mod api allows for that.

hey bitbased- that really works? if so that would be an easy fix for the missing dependency and i will definitely add it.

" Also, if you use a mod (like Factorio World) that replaces water tiles"

I have only mod "Noxys waterfill" ... might it be that causing the issue?
