Is there any possible way to use this mod without the huge impact on oil yields? I produce so much more than I need regularly but with this mod it's reduced to a I would have to increase my oil production by an insane amount.
I'm trying this mod because I'm 150 hours in and I regret not picking different world generation options for my first play through, ore veins dry up so quickly I can't even fully build out a base before I need to start planning a new one due to running out of resources in the area, but it's impact on oil negates most of the benefits of the mod

I thought maybe there would be a value I could tweak in the mod files pertaining to oil yields but I can't find anything
And sorry for listing as Idea/Suggestion, I was going to make a suggestion and then saw someone else recently suggested configurable yields and decided to just voice my issue instead, forgot to change post category

Thanks for the feedback. The main reason I didn't want to provide a setting or something for this was to keep the mod as simple as possible. If I start trying to tweak the yields of things, I'd want to do the same for modded resources, which isn't as obvious or easy to test. So I leave it up the to user to tweak the map generation settings to control the overall availability of resources.

I've never tried this, but I vaguely remember there being some way to change map generation settings for a running game, maybe with some mod or console command or something, you could try something like that.

If you don't care about modded oil-like resources, you can try another mod like https://mods.factorio.com/mod/booomit-infinite-resources or https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Unlimited-Resources.

I'll have to give the barrykun one a shot, I tried booomit and a couple others and went with yours as the others increased my ore yields such an insane amount that my drilling setups became kinda pointless. I went from a full big setup in order to fill my belts to being able to do it with 2 drillers per belt keeping up with my plate production and all the other drills never ran bc the belts were crazy backed up, it felt cheap and super....'cheaty'. Yours is the only one I tried that seems to make the drills produce ore at the normal rate while making the resource patch infinite which is exactly what I'm looking for.

I've been avoiding doing anything that'll stop me from getting achievements (at least the in-game ones, I didn't know until it was too late that modding in general blocks steam achievements) but I might just go with that and save the achievements for another run
