Bug or the most epic seed for oil? 1,6K buckets.

If it were that way we would end up with oil in tree tops.. And that's not the case.. Of course i haven't looked at it either so im just talking without any knowledge except for gameplay.. So i may be wrong.

We do end up with oil in tree tops. It is a common issue with redwoods actually.

Never saw one :/ then.. idk what the fuck is wrong with my oil thing

then it might just be filtering vanilla leaves and wood

Hmmm, on the RR server I've tapped an oil well that has filled my 10k steel tank. I have about 200 buckets of refined fuel in another steel tank and I've only pulled about half of the oil from the well.

I only state this because iirc, tanks show millibuckets. Which means you only pulled 1,600 full buckets from that well. It makes the spout abnormal but the well, pretty small to average in size AFAIK. (just noting this because people tend to get excited, thinking they have millions of buckets)

Its buildcraft checking for highest non air block (ignoring blacklisted items like vanilla trees)

You'll see similar things in the twilight forest.​

Guess it makes oil spouts easier to find

I know its just 1,6k buckets, thats why is't on the title.. xD But, at least for the ones I found, it's pretty big, my average was 500 or 600 buckets.

Oil spawns are different every generation and are not controlled by the seed.

However, it's neither a bug nor working as intended. Oil spouts look for the highest point to spawn at, and it perceives the new Natura clouds as such. This doesn't really get you much oil, as the area above the pool is just a single stack of source blocks.

So we finally get 1.5.2. And then they give us giant black phallic towers that pierce the heavens.

@chocorate: it's equally funny, if a village is directly below a natura-cloud. the houses which are supposed to spawn below the cloud appear ontop of the cloud on a large cobblestone pillow.

I'm actually okay with village spawn screw up; they're bound to happen. As long as they look good, they're okay. This one time I had a small house spawn partway inside of a bigger house, and one villager just kept spazzing out opening the door while the others were like, "lol omg wtf r u ok dude lol" I cant remember how much I left, but it was too much.
