Spawning oil rigs everywhere

[Wuzzy]

In my opinion, the best thing about the Temperate climate zone are the oil rigs. I like them a lot because they give a reason to build an oil empire only with ships.

But I have noticed the oil rigs only spawn at the borders of the map. This might be an issue for very large maps with lots of water.

So, is it possible to allow oil rigs to spawn everywhere (maybe with a reasonable distance from land)? Maybe with a NewGRF?

There's a setting for it:



I'm not sure whether it covers "everywhere", but given the max is 128 and it claims to scale with larger maps I think it might.

i'm fairly sure there is a NewGRF for that

Oh, it says MAXIMUM distance from edge. Funny enough, I have seen this setting, but I had a brainfart and read "minimum" distance for some reason, so I thought it was of no use for me. Now everything makes sense.

Wow, there really is a setting for everything in OpenTTD.
