Oh right, I'll do that. Anyways, micdoodle8 messaged me and told me the newest dev build fixed the oil generation. I guess that solves that.

Alright, the seed is -4751351843970195279

The coordinates for the island are:

x= -1349.62190
z= 630.18318

Interesting. I've certainly gotten an expanded perspective on the matter.

Of what I know is this issue began when the oil was rewritten in build #315. If you'd load an old world that already got oil generated with a newer build of Galacticraft, it would expand into a black mess that would no longer be capable of interacting with any mobs nor players alike. However, I did manage to use an oil extractor on a presumed source block. It allowed me to perform an infinite extraction of oil. Although, if I stopped the process, it appeared I couldn't extract from that source anymore. I'm also suspecting some original oil deposits that was untouched could have vanished as well, but I'm not sure.

Anyway, here's a visual example:

This is how exposed oil deposits could typically look like in build #314. It works like a charm.

When I loaded the same world again with a later build (this one being #410 [which is also the last 1.5.2 compatible version]) the oil will expand and it will lose the ability to physically interact with mobs as well as not being able to drown you anymore.
