Is it normal for there to be only one source of Oil on a map?

I seem to be on a map that only has 1 Oil.  Fortunately it is in my territory but that significantly limits what end game units can be built by anyone, including myself. 


Maybe I'm not seeing the others? Is there a way like in Civ that you can Search for Oil and have it tab through the different locations?

It is going to be fixed an the upcoming patch that we got details about today.


I haven't seen a way to search the map, like in Civ, but it would be a welcomed feature.

Congratulations.. You've won the game! The only source of oil in all of the world!

Honestly the Victor OpenDev should have started us in the Industrial age and let us play through.  They clearly didn't get enough data.

Try the new Beta patch if you own Humankind via Steam. Just had a playthrough and the first time I had a map with more then two oil. Iirc the medium 70% pangaea map had 4-5 oil in total. While it is still a little bit exhausting to own 40-50% of the land mass to have enough ressources on your own, it is a good progress to have at least "valid" maps with theoretically enough ressources which previously was not guaranted.

Wait, so with only ONE source of oil on my map, I cannot even complete the Science victory because building the lunar lander takes 2 oil!?!? OMG that is next level omission.  A map that doesn't have the capacity to achieve one of the victory conditions. Sheesh

Actually thats a end condition to end the game faster than normal, you dont win from a space race victory, who wins is still based on the amount of fame you have, meaning you can achieve a end condition and still lose to someone with more fame.
