Not enough oil

It seems we are always scrambling to get enough oil for all the families. Currently all the wells to the east of the ginger family are exhausted for quite a distance, and to the west the first tarry spot is over 1600 tiles away, and it has already been used quite a bit. This means an increasingly long distance to travel to get oil, which is not so much fun.

I do appreciate the idea that the game should never be 'easy' and there should never be a moment where there is nothing left to do. But for older families the oil supply simply gets exhausted and there seems to be no way to recover from that. Most of the things in the game are renewable or in plentiful supply, but not oil. It would be good if there would also be a way to resupply oil. It could be difficult or expensive, but at least it should be possible I think.

You could move with your family to a new spot, closer to tarry spots

Re: Not enough oil

That's just the game telling you it is time to let your family die. 

Why fight the inevitable?   A new family will replace yours, and they will be closer to the oil.

Not since Eve spawns can get moved towards areas with depleted tarry spots, and it's even potentially worse since players can affect how Eve spawns work.
