You can run this command in console to make an oil patch near you. (press ~). Running a command disables achievements (you get a warning and have to do it again, it tells you in-game)
Code: Select all
/c local surface=game.player.surface
if surface.get_tile(game.player.position.x+1, game.player.position.y+1).collides_with("ground-tile") then
surface.create_entity({name="crude-oil", amount=300000, position={game.player.position.x+1, game.player.position.y+1}})
end
300,000 = 10 oil per second aka a 100% patch
Code stolen from the game wiki's Console page and modified a little bit so it only makes one spot. Making another map wouldn't guarantee any oil, so sadly you might've had to keep re-rolling.

If you decide instead to make a new map, I suggest you use the map preview to make sure your island has enough of all resources to play it. Those island starts are interesting but there are no guarantees any given seed will produce a winnable map.
