Thank you so much, this is exactly the kind of feedback we were hoping for! You're right on several points: oil doesn't keep up with prices after the first beacons, and running the wick at Signal on auto is too clearly the best choice, so the wick and night-post decisions stop mattering. We're working on making oil scale with your progress and making the wick a real trade-off. And no, you're not playing it wrong: we want it to stay interesting when you play actively, not just wait. We'll post a devlog when the fix is out. Thanks for playing that far!
