Make it so instead of the oil derricks going up and down to mine put a drill on it and make it go into the terrain :3

Well, they aren't mining coal or something else, they are pumping oil.
So I don't think so.
But it could be done in a mod...

Erm, we already have them.
Those are power upgrades: Power Module, Gas Turbine Generator, Vapor Turbine Generator...

Power Generators and Oil Derricks work as one united system. One can't work without other: they are fully connected.
So upgrade of one of them affects both.

ok. thank you for the enlightenment. :)

well. on topic: the power generators burn oil to generate power, couldent there be coal deposits where you could build a mining thing? oil and coal are basicly the same thing, fosil fuel... :lecture:

Multiple resource types have been disscused before, and ended up being rejected as they would add too much micromanagement.

but i mean that there would be coal deposits that works exactly as oil derricks just a different model and the deposit is something like an abandoned mine wich you rebuild the same way with oil resourses...

As many people already said...
This is a fast RTS game, not a realistic war simlation.

Yeah, what KuKY said. Playability outweighs realism - the addition of more micromanagement of that sort will not happen.
