Crude Oil

Crude Oil is a resource found in the world. It is refined into all kinds of Oil-based resources, like fuel, rubber and plastic. It can additionally be utilized directly as fuel for vehicles.

Obtaining
Crude Oil may be located using the Resource Scanner after completing the tier 5 milestone "Oil Processing". It can't be mined manually, but it can be extracted with a Portable Miner or an Oil Pump. Oil is commonly located far away from the player starting point so a well prepared exploration is needed to reach it.

It can also be obtained from cutting down certain plants that contain oil.

There are currently 30 Crude Oil Resource nodes in-game; 9 impure, 14 normal and 7 pure. This means the upper limit of harvest rate is 9750 Crude Oil/min (Oil Pumps with 250% overclock, Mk.5 belt). (valid August 2019)
