Crude Oil

Crude Oil is a fluid resource found in the world. It is refined into all kinds of Oil-based resources, like Fuel, Rubber and Plastic. Its packaged form is Packaged Oil.

Obtaining
Crude Oil may be located using the Resource Scanner after completing the Tier 5 milestone "Oil Processing". It can't be mined manually, it has to be extracted with an Oil Extractor. 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 Extractors with 250% overclock, Mk.5 belt). (valid August 2019)
