Resource Well

experimental

The Resource Well are specific locations in the world from which raw fluid resources can be extracted:, and. A can be built on the central node to pressurize (or activate) it, which allows  to be built on the secondary (satellite) nodes, allowing the fluid to be extracted.

Resource Wells can be scanned using the Resource Scanner. It is not possible to scan for them separately, meaning scanning for Crude Oil points to both resource nodes and Wells.

Purity
The purity of a satellite node affects how much fluid can be extracted from it. The Resource Well potential is the sum of how much fluid can be extracted from all satellite nodes in that particular Resource Well. Overclocking the Pressurizer increases this sum and therefore affects all satellite nodes equally, e.g. overclocking it to 200% will cause all Extractors to extract twice as much fluid.

Tips

 * Extracting Water from Resource Wells is usually less power-efficient than building Water Extractors to produce the same amount.
