Oil Extractor

The Oil Extractor is a building used to extract fluid Crude Oil from its resource node. The default extraction rate is 120, based on normal node purity (see below).

Extraction
extraction rate, with respect to Clock Speed and Oil node purity:

To calculate the Oil Extractor extraction speed:  Node purity modifier : Because Mk.1 Pipelines can only support 300 of fluid flow, it is not recommended to overclock an Oil Extractor on a pure node beyond 125%. Extractors on pure nodes at 125% can still benefit from consuming less power compared to a normal node at 250%.
 * Impure = 0.5x,
 * Normal = 1x,
 * Pure = 2x.

Overclocking
The Oil Extractor can be overclocked up to 250%, at the cost of greatly increased power consumption.

Head lift
An Oil Extractor has a recommended head lift of 10 meters, measured from the center of its pipe outlet.

Construction
Oil Extractors can be built on top of an Oil node regardless if the node is fully covered by Foundations. When build on Foundations, its pipe outlet center is positioned exactly 1 meter above the floor.

History

 * Patch 0.3:
 * Replaced the Oil Pump.
 * Build cost changed from 5 Heavy Modular Frame, 10 Motor, and 30 Cable to 15 Motor, 20 Encased Industrial Beam and 60 Cable
 * Removed conveyor output, now outputs Crude Oil as a fluid into a connected Pipeline
 * Patch 0.1.5: changed crafting cost from 2 Heavy Modular Frame, 3 Motor, and 10 Cable to 5 Heavy Modular Frame, 10 Motor, and 30 Cable
