Oil Extractor

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

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

120 x [node purity modifier] x [overclock percent] = Extraction rate

 Node purity modifier  :


 * Impure = 0.5x,
 * Normal = 1.0x,
 * Pure = 2.0x.


 * *Due to pipelines only being able to support 300 of fluid transfer, it is not recommended to overclock an Oil Extractor on a Pure node beyond 125%. Extractors on Pure nodes can still benefit from consuming less power compared to a Normal node at 250%.

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

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
