Oil Extractor

The Oil Extractor is a building used to extract fluid Crude Oil from its resource node. The default extraction rate is 120 m³ per minute, which is affected by node purity (see below).

Extraction
Here is the extraction time depending on the ratio of overclocking.

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 m³ per minute 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 Pump 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
