Crude Oil is a semi-rare mid-game resource found in the world. It is refined in Refineries into Plastic, Rubber and Fuel, whilst producing the Heavy Oil Residue and Polymer Resin byproducts. It is the only fluid resource obtained from resource nodes, and is extracted using Oil Extractors instead of Miners. It can be transported via Pipelines, be packaged for conveyor transportation or be transported via trains.

Obtaining[edit | edit source]
Resource acquisition[edit | edit source]
Crude Oil can be extracted from Crude Oil resource nodes using Oil Extractors. It cannot be mined manually. The default extraction rates are as follows:
Node purity | m³/min at 100% | m³/min at 250% |
---|---|---|
Impure | 60 | 150 |
Normal | 120 | 300 |
Pure | 240 | 600 |
This leads to the following total availability on the map:
Node purity | Number of nodes | Mk.1 mining rate | Mk.1 mining rate at 250 % |
---|---|---|---|
Impure | 10 | 600 | 1500 |
Normal | 12 | 1440 | 3600 |
Pure | 8 | 1920 | 4800 |
Total | 30 | 3960 | 9900 |
Pure nodes cannot be extracted fully while overclocked above 125% due to the throughput limit of Mk.1 Pipelines. Mk.2 Pipelines remove this limitation.

Tips[edit | edit source]
The following Alternate Recipes can be used to notably increase efficiency of petrochemical productions:
Combined with Packaged Water, Unpackage Fuel, Residual Plastic or Residual Rubber, a closed-loop production of Plastic without any waste can be formed, potentially increasing the Crude Oil to Plastic conversion ratio to 300%. The same applies to Rubber. Empty Canisters are reused and recycled in the loop.

History[edit | edit source]
- Patch 0.3:
- Now a fluid
- Can no longer be brought by Lizard Doggos
- Can no longer be obtained by cutting down specific plants with the Chainsaw
- Crude Oil blobs occasionally found in foliage now result in No item in foliage
- Unknown patch before Patch 0.1: No longer possible to be mined by hand
- Patch Closed Alpha 4: Mesh updated
