Oil Extractor

Oil Extractor
Normal extraction rate: 120m³ oil per minute. Head Lift: 10 meters. (Allows fluids to be transported 10 meters upwards.) Can be built on an Oil Node to extract Crude Oil. Extraction rates depend on node purity.

The Oil Extractor is a building used to extract fluid Crude Oil from its Resource Node. The default extraction rate is 120 m³/min, based on normal node purity (see below).

Construction

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

Extraction

 Crude Oil extraction rate (m³/min), with respect to Clock Speed and Oil node purity:

Items produced per minute

	Oil Extractor
Impure	60
Normal	120
Pure	240

	Oil Extractor
Impure	150
Normal	300
Pure	600

To calculate the Oil Extractor extraction speed:
120 x (node purity modifier) x (Clock Speed in decimal) = Extraction rate
Node purity modifier:

• Impure = 0.5x,
• Normal = 1x,
• Pure = 2x.

An Oil Extractor on a pure node can only benefit from clockspeeds beyond 125% with Mk.2 Pipelines due to the 300 m³/min flowrate limit of Mk.1 Pipelines.

Head lift

Main article: Head lift

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

Overclocking

Main article: Clock speed

The Oil Extractor can be overclocked using Power Shards. Overclocking increases the input/output speed of the Oil Extractor at the cost of exponentially increased power demand.

Clock speed	25%	50%	75%	100%	150%	200%	250%
Consumption (MW)	6.4	16	27.35	40	68.37	100	134.31

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
