High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractors

[LincTheDino]

Heyo, was wondering if the new oil extractors were any better than the og ones? Just curious to see if its worth the grind for the extra mats or not

They can be placed anywhere as long as it's on the ground. what I wanna learn is if placing them on an oil field gives a boost to their production.

They have the advantage of not needing an oil deposit to function, thus allowing you to avoid building a base for the sole purpose of extracting oil.

They require so much power, so be ready to have more than one large power tower if you have more than just the oil extractor running.

ignoring power requirements, what's the rate of extraction of high pressure vs normal oil extractors? i'm more than willing waste a few base slots on full work efficiency electric pals, but my main goal is to no longer need my oil base at all.

Rate seems to be the same, I built a base with the intent of using them but ultimately just went back to using my standard 3-node 6 extractor oil base instead since the Wing Pack was eating too much oil not to do that.

After getting the oil upgrades from the laboratory, which I assume works with the high pressure oil extractors, I found 4 of them more than enough for what I needed.

a single pal with 5 elec and +50% or higher work speed or better is enough for each high pressure extractor with a large generator.

It's the exact same speed.

Also if are at the level where you have the wing pack, you can run an extreme amount of high pressure oil extractors with orserks and an ancient generator. Even just a large generator, a puffolt, and 3 orserks(for cycling), surgery table passives and no food buffs, you can easily run 11 high pressure extractors with sufficient overhead.

It was more a matter of space, I built out into the water with only a small amount of the base actually touching the land so I only had room for 2 pumps. At the time I didn't know about the Wing Pack or its oil costs and figured by that point I was past the need for too much Plasteel.

Unless you have severely limited the amount of bases you can build to only 1 maximum, you should have the ability to build a second base, at least, by the time you get the high-pressure oil extractor. Just build a base on land to produce oil for you. And if you are worried about raids, just make sure it is enclosed, which isn't hard to do.
