Crude oil extractor

[Kamenik]

I have large power generator 2x orsek and this oil extractor need more power than can produce this 2 orsek OMG very stupid and when work generated oil is very very slow its total useless

I agree, I don't know what the best way to farm this item is, since it is necessary to use a lot of oil to make plastic.

You don't use crude oil to make plastic, That's high quality pal oil, different things.

You need orserks that have work speed traits, and/or condense them into a 4 star Orserk.

I simply bred myself an azurmane with a nocturnal trait. Fixed the problem for me. I have like 5 of them in case that 2 or 3 get exhausted xD

*but yeah, oil production is slow. Thats why I have now 2 bases regarding that... Also because they fixed the double oil extractor on one node thingy.

[Sulphuric_Glue]

Yeah it sucks. As far as I know the most oil deposits in any one spot is 2, so you can only have 2 oil rigs in a base and if you want more you need a whole other base. And two orserks on a large power generator can only barely generate a power surplus and it immediately goes away when one has to eat or rest, so you really need 3+. Without the expensive and time consuming research it takes eons to produce, and with the research it only takes years.

At least let us crank up the production speed in the world settings pocketpair. Making oil so time consuming to produce and then expecting us to use hundreds of it crafting items is insulting.

[Aw Heck]

breed artisans onto your orserks and 2 orserks can power your two extractors and more

[The Great White Shiekh]

i have 1 orserk (traits are remarkable craftsmanship, vampiric, artisan, work slave) to power my base with 2 oil extractors and every other production building. Get better traits and condense, not to mention enhancing work speed with pal souls as well.

Don't forget about your pal research!

You can have it so you have more power saved up, more power generated, more crude oil made and less power consumption

You can also have batteries made so that power is saved up during the day time and during night time they can use the batteries once your out of power, tho it takes more than 1

I personally have 2 crude oil extractors at my base, 2 large gens, 2 Orserks and six batteries and I don't have any issues with power even when I'm using other stuff. I did at first tho! I ran out of power almost right away, but after a bunch of pal power research it got a lot better

I'm working on replacing my own Orseks with Helzypher Lux. Yes, you lose a point of work sutability, but gain overnight operation to keep the things running and hopefully build a buffer while furnaces and kitchens are off.

Remember Pal Souls can buff Work Speed on top of traits. The new giant souls from predators can be broken down at the crusher and translate into a LOT of small ones. And definitely work on the Pal Research, it takes a while to farm up that many Electric Organs but it makes a huge difference.

Or just give them the "nocturnal" or "Vampiric" trait...

Or I could keep lucky with the other workspeed buffs and have Nocturnal naturally. Not to mention I don't have pals with such traits to breed with because my world's older than those traits are. No dice on fresh catches either, my luck sucks.

Use the helzephyr lux for electrical charging, they work at night. Also work on research, they have traits to speed up production, reduce electricity used and how much they produce.

Polymer and plastic are different. Polymer is HQPal oil, plastic (Plasteel) is Crude Oil. Its called Plastic on the games back end.

[Murtor]

Don't sleep on the Pal Research Laboratory as well. Reducing power consumption and increasing work speed is noticeable.

Please. It's not rocket science. Use punctuation.
