Oil extraction limit

[KaszkaManna]

Did you know there is oil extraction limit of 120/s without speed modules and double that (240/s) with two 3rd ones.
No matter the yield.

That is the limit on the pipe, if you use mods with pies that have higher capacity, its higher.

You can always add more pipes.
Limits mean nothing when you can just add more.

You can't though. Pumpjacks have only one output.

Would using a pump and several lines of pipes that branch off from the main output fix that?

You would end up with a bottleneck at the pumpjack output.
Adding more pumpjacks would get around the limit but you would need a dedicated pipeline for each pump.

Got me thinking. What's the throughput on a storage tank? If it's high enough, you could place the tank directly at the pumpjack output, and connect three pumps on the other three exits to triple the limit.

Hard-limit max output of an oil well = 100 per cycle. Each cycle takes 1sec (base), before any speed modifiers.

Can fit max of 12 beacons around a single oil well plus 2 inside = +700% speed boost (x8).

Gives 800/sec maximum possible output.

Up to 245 pipes can be used before a repeater pump is needed, according to the table in this post.[forums.factorio.com]
