Oil runs out too fast

[Cathartic Flatulence]

I was pretty disappointed to find this out. I was wondering why my batteries slowed to a crawl and found a pump operating at .3.

So apparently you can add modules to them? But it just sounds like I'll wind up with hundreds of pumps across the map barely dripping out oil.

Once the liquid wagon comes, it should lessen the need for 0.1 pumpjack running at 600% speed.

There is a mod, and it exists for many years, yet developers post-pone the official wagon-tank.

Well as long as it works and looks pretty no one really cares.

Hello I'm from,

know about the mod, and I dont realy mod my early access games, in my mind the mods work as a outlet for things/ideas that can improve the base game. And thats all i want ^^,

If you aren't interested in constantly having to search out for more oil wells, you can simply increase their richness in world generation. They'll eventually run down to 0.1, but it will take a lot longer and each new batch of oil wells added to your oil network will provide more oil.

You can't set richness after a world is formed

Not for me
I normally need like 10 pumps max

Mine are having a problem with outputing sulfur/explo/plastic/solid fuel 24/7

Obviously different people need different amounts. you can "beat" a map with a relatively small factory, but if you want a monsterbase processing 1000s of cuircits a minute, you`ll run through your oil way faster

Its just like in real life...my 5,5L V8 AMG runs out of gas too quick too :P

You need to examine your whole line and figure out where the boittle neck is. Start with whatever fluid is in stock in your refinery. This is the tricky thing about fluids, any stop in the line will back up all fluids because a single line has no capacity.
Buffering is also critical with fluids.

You do know you can use oil barrels to ship oil around once you have researched fluid handling?

Make empty barrels, fill them up from your oiljacks using an assembly machine 2.
Then ship those barrels by train/robots/belts to your processing facilities.
Feed the barrels into another assembling machine 2 to drain them into your network and send the empty barrels back to your oilfields.

No need for a liquid wagon or mods :)

I use combinators set to every tank so if oil drops to X or there is more than Y in the chests it switches the productions. My tanks are never full, always around 500, if it drops too low everything stop or when the production output is too high.

Helps a bit but it still holds my productions and importing oil from distant places is annoying and slow.

No. Non-renewable resources are a fact of life. If you can't see the social commentary inherent in this game, then you have no business commenting on how abundant resources should be.

Love that comment :)

True but combinators are a pretty big hurdle to someone who is just trying to make basic fluid production and just starting the game. You have to go Pro for this.
