Crude Oil

Choose the task and finish the next step

Treat oil as a powered production line. First choose whether you need a continuing supply at a base or a limited quantity from combat and activity rewards. Then expand the intended product recipe before committing a base slot to extraction. The fixed snapshot contains six products that directly consume CrudeOil.

Plan Crude Oil demand

The following exact-name matches in the acquired default recipes show where this material is consumed. Batch counts are recipe facts; they do not establish a node respawn or gathering rate.

Crafting target	Crude Oil per batch	Batch output
Flamethrower Fuel	2	10
Frag Grenade Mk2	3	1
Menasting Terra Ring	15	1
Missile Ammo	1	10
Plasteel	2	1
Wing Cell	20	1

Run and compare the collection loop

Inspect the actual field and confirm ordinary-extractor placement before paying its construction bill; use the high-pressure machine when deliberately choosing a field-free base.
Assign electricity staff, supply their food and rest needs, then test the line with storage space and transport access. Diagnose a stopped power gauge or full output before adding machines.
Record actual output, elapsed time, generator use and worker interruptions under the same settings. Use that observation for expansion; the native layer and construction recipe contain no throughput formula.

Evidence boundary

The factual tables preserve the stated source snapshot. Source-specific recommendations and mechanics have not been independently reproduced in the current game. Exact gameplay rule gaps remain in the coverage notes rather than being filled with invented quantities.

Every Crude Oil node: map all 185 and compare ten source clusters

The native main-region oil-field layer contains 185 unique placement IDs. The acquired World Tree layer has no matching oil-field placements. Open the complete map to inspect individual fields and choose a site within your travel, base and defense constraints. A placement count is not a production rate or a timer.

The reference provides ten ranked cluster suggestions below. Their top five groups each report three nearby nodes; equal counts do not prove equal accessibility. These source groups do not partition the full 185 placements, and their clustering radius and current spawn state are not independently established.

Source rank	Approximate X, Y	Source-grouped fields
1	[400, -487]	3
2	[401, -467]	3
3	[-856, -460]	3
4	[918, 188]	3
5	[900, 193]	3
6	[-375, -672]	2
7	[-840, -393]	2
8	[-495, 107]	2
9	[-373, 125]	2
10	[639, 151]	2

Build one extractor line before copying it

The ordinary Crude Oil Extractor belongs on an oil field. The official 1.0 release separately introduced the High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor, which can operate without an oil field. Both exact facility records have automatic production and no Oil Extraction worker requirement. They are electric facilities; a recipe field energyAmount:0 does not establish zero running power consumption.

Official 1.0.3 reduced construction costs for both extractors and the Large Power Generator, increased extractor production speed, and allowed the high-pressure machine to fulfill the extractor base mission. No numeric running rate is given in that note. Use the recipe bills below for construction, then verify the actual power gauge and output over a timed interval. Add storage and transport before duplicating the line. These records do not supply native generator capacity, extractor drain, output interval or a dependable number of extractors per generator.

Facility	Recipe unlock level	Point cost	Construction materials
Crude Oil Extractor	50	2 standard	125 Pal Metal Ingot; 25 Circuit Board
High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor	51	4 Ancient	150 Pal Metal Ingot; 25 Circuit Board; 25 Bio Battery; 10 Ancient Civilization Parts
Power Generator	26	3 standard	50 Ingot; 20 Electric Organ
Large Power Generator	50	4 Ancient	150 Pal Metal Ingot; 150 Electric Organ
Ancient Power Generator	75	5 standard	100 Paloxite Ingot; 200 Electric Organ; 10 Ancient Civilization Core

Best crew for the trip: staff electricity and logistics

All 288 acquired Pals have oilExtraction 0; there is no non-zero Oil Extraction suitability to rank. Choose workers for the power generator, transport, food and maintenance around the automatic machine. The six Pals below have recorded Generating Electricity at least 5; this is a suitability shortlist rather than a measured output ranking. Recruitment difficulty and your current staff still matter.

Pal	Stable ID	Generating Electricity	Transporting
Fenglope Lux	FengyunDeeper_Electric	5	0
Azurmane	BlueThunderHorse	5	0
Solmora Lux	KingSunfish_Thunder	6	0
Dynamoff	ThunderFluffyBird	6	3
Grizzbolt	ElecPanda	5	5
Orserk	ThunderDragonMan	8	4

Compare oil-field output with conditional loot

Crude Oil has three active acquisition families out of six in its item detail: treasure/activity pools, combat and world extraction. No purchase, crafting output, direct reward or Ranch production is recorded there. The detail contains15 activity rows, three Pal drops and26 special-enemy drop rows.

The quantities and chances below describe a selected reward-pool row. A 100 chance within that row does not guarantee that every visit, chest or expedition selects the same activity, slot or grade. Oil-rig rewards were rebalanced in official 1.0; these are the separately pinned v1.0.3 tables, without a respawn-time or current-game parity claim.

Activity pool	Kind	Slot / grade	Quantity	Conditional item chance
Desert Supply supply-drop pool	supply-drop	4 / 1	20–30	100 (raw)
Expedition Dark Island expedition reward	expedition	4 / 5	15–30	100 (raw)
Expedition Sakurajima expedition reward	expedition	5 / 5	15–30	100 (raw)
Expedition Sakurajima Hard expedition reward	expedition	4 / 5	10–20	100 (raw)
Forest Supply supply-drop pool	supply-drop	4 / 1	15–25	100 (raw)

Use Pal drops when the route also advances another task

Each listed ordinary drop row has a 50% chance of one oil. These are per-drop table entries, not encounter probabilities, a guarantee of finding the Pal or a prediction of oil per minute. Plan a hunt only if its location, level and other rewards suit the current trip.

Pal	Recorded oil drop	Quantity	Recorded main-world level band
Kikit	50%	1–1	40–48
Maraith	50%	1–1	38–59
Sootseer	50%	1–1	45–67

What Crude Oil is for: all six direct consumer recipes

The complete planner scan finds six direct consumer recipes. Plasteel is a second production stage: its later uses consume the crafted material rather than appearing as additional direct oil recipes here. Budget the final product in the resource planner to include those dependencies.

Product	Recipe output	Own direct materials
Flamethrower Fuel	10	2 Crude Oil; 1 Refined Ingot
Frag Grenade Mk2	1	1 Gunpowder; 3 Pal Metal Ingot; 3 Crude Oil
Menasting Terra Ring	1	20 Refined Ingot; 15 Crude Oil; 10 Flame Organ; 5 Ancient Civilization Parts
Missile Ammo	10	3 Pal Metal Ingot; 1 Crude Oil; 1 Computer
Plasteel	1	2 Crude Oil; 5 Ore
Wing Cell	1	10 Mythical Wood; 20 Crude Oil

Oil questions answered

Which cluster is best? The source top group at400,−487 reports three nearby fields; the complete map lets you compare alternatives, but no route-time benchmark establishes a universal winner. Which Pal extracts oil fastest? No Pal has non-zero Oil Extraction in this snapshot; staff the electric generator and logistics instead. Can oil be produced away from a field? The official 1.0 high-pressure machine supports that, with its own construction and power requirements.

How fast will it run or refill? Native output intervals, electric capacity/drain, respawn timing and current v1.0.5 behavior are not established here. Use the fixed recipe bills and map placements for planning, then measure the specific base.

Linked Pal roles

The relevant Pal roles for this automatic extractor line are electricity generation and logistics. Use the six linked electricity candidates above and the full base optimizer rather than interpreting a generic mining roster as oil-extraction staff.
