The Oil Well is a world structure that produces Crude Oil when fueled by either Diesel or Petrol. As long as it is fueled, it dispenses Crude Oil into its inventory at a constant pace. Fueling it with Petrol produces Crude Oil at a faster rate. The mine can be fueled by hand or by a Fuel Tanker.

Mining function

All mines function the same except in some key variables. They all take a unit of Fuel to create 1 process which creates a set Number of resources based on the Fuel Type. They do not work faster on Petrol but simply create more resources in the same time resulting in saved time.

A can of fuel holds 100 "units" of fuel which the mines uses piece-meal like a vehicle all mines only need 1 unit to run once which means that you actually run the mine 100 times for a single Can of fuel.

1 Crude Oil Barrel takes 960 seconds (16 Minutes) which consumes 1 unit of Diesel if the mines is running on petrol it creates 2 Crude Oil every 960 seconds for 1 unit of Petrol.
This means that 1 can of diesel produces 100 Crude Oil and 1 can of Petrol produces 200 in the same time. It consumes an entire can of a fuel type in 96,000 seconds or 1.600 minutes or 27 Hours.

At low efficency it creates 1 Crude oil barrel every 960 seconds.
At high efficency a stacked 2 Crude oil barrel will be made every 960 seconds instead.

Tips

  • Due to the incredibly Slow rate of the Oil well its best to upgrade it quickly and to not overfill it with Petrol as one can can last for 27 Hours which can be longer then you might be able to keep the mine in your possesion. Thus should always be protected well if possible.
  • This is why it is also recommended to not overfuel them as all Fuel internally can be destroyed if these are attacked and killed by enemies, or the fact that the World Conquest might not last as long as the entire internal fuel buffer.
  • Another way to observe this is to watch the map as it displays this information to you.
