... it's worth bringing up in relation to how much oil you'll need/consume in the long run.


We did that and that's why I'm trying to determine the behavior of Oil production.

Ok guys, I did some testing yesterday and found some very useful results that I'm going to share right now.

I was ...

Did they change oil jacks? In .16 any starting value could drop to 2. This was the behavior for the longest time, previous to 2 it was 1 in old versions.

Worth noting is oil jacks only decrease if they're being used.

"edit": Just checked the wiki: 20% of the initial yield or 2 oil per second ...

While cycles left is ... greater than 20% of the initially available cycles, each pumpjack cycle reduces the number of cycles left by one.

Your oil patch started at 110%, dropped to 22%, and now can't drop any further.


Mmn... interesting, so this means that % will never drop below 20 ...

Hello Factorio friends,

I am preparing to launch my first rocket using some calculations but Oil production is giving me some headaches.

I'm trying to predict or at least estimate my production using information on the Wiki. Every time I run a test on Oil the pumpjack doesn't decrease 1% every 300 ...
