if you have space this can easily be spread out a fair bit as in pic 2

Oil flow
Re: Oil flow
Ha, that's exactly what I meant, when I suggested straight upper ground pipes... Because otherwise you built a "block" where nothing can go thru.

Re: Oil flow
Or lay pipes generally half in ground so that they are walkable like conveyour belts, and you alway see your character and the pipes as well. underground belt would be uses to cross these "normal" pipes just like underground belts do. High pipes would need supporting pillars where you would still be stuck with your charakter or car.

If you abuse pipe-to-ground more you can make it even more compact:
Re: Oil flow
i like this, my biggest gripe with the oil industry is how big it gets, i used to have all my resources built on a conveyor, but with oil its either awkwardly pump it to the right spot or bring all the resources to it.....Garm wrote:If you abuse pipe-to-ground more you can make it even more compact:
i dislike both for various reasons
Re: Oil flow
Here is the finished form of said refinery - i believe it is impossible to make it more compact.

Re: Oil flow
this is what i had been using before, but i decided i liked how mine was kinda boxed in by having the water pump outside.Garm wrote:Here is the finished form of said refinery - i believe it is impossible to make it more compact.
