I Ran Out Of Oil. What do I do?

[MalContentFL]

I've pumped all the oil out around my base and there aren't any patches nearby. Is there a way to generate unloaded "chunks" so they have more oil?

You can't run out of oil, there's an infinite supply in each oil field. Put speed modules in your pumps and surround them with beacons for more output. You can also put efficiency modules in your refinery and chemical plants.

I think I failed to say that I need a better supply of oil than (almost) empty wells.

The speed modules & beacon aren't helping enough.

Exceppt from exploring further, you've either speed up the pumps or life with the 0.1 i'm afraid.

Distant oilfields aren't as bad as you'd think. You can fill barrels with crude using an assembly machine, at a pretty ridiculous speed, then load those barrels onto trains to bring them back to your base, and empty them with another assembly machine. Similar to mining outposts, but with two extra steps in the pipeline (and WAY better throughput -- one stack of barrels is 250 oil).

So hop in your car and go exploring. It's out there.

Or you use Railtanker, has become one of my standarts.
Especially with RSo this thing is worth it's weight in gold -

Speed modules will get the oil out of the ground at 0.2 speed. Speed boosting beacons can increase an entire patch 50%, so 2 beacons get you +0.3 oil production.
Productivity modules will multiply by up to +20% for processing, and another +20% for the chemical plant. That's +44%, giving you 0.432 oil per patch.

Is that not enough oil? Just be prepared for the WOW crazy pollution it makes.

it depens on the ferqensy on the gen for the save
