Pumpjack to Refinery Ratio

Post by MalContentFL »

I have a small oil pumping setup and I was wondering what the maximum number of pump jacks that can be piped to a refinery for the most efficient (get the most refined fuel out without over-pumping a refinery) setup. Thanks!

It depends on how much oil per second you're getting from each pumpjack, and then there is still no set number because the oil per second goes down over time.

An unaltered refinery uses 10 oil every 5 seconds anyway, so that amount of oil is sufficient. If you have too much its best to store the oil before sending it to the refinery.
