Argelle Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Crude Oil question: Why should I use an oil well (consuming water) and not simply a liquid pump? Resistance ? (I can use gold amalgam) Well is "pumping" underneath itself? Speed? pump max 10 kg/s were well is only 3.3 kg/s I don't get it.

llunak Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 They do different things. Oil well "creates" new oil (and natural gas) from an oil reservoir in exchange for water. Pump only pumps oil that is already there. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89553-pump-versus-well/#findComment-1024024 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argelle Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 OK thanks ! I did not think of the reservoir like this, I just assume they were like "oil geyser"...

Like in real life, you use water to increase pressure and make the oil coming up Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89553-pump-versus-well/#findComment-1024039 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsawn Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Yeah this confused me as well, they need to make it clearer in game for the Oil well that it uses a geyser type object and not regular oil pools. I wasted ages trying different oil well setups over oil pools not realising it was for something else entirely Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89553-pump-versus-well/#findComment-1024064 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigsawn Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Problem is that you don't know what an oil reservoir is unless you already found one. I just assumed that it was a reservoir (I.e. lake) of oil. However this was before the encyclopedia was added, which I'd forgotten about. Now if they have a hyperlink to the Reservoir you can access from the Oil Well description, that solves the problem. Looking at your screenshot it doesn't look like they've updated that yet. But once they do it should be fine. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89553-pump-versus-well/#findComment-1024075 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argelle Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Lucky dupes as it's clean water vanishing and not a toxic mix highly polluting ground water as IRL. Or shall I make a suggestion to the dev "extract oil and contaminate water forever" ?
