 * x15 Frame Boxes
 The tier of Energy Hatch and type of Machine Casing/Frame Box depends on the tier of Fluid Drilling Rig. Make sure to read the tooltip to determine the specific requirements and shape. It's advisable to disable any void options in the Machine Controller and remember to cover the Rig in [[dimension]]s where it rains. A [[Long Distance Fluid Pipeline]] can be used to cheaply transport fluids over distances greater than four chunks.
-== Types of Fluids ==
-There are many different fluids which can be extracted. The specific fluid depends on the dimension and chunk. [[Oil_Generation|Oil and Natural Gas]] are the only ones present in the overworld and very likely the first to be extracted via a Drilling Rig.
 == Prospecting for Fluids ==
+There are many different fluids which can be extracted, not just oil. The specific fluid depends on the dimension and chunk. [[Oil_Generation|Oil and Natural Gas]] are the only ones present in the Overworld and very likely the first to be extracted via a Drilling Rig.
-Like [[Ore Generation]], fluids are placed during [[World Generation]] on a predefined grid and unknown to the player until prospected for, using the [[Seismic Prospector]] or hand-held [[Prospector's Scanner]]s on bedrock. The each oil field is a group of 8x8 chunks with no offset and the same fluid - if using portable scanners that need access to bedrock, dig down at the corner of four fields for best efficiency.  Any chunk 200L+ is considered good; theoretical maximum is ~750 and most chunks will have 50 or less.

 == Usage ==
-The only thing that determines the area from which an oil rig pumps is which chunk it's placed in, relative to the oil field.  The exact position of the drill in the chunk never matters. There is no way to let one drill extract form multiple oil fields or non-aligned chunks at the same time.  Press F9 twice to see chunk borders.
