Oil Generation: Difference between revisions

Calculating how much oil a drill will yield is a little complicated. The drills run on "operations" and how many ticks equal one operation varies based on the drill machine tier, and the energy hatch tier. The amount of oil pulled from each chunk per operation depends on the tier of the energy hatch above the minimum tier as well.

One important concept is that the oil drill will always drill on range size boundaries. For a 1x1 tier 1 oil drill, that isn't important. For 4x42x2 or 8x84x4 tier 2 or 3, the drill, no matter where it is placed in the 4x42x2 or 8x84x4 grid, will always pull oil from the same group of chunks. For example, looking at X for a 4x4 drill
