Fuel is made in a Refinery from Crude Oil. The default recipe consumes 6 m³ Crude Oil and produces 4 m³ Fuel plus 3 Polymer Resin in a six-second cycle. At 100% clock, it uses 60 m³ Oil per minute and yields 40 m³ Fuel and 30 Polymer Resin items per minute. Fuel can be used directly for power or packaged for vehicle and Jetpack use. The Resin coproduct needs an outlet or storage plan so it does not block production. The standard-layout map shows 30 Crude Oil resource nodes and 18 well satellites with 3 well cores in extracted 1.2.3.1 game data; these counts describe the map data, not a claim that every location is equally accessible. The map shows the standard layout, a limitation to bear in mind when comparing locations.

How to craft
Use the on-page map filtered to Crude Oil to locate a node and inspect its purity and access. Install the appropriate oil extractor, then pipe Crude Oil to a Refinery set to the Fuel recipe. The map shows the standard layout.
Before you craft
Fuel recipe, Refinery, and the appropriate oil-extraction building.
Crude Oil supply, plus separate handling for Fuel and Polymer Resin.
Filter the on-page map for Crude Oil and inspect a node's purity and accessibility.
Place the appropriate oil extractor on the selected node and connect its output.
Pipe Crude Oil to a Refinery and select the Fuel recipe.
Handle both outputs: 4 m³ Fuel and 3 Polymer Resin per recipe batch.
Route Fuel to power generation or package it for vehicle or Jetpack use.
Crafting tips
At 100% clock, budget 60 m³ Crude Oil and an outlet for 30 Polymer Resin items per minute to make 40 m³ Fuel per minute.
The standard-layout map shows 30 Crude Oil nodes and 18 well satellites with 3 well cores in extracted 1.2.3.1 game data.
Repeat, collect and use
Keep the oil supply and both Refinery output paths clear while Fuel production is needed.
Common mistakes
Searching for Fuel at a resource node instead of refining Crude Oil.
Blocking the Polymer Resin output and stalling the Refinery.
Treating standard-layout map locations as a guarantee for a different map layout.
When to stop or switch
Stop when Fuel demand is met or the oil supply or Resin handling can no longer support production.
