Oil Well Setup
Locate a fluid Resource Well with the Resource Scanner when available. The well consists of a central node and satellite nodes; check the terrain and pipe route before building.

Before you go
- Resource Well Pressurizer and Resource Well Extractors unlocked.
- Power routed to the Pressurizer and extraction equipment.
- Pipelines and downstream fluid processing or storage with room for output.
Farming steps
- Scan for the desired Resource Well and travel to the site.
- Identify its center node and place the Resource Well Pressurizer there.
- Connect power and confirm the Pressurizer is active before building satellite Extractors.
- Place Resource Well Extractors on the surrounding satellite nodes.
- Connect the extractor outputs with pipelines toward a manifold or processing area.
- Route the fluid into appropriate machines and provide destinations for products and byproducts.
- Check the live setup for powered extractors, connected pipes, and downstream capacity before adding more consumers.
- Plan the pipeline path away from the well before placing the full extractor set.
- Keep a clear view of the Pressurizer’s power connection, since a stopped center interrupts the well setup.
Repeat, collect and use
The setup is a build-once infrastructure task for that well. Once powered and connected, extraction can continue; collect the fluid through pipelines and keep downstream processing or storage able to accept it.
Common mistakes
- Placing satellite Extractors before activating the central Pressurizer skips the required well setup; power the center first.
- Leaving extractors without connected pipelines prevents useful delivery; connect each output to a route.
- Ignoring full downstream storage can back up the fluid system; provide processing or a suitable buffer and monitor it.
When to stop or switch
Stop adding Extractors or pipe branches when the desired fluid supply reaches processing reliably. Expand only after the refinery line and output handling can consume the additional flow.
