g Question: What's the pumping speed?

3 years ago

Vanilla Pumpjacks list an expected Oil/s value based on the "Yield" of an oil field. Since Fracking dispenses with Yield altogether, they now just list a total amount of oil per well, but don't give me any idea of how fast they pump. What's their value? Is Shale Oil slower to pump?

I ask, because vanilla Oil Fields are already infinite.

Oil is produced at roughly 10/s per pumpjack. Shale has the potential to produce faster early on because of how infinite resource yield works, but it drops down to 2/s like vanilla oil.

I see. Thank you kindly for the information. I think I misunderstood the intent of this mod altogether. For whatever reason, I got it in my head that this would allow Pumpjacks to produce more oil faster, when its goal appears to be a redesign of the oil pumping process, instead. Thanks for the quick answer and the precise numbers - much appreciated.
