Oil Pump with its own Control Panel and Junction Box
The majestic Oil Pump is a device that pumps oil from the ground and distributes it automatically to all Mineral Extractors that are turned on. Before players can craft the Oil Pump, they must first find the associated Technology Blueprint.
While the Oil Pump is running, the player does not need to put fuel in the Mineral Extractors manually . The fuel receptacles of the Mineral Extractors are not displayed in the user interface of those devices as long as they are being fed fuel by the Oil Pump. The Oil Pump does not fuel Clay Soil Extractors, which must still be fueled manually by the player.
The Oil Pump must be placed on the ground and it requires 150 units of Power to run. It continues to run and consume power even if all Mineral Extractors are full of resources and need to be emptied.
Like other power-consuming devices, the Oil Pump must be wired either directly or indirectly (by means of Electrical Relays) from a Junction Box which in turn must be wired from a Control Panel in order to use available Power. The Oil Pump can be powered on or off by turning its Junction Box on or off in any Control Panel.
The size of the Oil Pump is 2.5 foundations long and 5/8 wide.
The recipe for the Oil Pump is found in the Placeables section of the Build Menu under Others.
