Crude Oil is one of the most important pieces of progression in the mod, allowing for numerous advances in progression with the making of many fluids/items, therefore being somewhat considered the most important fluid in the mod.

Crude Oil is a flammable, viscous and polluting liquid. Providing 25.0 kTU per bucket.

Production

Crude Oil is mainly extracted from oil deposits, blocks located deep underground that each hold 250mB Crude Oil per block. These deposits can be searched with a oil reservoir detector, when used, a message will pop up in the top left part of the screen showing if a oil deposit has been found nearby, pinging in orange when close to one, and green when a deposit is found right below the player.

To extract oil from a deposit, either a oil derrick or a pumpjack must be used and have power connected to the machines for them to work, with the pumpjack being 3x more efficient than the derrick, but only being able to be produced further in the mod. Extracting oil also extracts natural gas, which can be burned for power, or less commonly, stored in tanks & barrels.

There are 2 ways to p´roduce crude oil unconventionally, those being:
