Managing Crude Oil production becomes much easier once you unlock technology that removes the need to search for specific resource locations.
The High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor allows you to generate Crude Oil almost anywhere, giving you more freedom when designing your production bases.
However, this improved flexibility comes with a higher electricity requirement, making a strong power setup necessary before relying on it for continuous production.
How To Unlock High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor?
The High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor can be unlocked at Level 51 from the Ancient Technology section, requiring 4 Ancient Technology Points.
Unlike the regular Crude Oil Extractor, this upgraded version does not require an Oil Node and can be placed on open ground without any structures underneath it.
The following materials are required to build a High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor:
- 300 Pal Metal Ingots
- 50 Circuit Boards
- 50 Bio Batteries
- 10 Ancient Civilization Parts
How To Use High-Pressure Crude Oil Extractor?
The High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor works similarly to the regular extractor by automatically producing Crude Oil once it has been built and your base has enough electricity.
Since it can operate without an Oil Node, it gives you more freedom when choosing where to establish your production bases.
The extractor must be placed on open ground, meaning areas with structures underneath cannot be used for placement.
High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor Benefits
The biggest advantage of the High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor is that it removes the limitation of needing an Oil Node before producing Crude Oil.
This allows you to build oil production wherever it fits best, making it easier to organize specialized bases around your preferred locations.
Although the higher electricity demand requires more preparation, the extra flexibility makes it a valuable upgrade for advanced production setups.
Verdict
The High Pressure Crude Oil Extractor is a major improvement for players who want more control over where they produce Crude Oil.
While the increased electricity requirement means you need a stronger base infrastructure, being able to place it without relying on Oil Nodes makes production much easier to manage.
For players building large scale late game bases, this extractor provides the freedom needed to create a more efficient resource network.
