Oil is an important resource in Satisfactory as a key ingredient in producing various essential goods. It’s also an integral material in powering factories, especially those using Fuel Generators as power sources. So, ensure that you don’t run out of this precious resource by reading this Satisfactory oil farming guide covering the best locations to find it, the tools you'll need, and the things you can create.
How to Gather Oil in Satisfactory 1.0
Remember, you can’t mine this resource manually. Instead, you must extract Crude Oil by using an Oil Extractor at a Crude Oil resource node. Craft the Satisfactory Oil Extractor with the Build Gun utilizing 15x Motor, 20x Encased Industrial Beam, and 60x Cable. Note that the amount of Crude Oil farmed from a resource node generally depends on the purity of the material from that gathering spot. In particular, you can get more Crude Oil by farming it from a Pure Crude Oil resource node. On the other hand, the Oil Extractor mines fewer Crude Oil units if the resource node is less than Pure. Here’s a quick rundown of the amount of Crude Oil extracted from a Crude Oil resource node depending on the location’s purity:- Impure Node: 60 m3 per min at 100% or 150 m3 per min at 250%
- Normal Node: 120 m3 per min at 100% or 300 m3 per min at 250%
- Pure Node: 240 m3 per min at 100% or 600 m3 per min at 250%
- Impure Node: 30 m3 per min at 100% or 75 m3 per min at 250%
- Normal Node: 60 m3 per min at 100% or 150 m3 per min at 250%
- Pure Node: 120 m3 per min at 100% or 300 m3 per min at 250%
Best Oil Locations in Satisfactory 1.0
Various Crude Oil resource nodes and Resource Wells exist around the map. However, some Crude Oil gathering spots can help Pioneers yield more of the resource than others. These valuable Crude Oil resource-gathering locations include the following:- Four Crude Oil nodes exist in the Beach Islands at the westernmost region of the map
- At the Blue Crater to the southeast
- Multiple Crude Oil nodes exist at the Spire Coast to the north
- At the border between Titan Forest, Bamboo Fields, and Northern Forest
Uses for Oil in Satisfactory 1.0
Crude Oil can be refined into other materials in Satisfactory 1.0, particularly Plastic, Rubber, and Fuel. However, refining Crude Oil will produce Heavy Oil Residue and Polymer Resin as byproducts. Alternatively, Pioneers can use Crude Oil as an ingredient for specific crafting recipes. The items you can craft with Crude Oil as a recipe ingredient are the following:Fuel
