==Technologies==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. Plastics are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|300px|Oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|300px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|300px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotive]]s if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both [[Heavy Oil]] and [[Light Oil]] can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of [[Light Oil]], but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

===Commonly Used Items===

==Mechanics & Usage==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|300px|Oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|300px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|300px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotives]] if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy Oil]], [[Light Oil]] and [[Petroleum Gas]]. Both [[Heavy Oil]] and [[Light Oil]] can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of [[Light Oil]], but are lacking in [[Petroleum Gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.

[[Oil processing]] is a large part of Factorio. It was introduced in v0.9. [[Oil processing]] may refer to the researched technology, the recipe used in the [[Oil refinery]], or the overall workings of oil.

This documentation isn't complete yet. '''Please refer to the following pages:
* [[Version0.9]]
* [[Liquid network/0.9]]
* [[Liquid_network]]

==Technologies==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. Plastics are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.

==Technologies==
[[Oil processing]] allows the player to set up a basic facility to mine, process, and use oil. To be able to increase the usefulness of the created oil products, you may want to research [[Sulfur processing]], as a prerequisite for the research of the [[Battery]], which is used in many items later on, including the [[Science pack 3]]. Plastics are also useful, as the [[Plastic bar]] is an ingredient in the [[Advanced circuit]], which is used often later on. [[Fluid handling]] allows you better control over your liquids, with items such as the [[Storage Tank]] and [[Small Pump]]. [[Advanced oil processing]] gives you a new recipe for use in the [[Oil refinery]], allowing you to get more useful products from your [[Crude oil]]. Finally, researching [[Flammables]] gives you access to the [[Flamethrower]].

==Recipes==
There are various recipes that can be done regarding [[Oil processing]]. They are listed below.

==Mechanics & Usage==
To mine, process and use oil, you'll need to do some research, as shown above.

===Overview===
[[File:Example-Oil-Refining.png|thumb|300px|Oil being drilled and refined.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Cracking.png|thumb|300px|Oil being cracked into lower forms.]] [[File:Example-Oil-Usage.png|thumb|300px|Oil being used to create plastic and batteries.]]
[[Pumpjack|Pumpjacks]] need to be placed on top of the middle of the oil well. Given [[Electric network|electricity]] (90kW, upgradeable), they will produce a certain amount of [[Crude oil]] per second, shown on the right, at the bottom of the information panel. Over time this value will decrease. Once it reaches 0.1 oil/s, it will continue to output this, never increasing or decreasing. This means that having enough pumpjacks on depleted oil wells will provide you with enough oil, but it is better to find new oil wells. To transport the oil, you can use [[Barrels]], and [[Diesel locomotives]] if you'd like.

The [[Crude oil]] then needs to be refined in an [[Oil refinery]]. The [[Oil refinery]] also needs [[Electric network|electricity]]. It has a much higher demand, at 420kW, but it is also upgradeable. The oil refinery needs to have a recipe set (see above for available recipes). Once it is set, the inputs and outputs show what needs to be, and what will be supplied. You cannot move the locations of these, only rotate the entire machine. Make sure that the products have somewhere to go (preferably [[Storage Tank|Storage Tanks]]), as the refinery will stop production of all products if one product output is full.

Now you have the three basic products. [[Heavy oil]], [[Light oil]] and [[Petroleum gas]]. Both [[Heavy oil]] and [[Light oil]] can be cracked to the next lower type in a [[Chemical plant]] (recipe above). This is useful if you've got lots of [[Light oil]], but are lacking in [[Petroleum gas]] (A common problem).

From here, after some research, you can use the oil products to create various products. They are all listed above.
