Crude oil

Popiel: Adding in barrel transport

{{Languages}}
{{Liquid
|producers =pumpjack + crude-oil-barrel
|consumers =petroleum gas + light oil + heavy oil + crude-oil-barrel
}}
'''Crude Oil''' is a [[liquid]] extracted by [[Pumpjack]]s from [[Oil field]]s and is converted to [[Petroleum Gas]], [[Light Oil]], and [[Heavy Oil]] by an [[Oil refinery]]. It can be transported either in [[pipe]]s or in [[barrel]]s.

== Oil field ==

Each oil field has a yield displayed as x%. Each percent is equal to 75 pumpjack cycles. An oil field with 80% has between 6000 and 6074 cycles left, as yield does not display decimal places.

While cycles left is greater than 750 (10%), each pumpjack cycle reduces the number of cycles left by one.

So unless an oil field with less than 10% is created by map editor, yield will never drop below 750 cycles.

The amount of oil a pumpjack extracts per cycle is 1.0 multiplied by yield or [number of uses left] / 7500, but not greater than 10.0.

Circuit network

2016-04-13T18:05:56Z

Popiel: /* See also */

{{Languages}}
[[Circuit network]]s (CCNet) enables the control of devices based on the amount of [[Items]] and Fluids stored in all [[Chests]] and [[Storage tank|Storage tanks]] connected to the same network via red or green wires.

:[[File:InnerOfGreenCable.jpg|400px]]
A more technical explanation is, that the circuit network is a standardized bus-system. '''See [[Automatic control/Smart bus|this explanation]].

Even if the circuit network looks quite different to the [[Logistic network]], the [[Automatic control/Smart bus|bus]] is principally the same beccause the information is the same. '''The basic difference between them is that, in a logistic network, everything which is covered by a roboport pops up as content, but in the circuit network only the connected chests and storage tanks were considered.

== Basic ==

[[File:circuit-network-example-1.png|thumb|256px|A basic circuit network usable to fill a chest with a defined amount of items. '''Watch exactly, how the red wires are connected!''' To connect a wire with the pole take a wire and drag it from the base of a pole to the target entity!]]

The circuit network is often use to control the amount of certain items or fluids in the factory. Before the storage tank, lamp, small and offshore pump were included to the circuit network, the basic usage was to connect a smart inserter with a chest next to it to control the amount of items in the chest.

== Advanced ==

[[File:circuit-network.jpg|256px|thumb|The picture shows a circuit network that contains over 42,000 coal and 12,000 iron plates.]]

The [[Automatic control/Smart bus|smart bus]] page explains the function of the bus.

There are several links into the forum (''outdated''):

* [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3149 Forum article about the basic usage]
* [http://www.factorioforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=696&p=24183#p24183 About comparison of the circuit wires with examples from the real world]

=== Receivers ===
[[File:smart_inserter.png|thumb|250px|Example condition: "Work only if the count of [[Iron plate]]s is lower than the amount of [[Steel plate]]s." Instead of the steel plate you can use a constant value.]]
[[Smart inserter]]s, [[Lamp]]s, [[Small pump]]s and [[Offshore pump]]s are currently the only devices connectable to the circuit network. If a circuit condition is set, they only work if this condition is true.
When it is connected to the network, it is possible to set up the condition in three parts:
* Item or fluid. To check the condition, the amount of the given item or fluid in the connected circuit network is taken.
* Type of the condition: less than, bigger than, equal
* Item or fluid. To check the condition, the amount of the given item or fluid in the connected circuit network is taken.
Both values will be compared by using the given type of the condition.

=== Multiple networks ===
It is possible to establish multiple distinct networks of the same color. Just make sure that there is no wire connection between them and they will be treated as separate networks.
