Oil Industry From Start To Finish with TheTimeister | Tutorial | Cities: Skylines

Convert your oil into resources into other products that your city can use! From the raw material all the way to cars, oil is used throughout to help make the final product! Give your city the budget-boost it needs by producing luxury items or just sell the raw product for a pretty penny!

This tutorial uses no mods and is recorded on PC. It's applicable for XBOX and PS4 users that have the Industries DLC.

Get rich on oil and knowledge from this tutorial! What are you going to spend your new oil cash on?

Cities Skylines has like Cities Skylines needs some freedom

Pro Tip: If playing un-modded you will need to just build the Oil Industry area wherever you want and add plenty of storage tanks set to 'Fill'. You can place extractors if you want, but they are pretty much just for looks as even the largest deposits run out in about 1 year game time so no matter what you do or how you play you WILL be importing most of the oil for your industrial buildings.

Not to be a debbie downer here, but this is sort of the least realistic industry. IRL oil industry relies on pipelines rather than a crap ton of trucks that congest the streets and are a safety hazard. If someone could mod that in it would be super neat.

My oil fields dry up after playing the game for just two hours.

1:04 Just use infinity resource since the in game resource is too little.

[integragemi]

A guy created an awesome mod for this oilpipelines mod. Should be official. It can transport oil without roads by long distances really useful.

[johnterpack]

That was seriously the most superficial, uninformative tutorial I've ever seen. No mention of how to balance extraction, storage, and production. No mention of the different storage settings, when to use "balanced" vs "fill". Do the extraction buildings have an area of effect, or can you place them side by side? There are tons of basic questions that could have been answered here but weren't.

[Kristofburger]

This tutorial is better than the farming one, but there's one persistent mistake from TheTimeister. The barracks buildings unlock at level 2, so in a completely unmodded game they can't be placed before extractors or storage. Their main function is to provide a production efficiency bonus :)

[waynes]

a real pipeline system would be awesome

[destoc]

Oooo, so that how it works. I usually place tons of extraction (unlimited mod) but only one process plant each and one refinery. Then pop out the not enough buyer icon.

[kevinmertel]

Nice information about process flow. Worth noting though, in a un-modded game, plopping all of those extractors wouldn't be sustainable for very long, as you would run out of resources pretty quickly. Best be prepared for all of the import traffic that's going to happen once the base resource is depleted.

[ledgeri]

Still no option to change the behaviour of the storage/industry facilities to work ONLY internally (or to prefer that), no import, no export...
As soon as i deploy a storage for anyithing, the first trucks arriwing are from outside.
As soon as i am in surplus, it is exported.
I do not have the feeling of "i managing the industry", compared to DLCless

[SaberKittyZero]

Tutorial: These buildings exist, here let me read you their tooltops. Tutorial complete.

[ozskeeter]

thank you for a mod free 'tube ... btw, oil runs out too quickly on maps without running unlimited.

[cartooncat]

Hey I can’t figure out how to do add-ons on my PlayStation and it won’t connect
That’s why I was searching for the natural disasters edition as a disc

[AlanUK]

Tons of oil and plastic production into the environment... What could possibly go wrong?!🤪

[g]

Thank you for these tutorials! Hey I have a question, one of the intro screens talks about buses and how to make it regular buses or school buses, right? Well, in my game, there is nowhere, according to the intro screens, is there a way to make a school bus route. And, i used to be able to assign a color to each route, but I can no longer do that. Did they take that away in an update?

[listenhere]

I can't seem to keep a steady supply stream for extractors to processors. I have full storage tanks that are exporting when the extractor right next to it says it need raw materials. Same for the rest of my industry

[somedude]

why my oil industry have lack of oil on their buildings, exports crude oil, and imports crude oil?
also i have enought inventory buildings for petroleum, plastics, oil etc.
is this game broken?
