Beginners Guide to OIL PROCESSING in Factorio

[coopervevo]

extremely useful, Ive had the game for a year or two and this is honestly the most friendly tutorial Ive found

[SuperSaiyoon]

Thank you for clearly explaining the logic behind oil cracking. That part always confused me, but now I feel confident enough to try it on my own without relying on recipes and blueprints by other people.

Just got the game a week ago. Most straightforward oil processing tutorial I could find. Good job👍🏾.

Really helped out a lot. I got Factorio only 3 weeks ago and I didn't notice that there's more to crude oil than just petroleum so now I have almost a million petroleum stored so far away from my base😅
Love how you're straight forward with a simple format. Keep coming back with the great tutorials❤

First time playing the game, I could not get why the oil refinery wasn't working, you have to cover all three outputs even if you're using just one, thanks for covering that!!! <3

[sinkpisserpro]

The best piece of advice I ever got for fluids was, just connect the outputs to the inputs. Changed how I’ve thought about fluids since then.

Excellent! Thanks for this. New player struggling with refineries just stopping - I skipped storing the stuff, and never cleared a pipe! Nice! Thanks.

This is the best tutorial ive seen explaining oil, really helped me out. Thank you!

Finally! Thank you! I've been looking for a beginner oil video. I wish the game had a built-in tutorial for it. I wanted to see about barrels, but it looks like you have a video for that.

You did use a lot of shortcuts that I don't know about, but I'll learn eventually.

10:11 I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or factorio just won't fix it? that you have to fill the fluids in storage tanks in order to remove all of them which will force the refineries to create the three fluids again. I was losing my mind on this, I asked help in the forums and they were not helpful. This was so simple to understand and now I can keep going to make more electric engine units, thank you!

Great tutorial, lots of good information, nice flow to your explanation. Cheers,

Petroleum is the used the heaviest in vanilla, with pumps signal wired up to heavy and light oil tanks you can convert heavy and light oil into petroleum so you never get backed up with heavy and light oil. If you're hording solid fuel you're doing it wrong.

Havent played this game but now im interested

[NOSTIADAMUS]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was very helpful. Love the way you explain things!

[piiYT]

Best tutorial about oil processing on YouTube ever👍😁

[Gregorio]

This is, by far, one of the most useful and concise tutorials. Thank you!
Edit: also, I've only had the game for a day, so the spider and robots were quite a flex lol

[theoryheenry]

This should be required viewing for every new Factorio player

Whoa there. 12:56 to 13:58. You missed a lot of stuff to show. You skipped over how to use a chemical plant. That comes before advanced oil processing. They have to learn how to make the chemical science pack first.

Great video. I have a question. When setting up the pump jacks what I normally do is connect the oil to a bunch of storage tanks then connect the storage tanks to refineries. I wonder if this is causing the slow down of stuff building in the refineries. I should do what you did and connect from pump jacks directly to refineries and see if that works better. Or connect one or two storage tanks for oil then connect that to refineries.

Great tutorial. I revisit the game every now and then, and oil is always a bitch to figure out. This is invaluable.
