How To Set Up Oil/Gas Farm and a Water System Once Human Guide

Once Human: Oil and Water System Guide

The video demonstrates how to build expandable oil-processing and farm-irrigation systems using power connections, pipes, tanks, and gravity. No storyline is discussed.

Oil Setup

• Place extraction pumps as high as possible to encourage water or oil to flow downhill and reduce the need for extra pumps.
  • Moving the base may reset pump height, so check and reposition the pumps afterward.
  • Foundations placed too close to resource spots can destroy them.
• Build a platform for water tanks and refineries, using different structure heights to fit the equipment.
• Set each extraction pump’s output to oil before connecting power. Pumps may default to dirty water. If they start collecting it, switch them quickly or drain the unwanted output.
• Connect the pumps to power, then pipe their output into a storage tank before sending it to the refineries. The tank provides a buffer, helps avoid bottlenecks, and leaves room to expand.
• Arrange pipes so fluid flows downhill. The game’s pipe connections depend on relative height, not on how plumbing would work in real life. Check the flow indicators and adjust tank or pipe heights if the flow runs the wrong way.
• Pipe crude oil from storage to the refineries. The example uses one refinery for premium fuel and two for portable blended fuel, with blended fuel routed to the premium-fuel refinery for barrel production.
• Add more pumps, refineries, or tanks as needed. To link tanks, connect the top of one tank to the bottom of another so excess can flow into it.
• Power can be wired in series for a neater layout, but a broken connection can interrupt everything downstream. Leave space between pumps to make them easier to access.

Farm Water System

• Start with a ground-level extraction pump and connect it to power.
• Mount a water pump high on a wall. Power it before connecting the pipes to avoid flow problems.
• Connect the extraction pump to the water pump’s inlet, then connect the outlet to a storage tank.
  • The pump can lift water when gravity alone is insufficient.
  • Use its separate inlet and outlet where possible; connecting both pipes on one side may cause issues.
• Route water from the first tank through a filter, then into a second tank for purified water.
• Connect the second tank to sprinklers. Tanks act as buffers, prevent the filter or sprinklers from becoming bottlenecks, and store water for cooking or other uses.
• Maintain a slight downhill slope between components. The presenter notes that the system can supply a large farm over time, though it may take a while to build up its reserves.
