During the time that an Oil Extractor is operating, the Crude Oil Seep's production rate gradually decreases over time, according to its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-life half-life], until it reaches a minimum production rate of 0.1/s.<ref>See [[Patch Notes/0.7.18.6914|Patch 0.7.18.6914]]</ref> | |||

* When producing energy, processing Crude Oil in an [[Oil Refinery]] via plasma refining produces more energetic products that account for the extra energy used in the process. So refining Crude Oil for energy generation purposes is better than burning Crude Oil. | * When producing energy, processing Crude Oil in an [[Oil Refinery]] via plasma refining produces more energetic products that account for the extra energy used in the process.
