FIELD SEQUENCE

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Read the field

    Check current technology and construction menus for an explicit refinery entry.

  2. 02

    Stabilize the bottleneck

    If available, record the interface's exact stated inputs and outputs for your build.

  3. 03

    Record the result

    Keep observed production separate from interpretation or older announcement wording.

  4. 04

    Choose the next move

    Until verified, plan the proven crude-to-silo-to-tanker loop instead.

WATCH LIST

Common mistakes

  • Treating an older demo observation as a permanent rule for oil refinery.
  • Copying an exact cost, rate or coefficient without checking the active build and source date.
  • Optimizing an oil refinery system appeared in official long-term development goals while a different field bottleneck is stopping the full loop.
Patch-sensitive note

Refinery details remain Not verified yet beyond the developer's long-term goal description.
