BlackSoul Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Valid point, needs to be addressed. We play on 708 (pve), i flied to each vein location specified at wiki, one tribe took 80%, the other took 20%, nobody else can put pumps. We found 7 oil pumps in beacons but there's no way to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multivitamin Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I noticed this was going to be an issue early on when I saw the the nodes were limited so I went and place two and left them unlocked. Glad I did because 2 other tribes seem to have capped off the rest of them. On PvE you really shouldn't be able to lock them. Both of mine had over 161 stacks of oil in them last time I checked them and I was begging people to come get oil. Maybe they should have the oil nodes randomize and "erupt" elsewhere occasionally meaning that your current ones dry up and start to decay. This would keep people from locking them down for ever.

BlackSoul Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Forcing pumps to be unlocked will also require protection from building near pumps, because people will build houses to close pumps. Making veins to expire and respawn somewhere else is one of possible solutions. In any case the issue needs to be addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torja Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 On the SE server i play on one tribe literally has every vein tapped and "allows" people to use one unlocked pump. Maybe a tribe limit on pumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a tribe limit on pumps? That's pretty lame. we can't even use all the oil of one pump as a 2 man tribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KungFuKenny373 Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 That's lame, oil pumps should be open access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
