     I've run it a ton of times, and only rarely did one particle get changed, how much did you see change?

    I'm just wondering, can we use pressure IN the contraption, the rules say you can't use pressure in transporting it, but not in the contraption.

    Another one that uses NITR. However, since I like to make saves more complicated than necessary, I'm firing NITR at high speed into the oil well, using the strange displacement behaviour of fast particles to move oil out of the well. A gap is needed between bursts of NITR, to let the air pressure and velocity from the fast particles dissipate, otherwise the oil well tends to explode. Unfortunately, this does make the machine quite slow.

    No pipe, no walls, no wifi and no portals are used. Instead of pipe, the oil is transported to the tank using some STOR, which is slow but can just about cope with the slow extraction rate.

    After extraction is deemed to have finished, the NITR left in the oil well is ignited using some photons.

    I haven't really bothered with decoration or making it look realistic :P

    Your machine can't touch the tube, please fix that.

    115 points. The only problem is slowness, but you know.

    Updated:

    Removed wifi, switched to nitr. (You added the slowness rule after I made my sim D:).

    No wall, no wifi, works pretty fast, is stable, reusable, as compact as I could make it, makes nice explosions, 100% oil!

    I fix it
