Crude Oil — cargo sources, consumers and handling
Crude Oil is listed as raw material cargo with Liquid handling specialization in the official TF3 free-game manual. Its documented producers are Oil Platform, Oil Well; its consumers are Oil Refinery.
Quick facts
Trace the supply chain
The cargo table identifies Oil Platform, Oil Well as the production side of Crude Oil. Its listed destinations are Oil Refinery. Follow those specific relationships when deciding which pickup, transfer and final-delivery stops the line needs. An industry consumer and a town district are different delivery targets; inspect the actual demand in the destination window.
Choose compatible handling
Use the vehicle store cargo filter for Crude Oil, then inspect compatibility and specialization before buying. The documented handling category is Liquid. Check the selected terminal and any warehouse module as well as the vehicle; travel speed alone does not measure loading or transfer time.
Check a stalled delivery
If Crude Oil accumulates at the producer, inspect the pickup line and stop filter. If it reaches a warehouse but not Oil Refinery, inspect the onward line, storage module and destination demand. Compare actual loaded and unloaded cargo instead of assuming that a potential connection has already delivered anything.
Field limits and conflicts
The listed relationships are documentation evidence, not a measured annual throughput or tested save. No exact deadline, sale price or vehicle loading capacity for Crude Oil is inferred. Release-build version: Unknown.
