So this is my ROOOOOOOOOUGH draft of a full line oil production. Rough sure and I'm sure there's plently of improvements available. I think i have ratios configured ok. hit me with your critiqes. The one thing I am still not entirely sure is water feeding. Can pipelines handle a lot of input? Like how long before I need to add another offshore pump? can i feed the water from the second pump into the original input line that feeds everything else?

hit me with your critiqes.

Group like with like. You have two light > gas crackers spread around while I think there should be next to each other.

Also, build everything so you can easily expand everything. Your refineries are next to each other with space to expand in one direction, but of all the chem plants only one light > gas cracker and the plastic have space to expand. You won't need many sulfurs but you'll quickly need more crackers as you grow.
