Game Structure

Extractors have been separated from the Refinery as its own element in Reboot, as Refineries are no longer capable of acquiring resources on their own. Instead, it fills up Logistical Vehicles at a rate of 50 units every second. The aforementioned unit will return to the Refinery once it is either full or if the Oil Field has been depleted. Only after that will the Oil be converted to Credits.

In Skirmish matches, each player has an Extractor already built on their starting Oil Field.

Upgrades

Green Zone Extractors gain 50% more hitpoints. Costs 1000. Requires DEFCON 1. Researched at Logistical Center.

Stealth Module The Refinery gains stealth, and also conceals the nearby Extractor. Costs 1000. Researched at Refinery. Requires Stealth Lab. Purchased individually.

Repair Drones Extractors slowly regenerate hit points. Costs 4000. Requires Black Ops.

Trivia

• The Extractor and its functionality are clear throwbacks to Act of War, where each faction also has to build their own Oil Derricks on deposits and transport the resource with tankers to gain funds.
• While all factions have unique models for their Extractors are functionally identical and share the same icon, which actually depicts the oil drill right above the well.
  • Chimera is the only faction whose Extractor recycles a Refinery asset.
