Please be aware that the actual derrick towers are only used for the initial drilling process to obtain a nice bore into the terrain. Once a well is drilled, pump jacks are the common method to extract oil. Rather than change the model, we should change the name, if anything..

Yes, I think a smaller factor for each upgrade might be more reasonable, but strengthened derricks definitely need to be added. I wonder if anybody wants to try modelling upgraded derricks...? Maybe a small hardcrete foundation and one pressure tank for the first upgrade and an expanded hardcrete foundation and two pressure tanks for the second upgrade. If anyone comes up with anything I would assume here is the best place to post.

I think the best place to see if anyone would be interested to make new models/upgrades would be the Artwork section.

Unfortunately, this is not StarCraft, or StarCraft II. We do not have a proffesional team of developers whose careers depend on the success/failure of the game, and who are working on this in their spare time. Be grateful for what the can do. Also, this is a completely different friggin game from SC, or any other game with multiple resources. Namely, it is macro-based, not micro-based. If you want to talk about SC, then send me a PM.

Especially the Void between the ears of people who think that No VTOL is a good idea, and won't lead to arty wars. I've won one, and I have to say: I hated it.
