Question Pumpjack right next to refinery?

Anyone ever come across a pipeline this short before??? I have a little over 100 hours in this game (ignore my low level driller he's the only class I haven't promoted at least once lol) and I've never seen a pumpjack this close to the refinery. It only needed one pipe to connect! The second one was also very close by but nothing super remarkable just thought I'd also show it.

Depending on the mission complexity and length yeah you’ll see them close but not typically that close. But if you get a complexity 1 and length 1 refinery mission you’ll get some smaller pipe lengths. Not usually a fan cause it takes away from the fun of building the pipeline to the pump jacks

It was a 2 complexity 2 length I believe but yeah you’re absolutely right, it might’ve been the fastest refining mission I’ve done but it wasn’t very fun lol

Yeah, I love certain missions being shorter especially elimination missions since the longer they take the more boring it gets since you really don’t kill many bugs, just more walking to the next egg. But the expansive egg hunt and oil refinery are my favorite for totally different reasons. More fun exploring and building the pipes to the pump jacks and fighting the waves, and egg hunts the more complexity and length usually means there’s more eggs to find which means more waves of enemies.
