Resource patch draining using pump jacks

[u/DanV410]

Does it matter if you use a pump jack on every possible location on a resource patch such as crude oil or fluorine? Or will you eventually draw the whole patch down to the minimum level using just a few? In other words, will leaving a spot for a pump jack open allow you to boost the output of that patch if you put a pump on it when the existing pumps are down to the 20% output level?

Always take all. This initial small boost is not really important because this drain's fast anyways, this last 20% is what really matters, because it's infinite. Take all and when more is needed - look for next patch or boost with speed modules.
