Kinda related but I feel like On-Site refining would be way more fun if the pipes built themselves overtime once they were connected, scaling with pipe connection count.
Like say if you went around a wall and used 10 connection to get to the oilwell, it would take say 50 seconds to build. But if you drilled straight through and used 7 connections, it would only take 35 seconds to build.
I find the most fun of On-Site is exploring the whole map and getting the most out of each pipe, I hate how after the building the pipes you get to spend 10 minutes holding E with maybe the occasional grunt to annoy you, it feels tedious and boring with no challenge other than the extend the mission length.
I would prefer it if the oilwells were spread further out from the Minehead and the difficulty comes from finding the most efficient path to each well.
Hard disagree, i have played hundreds of on-site refining, and building the pipes are the best part!
