MTEX Drill Rig v1.4.9

MTEX Drill Rig v1.4.9

M-Tex Oil — Land Drilling Rig
Bring Midland Basin oilfield operations to Farming Simulator 25 with a working land drilling rig. Place the used M-Tex Oil rig, deliver pipe, cement, water and diesel, and drill a 9,500 ft well. When the job is finished, the rig is removed and an M-Tex Well Pad (pump jack and tank battery) takes its place.
How drilling works
The shop item is “M-Tex Drilling Rig (drill a well)”, under Production > Factories (or M-Tex Oil > Production if you use the M-Tex store category). It is a production point named “Drill well”.
Once all four inputs are on site and the production is switched on, the rig drills for 36 game hours (1.5 game days) and reaches 9,500 ft. Progress is counted from the game clock, so leaving the site, sleeping, or skipping time all count. Mid-drill progress is saved and is multiplayer-safe (the server decides). You can pause the job by switching the production off in the Productions menu; switch it back on to keep drilling.
While it is drilling, the top drive and drill string work visually: the string turns at 110 rpm for 120 seconds, then pauses 30 seconds for a connection, and the top drive travels one 24.66 m stand. The original drill-pipe connection sound plays. The Productions menu shows the inputs, fill levels, depth, percent complete and time left. The placeable info box lists any missing material.
A rig day rate of $7,291.67 is charged for each game hour the production is active (about $25,000 per real day, or about $262,500 for the well). Daily upkeep of $21,000 is charged as site overhead.

Inputs
All four must be on site before drilling starts, and they are used up over the 36 game hours:
Drill pipe (PIPE): 24,000 L, equal to 10 drill-pipe pallets (2,400 L each).
Cement (CONCRETE): 9,600 L, equal to 12 bag pallets (800 L each) or the same amount in bulk.
Water: 62,500 L of make-up water for the mud system.
Diesel: 4,000 L for the rig engines and generators.
Water is the fill type used by the mud system. There is no separate mud input.

Delivery
The delivery bay is on the south-east of the pad. Trucks enter from the open south edge, unload, and can turn around on the gravel.
Pallets of pipe, cement bags, or water or diesel tank pallets can be dropped anywhere in the bay. They auto-unload, including strapped pallets. If a pallet is still on forks when it first enters the bay, the rig retries every second once it is set down.
Tankers and tippers discharge water, diesel, or bulk cement at the unload marker on the gravel slab. The trigger has a standard AI unload node.
There is no AutoDrive-specific setup in this mod. There are no scripted hired workers; the crew on the rig is part of the model.

Well pad
The production output is well depth drilled (MTEX_WELL_DEPTH), 9,500 ft. It is not sellable and does not spawn a pallet.
When the well is complete, the server places the M-Tex Well Pad (FS25_MTex_WellPad) at the rig — offset so the wellhead sits on the rig’s well centre — and deletes the rig. The well pad is not re-levelled: it sits on the gravel pad the rig already levelled, or on TerraFarm ground if you shaped the site that way. The well pad is included in the rig’s shop price. If the Well Pad mod is not loaded, the rig stays until that mod is active, and the swap is retried every 10 seconds.
Selling the rig back refunds the normal sell value only for the part of the well not yet drilled. Once the well is done, the sell value is $0.

Doghouse
The doghouse has a toolpusher / company-man office (desk, chairs, files, whiteboard, radio, AC, and PPE) and an indoor area. The door opening is 0.94 × 2.02 m with a flush threshold, and it can be opened and closed.
A live well-monitor screen in the office is emissive and works at night. It shows drill percent, depth in feet, time left, a progress bar, and a status word: READY, DRILLING, PIPE, CEMENT, WATER, DIESEL, PAUSED, or DONE (well complete). 3D monitor text also shows “M-TEX RIG 1”, depth, percent, hours left, and a status line. Both follow the synced drill state.

Features
Used M-Tex Oil land rig: 45 m derrick, substructure, doghouse, weathered paint, and site equipment, including an iron roughneck, tongs, air tuggers, choke manifold, mud gas separator, BOP accumulator, two mud tanks with shale shakers and a desander, two mud pumps, three generator sets, a diesel tank, pipe racks with casing and 4-1/2 in drill pipe, warning signs, and the M-TEX RIG 1 lease sign.
The pad is levelled and painted as gravel when placed, with dirt and drilling mud under the substructure.
Night lighting on the derrick, substructure, light poles, monkey board, and doghouse, from 18:00 to 07:00.
The older decoration-only rig is no longer sold in the shop; rigs already placed in a savegame still load.
Multiplayer supported.
Price: $8,240,000 | Daily upkeep: $21,000 | Multiplayer supported

Requirements
FS25 PetroleumProducts, which defines PIPE and CONCRETE (including the drill-pipe and cement-bag pallets).
FS25 MTex WellPad, which is placed when the well is finished.
