Just murder the sea pickles and get so much oil that America will want to know your location
Did someone say oil?🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅
(Island, Mobile) I tend to get my oil from oily rocks up in the north, snowy, area on the very west side where there are icy islands in the water. The oily rocks are all over the icy islands! Hope this was helpful :)
Went to my oil pump one day, there was a sign sitting next to it that I didn’t remember placing. The sign said “USA PROPERTY KEEP OUT” so I guess I’m going back to whale oil, thanks America ☹️
Fun Fact:
Ammonite bile, bio toxin, condensed gas, gasoline (gas crafted) (5x), leech blood, Megalania toxin, oil, Tusoteuthis oil, and Titanoboa venom use the same model but different colours.

to get oil over time, tame a dung beetle and put poop in its inventory. it'll turn it into oil as well as compost, and you'll get better results depending on the size of the poop.
To make gasoline, put oil and hide into a forge
SHHH don’t tell America that you can get tons of oil from wild or tamed whales 👀🇺🇸
On the island, somewhere near X 20, and Y 90 (south west corner of map) is a very shallow area where oil rocks spawn. It gives you a lot of oil for when you need gasoline, and there’s not any scary creatures around.
There are Quite a bit of oil veins on Fjordur, also the oil fields in the volcano island has a lot of oil rocks, otherwise look in ocean or get a Tuso. Up if helpful!
Brutally murder basilos then harvest their body with a high damage weapon to get hundreds per corpse
Gachas produce so much oil I’m surprised that America hasn’t invaded extinction…
Oh wait…
America wants to know your location.
If you give poop to the dung beetle, after some times it will give you compost as well as oil.
Kill basilosaurus= infinite oil
I tamed 5 female basilosaurus and a male, have them on breeding while on-line. I claim the babies and grow them out. I harvest about 3400 oil from each grown out adult. It’s brutal, but efficient.
Love, Summerlynx❤️
For early game .. just tame Dung Beetles… at least 2 or 3 is enough… put in close area… give dino poop and some spoiled meat… make them wandering… and u will get oil.. at least 4 and also get fertilizer from poop that u give just know… save ur time and can gather oil to make jerky meat… u will get ton of fertilizer and not need to make fertilizer bin…
I got hunted down by the US because I had too much oil
make a tek dino farm and make your tek Dino’s incest then kill the babies to get oil
Dung beetles make some oil of ya give them poop.
Tame beetle+poop=oil
