Just murder the sea pickles and get so much oil that America will want to know your location
(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 :)
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.
Basilosaures gives up to 1500 oil with better Rates
To make gasoline, put oil and hide into a forge
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!
America wants to know your location.
Tek creatures can drop oil, electronics, AND metal. Tame a breeding pair of Tek parasaurs and kill their babies
Gachas produce so much oil I’m surprised that America hasn’t invaded extinction…
Oh wait…
if you can’t find a critter that drops oil, i found quite a lot of oil rocks in the northern region (mobile, island map), around the shore. be weary of wolves and argies. rexes too, but typically they’re preoccupied with mammoths or rhinos. hope this helped!
If you give poop to the dung beetle, after some times it will give you compost as well as oil.
Kill basilosaurus= infinite oil
make a tek dino farm and make your tek Dino’s incest then kill the babies to get oil
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…
Use baslios they make oil ok OK TRUST ME
Tame a basilsaurus just leave it and it will produce oil
Dung beetles make some oil of ya give them poop.
Tame beetle+poop=oil
Everyone needs oil for late-mid-game, so make yourself some fur armor and go to the snowy areas, there is usually alot of oil rocks on the beaches. Use a metal pickaxe to harvest oil.
You can find oil nodes in the water or you can find a lot in an cold biome, if you have a cryopoded anky and an argentavis you can get a massive amount, just make sure you have some medical brews, otter, fur armor or something else that keeps you warm. I almost died because I only had a fur chest piece, scuba leggings and chitin hat, gloves, and boots and forgot to have medical brews on me.
I think basliosaur actually drop oil naturally if you take it, not sure tough.
