Tips & Strategies

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 :)

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.

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.

SHHH don’t tell America that you can get tons of oil from wild or tamed whales 👀🇺🇸

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!

I got hunted down by the US because I had too much oil

Gachas produce so much oil I’m surprised that America hasn’t invaded extinction…

Oh wait…

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❤️

On some maps I tend to use oil rocks, they look like normal rocks with a black on the tops they can be small or extremely large. I’m going to hide from America now, there’s some black vans outside of my house.

If you give poop to the dung beetle, after some times it will give you compost as well as oil.
