Tips & Strategies
Ways to get oil early-game:
1. If you spawn on or travel to a snowy biome (if you are ballsy enough) this is an assumption, but there should be rocks that have oil
2. *basilosaurus noises* for some reason i never see anyone get basilos in their ARK playthroughs but they are just americas way to get infinite oil (they produce it passively when tamed) to tame one, just go to the basilosaurus tips tab, its that easy.
3. Oil chunks, usuaally found around E V E R Y W H E R E in the sea and they look like little black chunks with a DNA trail of oil slowly bubbling up, so grab an Itchy, a good damage pick, and start diggin
