Tips & Strategies

Guys, there are three types of oil. The first one is oil collected from rocks and a few creatures that does not spoil. The second one is basilosaurus oil, when you open your basilo’s inventory, you’ll see purple oil. It acts the same as normal oil except it spoils. The third oil is tuso oil. Kill and you get it.

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 :)
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.
SHHH don’t tell America that you can get tons of oil from wild or tamed whales 👀🇺🇸
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
tame a sarco
put some lvls into melee
find a basilio
kill it
they drop tons of oil and you can usually kill it fast with the sarco
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!
