AI Summary

This guide explains how to locate and harvest crude oil in Palworld, a critical resource for mid-game progression. Players must reach level 50, build oil extractors on oil deposits, and set up a dedicated base with power generators and electric Pals.

[00:02]
Oil Location

Crude oil appears as black cracks with liquid spilling out in various biomes like deserts and snowy mountains. You must build a base on top of these deposits.

[00:45]
Requirements

Reach level 50 and unlock the oil extractor from the technology skill tree. You need a base with a Palbox, beds, farming plot, and food container.

[01:10]
Ideal Location

Oasis Isle in the far east has at least three oil deposits close together with no hostile Pals.

[01:38]
Extractor Setup

Oil extractors require refined ingots and other mid-game resources. They need power from generators; electric Pals are recommended over hamster wheels.

[02:16]
Storage and Transport

Add a storage box and deploy Pals with transporting skill to move oil. A guild chest allows access from other bases.

Setting up an oil extractor base with proper power and transport will provide a steady flow of crude oil for advanced crafting and progression.
