How to Get Crude Oil in Palworld Sakurajima Update
Hey there, Palworld adventurers! If you're diving into the late game and looking to swim in that sweet, sweet Crude Oil, you’ve come to the right place. This guide is all about finding and extracting Crude Oil, a vital resource for crafting the best gear and progressing in Palworld. Let’s get into it!

Finding Crude Oil Fields
First off, Crude Oil is primarily located on Sakurajima Island, which is situated northwest of the main islands. Look for black patches on the map—these are your oil fields. You’ll find them scattered around the north, east, and central parts of Sakurajima. These spots are perfect for setting up a small base and your harvesting equipment.

Harvesting Crude Oil
To start your oil empire, you’ll need an Oil Extractor. You will be able to unlock it after reaching the level 50. Build a base near the oil to extract this resource for your armor and weapon.
Once placed in an oil field, the extractor will slowly draw Crude Oil from the ground, but it needs power to run. That’s where the Large Generator comes in. Place one near the extractor, and make sure you have two electric Pals with an electricity rating of three or higher to keep it running smoothly.

Getting Crude Oil from Pals
You can also get small amounts of Crude Oil by taking down Kikits and Sootseer on Sakurajima Island. Kikits can be found on the sandy northern and southern banks, while Sootseer lurks around the cemetery at night. Each of these Pals drops one to three Crude Oil, making them a slower but still viable source.

Sieging the Oil Rig
If you’re up for a challenge, head to the oil rig stronghold in the southeast ocean. This place is heavily fortified with anti-air missiles and a ton of Syndicate thugs. But if you manage to conquer it, you’ll walk away with around 200 Crude Oil. It’s tough, but the rewards are worth it.

Looting Supply Drops
Another way to get Crude Oil is by looting supply drops. These drops can contain 30-50 Crude Oil, but they’re rare and appear only a few times a day in real life. So while it’s a good supplemental method, it’s not something you can rely on consistently.
Why You Need Crude Oil
Crude Oil is essential for crafting end-game items. You need it for the best armor and weapons, including the powerful flamethrower. More importantly, Crude Oil is a key ingredient for crafting Plasteel, a critical material for high-end gear.

Getting Crude Oil in Palworld might take some effort, but it's crucial for anyone looking to dominate the endgame. Whether you’re tapping oil fields, battling it out at the oil rig, or collecting from defeated Pals, there are multiple ways to stock up on this valuable resource. So gear up, get your Pals ready, and start extracting that black gold!
