Bulk Oil gone?

[Hell Fire]

ive looked everywhere on private and public servers cant find any oil. I guess i might just be unlucky???

[Eriskumma]

Yup, just unlucky. Bulk oil is somewhat uncommon stuff but not gone, bought it today from Whitespring vendors.

oil is around in paintcans , most gas container , lanterns , lighters and plenty othere things and some camp have oil also so your can get it for free some have close that part , but with missions/quest the game take away allot so have to look harder

No problem. :) Since you have access to private server you can always claim workshops that have oil nodes and build collectors in them.

Upper left of the map near Vault 51 is an acid and oil node. Literally just a few hundred feet apart. I have camps at each one and just swap between the 2. The oil fills the extractor every hour or so. Not bulk but plenty enough to give me steady supply of fuel reagents.

Maybe the world didn't run out of oil and governments just told you it ran out in order to choke their opponents to death slowly.

edit: If you want go deeper consider that 99% of the weapons and machines in this game are analog and thus every bearing and joint would require lubrication like the tin man from the wizard of oz. Granted 25years isn't all that long for some industrial lubricants but most of the fallout world should be rusted shut and immobile without oil.

I'm still finding it in the usual places.

I'm afraid to ask where you're drilling.

Someone else looking to get baby oil in bulk? What are you gonna do with it?

And you don't get a whole lot of it. Finding enough oil to satisfy the needs of one post-apocalyptic survivor shouldn't be hard. Finding enough oil to satisfy the needs of a nation of millions (and a planet of billions) is just a little bit harder.
