where to look for oil and pearls?

[Steel]

I can’t find oil on the map and pearls, there are no pearls in the places where they were on the original island. There is no oil in the rocks in the north, where I usually collected it, and it is also not visible under water. Where can you even get them? Is this a bug or am I looking in the wrong place? How can you build key high-level buildings without them?

Frozen part of the map far North West. Oil Rocks diff texture than regular rocks. Maybe 8-10 pearls on the ground in the same area as the oil rocks

Like he said NW LAT34 LON12 f.e.

for pearls look in the shallows for trilobytes. I dunno if it matters what you kill them with, but with a sickle you usually get pearls. There are other sources but most of those are very dangerous and require some deep ocean hunting, Likewise with oil, outside of the northern area of the map, you can find a bunch on the sea floor, but some pretty nasty stuff lurks down there (not to mention needing equipment or tames to get you there).,,,,

oil can be nabbed quickly from the tan rocks on top of the icebergs floating off the coast of the ice biome. pearls can be farmed in small amounts from beaver dams found in inland river areas and some beach areas in the south (fully empty or destroy so it re-spawns).

Pearls early = trilobites and infrequent surface\cave shells.
Later underwater. Early on harvesting underwater without a mount is far to dangerous. But if you luck out with decent dolphin early on, very doable.

Pearl late = underwater with Anglerfish. They can harvest insane amounts in a single bite.

I can’t collect from trilobites at all, there’s a bug in the game, you can kill him, but you can’t collect resources from him, he’s just a sprite texture that you can’t interact with. Where they took all the pearls from the north, there were hundreds of them scattered in shallow water, now they are not illuminated and there are only a few dozen of them. The ♥♥♥♥♥ developers who broke the balance

You can, for me hitting ground justbellow the tail end of the corpse works. A bit wonky, but so far I did manage to gather every trilobite I saw.

The pearls are very hard to spot in the ocean. You can kind of only find them by the shape, which is sort of like the outline of an egg but they really blend in with the bottom of the ocean. The oil rocks can be hard to find also but they have a stream of black cloudiness coming out of them, like in the original.

This really threw me off when I was looking for stuff because it seemed like there are no resources in the ocean.

I actually thought I'd lost the plot entirely because I scanned the entire ocean floor for a good hour or so and could not, for the life of me, find pearls. I was like 'where are the glowy glowies that actually visually inform me I can grab them and get outta here'. Is there a way to return the glow or is it just gone? Similar issue with some other resources that just don't scream what they obviously are >.>

At this rate I'm just performing a mass trilobyte extinction - when they actually let you harvest them o.o

I forgot about the dams. If you tame a few Castro's they will actually build dams for you, easy harvesting.

Lol. It`s nice to see that I`m not the only one to suddenly forget basic things.

It just occurred to me that dung beetles exist. Best source of both oil, and fertilizer, and yet I just... forgot

I have noticed oil in the ocean is a bit harder to spot, so im not sure if its just less abundant or what.

[WaCkO_ZA]

We noticed last night that the ocean pearl cave on the direct south of the map is broken. you cant harvest the pearls in there at all :(

[Tachyon]

You can get small amounts of oil underwater from the small to medium corals that look a bit like dark blue broccoli. Not much I grant you, but enough to get you started. They don't always give oil mind you, but fairly often.

look on Youtube there ar Vids with the Cave Location Cords..for me its realy annoying . These Caves are extremly small and hard to find..hope they will change this back to the normal Spots
