Oil

[tumbitiger1]

Just wondering if you can get oil from a specific species of whale. Or only produced if you have a try works?

It may be a good idea to add some oil to the loot drops for sperm whales, as their spermacetti didn't need to be processed like blubber. Of course spermacetti was different and more expensive than regular oil but reflecting that would require a new resource type.

Only try works as mentioned above.

Oil is actually the boilled down blubber.

Though, in real life the Sperm whale's head contained Spermiciti which was a rather pure and naturally liquid at room temperature oil.

Trivia: i've heard it said that whale oil is actually a liquid wax. Which makes sense as the wax for candles comes from animal fat.
