The Oil Drill is one of the more important items that you will be able to get your hands on in 99 Nights in the Forest. This will help make survival significantly easier, allowing you to make oil barrels daily without having to manually go out to gather fuel.
So, if you are looking to make the most of the Oil Drill in this Roblox game, then the guide below will help you out.
How does the Oil Drill work in 99 Nights in the Forest
As mentioned, the Oil Drill is one of the more important tools in 99 Nights in the Forest, which will help you automate oil collection as you look to survive multiple nights on the randomly generated map.
All you will need to do is place the Oil Drill Near your camp, and it will start to automatically produce oil barrels every day. Now that you have a steady supply of this resource, you will be able to make sure that your camp is always well lit at night, preparing you for any encounters with wild animals or cultists.
Now that you do not have to manually keep going out to collect oil, you can focus your time on making defenses around the house, searching for the Anvil, or just making the most of the Alien Invasion that occurs on the third day
How to obtain the Oil Drill in 99 Nights in the Forest
To be able to get and use the Oil Drill, the first thing you will need to do is to upgrade your Crafting Table so that it has a minimum level of Tier 4. Only then will you be able to access the Oil Drill blueprint and then proceed to make the device.
Once you have unlocked the Blueprint, you will need the following resources to be able to make the drill:
- 1x Cultist Gem: One of the rarer resources, which is obtained as a drop by defeating Cultist enemies.
- 25x Wood: You can easily get this by chopping down the trees in the forest.
- 35x Scraps: Scraps are obtained from the metal sheets, which you will find lying about all over the map.
Once you have the materials, open your Tier 4 Crafting table, select the Oil Drill, and then make it. When done, place it in an open area near your camp, and then see it automatically make Oil barrels for you every day.
An Oil Drill will always make sure that you have fuel in your camp, which will let you stay well lit at night, improving your nighttime safety. Making it is also quite easy; however, the challenging part of the resource gathering can be with obtaining the Cultist Gem.
The Cultist Gem is a pretty rare drop, and to get it, you will need to defeat Cultist enemies, which is not at all easy to achieve. You will need proper weapons before taking them on, so make sure you have a decent armament and enough food to make getting the gem significantly easier.
