Selection rules
- Choose Oil Rig Pals around survival and repeatability before raw damage.
- Use a fast mount or safe travel option for approach and recovery.
- Prepare ammunition, healing, repair materials, and storage before treating rare rewards as farmable.
Setup steps
Confirm the Oil Rig reward or material you are targeting before the run.
Pick a travel Pal, a combat Pal, and a support plan instead of relying on one favorite Pal.
Stock Gunpowder, Sulfur-linked ammo, healing, and backup gear before leaving base.
Bank rare rewards after each successful run before attempting a riskier repeat.
Review whether the failure point was combat, route approach, supplies, or inventory management.
Oil Rig decision notes
6 candidatesStart with the candidate that matches the base's actual job, then compare Jetragon, Frostallion, Orserk, Grizzbolt against pathing and availability. A specialist is valuable when the station is busy; a flexible Pal is valuable when the base has several small jobs competing for the same worker slots.
If oil rig still feels slow after assigning workers, check the input chain first: Ancient Civilization Core, Gunpowder, Sulfur.Worker selection fixes suitability, but it cannot fix missing inputs, distant storage, blocked paths, or a base that is trying to run too many unrelated chains at once.
Practical tips
- Oil Rig planning is a route system: combat, travel, supplies, and extraction all matter.
- Jetragon-style speed helps if the route itself is wasting time.
- Orserk and electric planning connect Oil Rig prep back to late-game base systems.
- Rare drops such as Ancient Civilization Cores should be banked before another risky loop.
Avoid this
- Do not treat Oil Rig as ordinary material farming.
- Do not start a run without enough ammo and recovery supplies.
- Do not risk rare rewards by chaining attempts before banking them.
