Crude Oil is a new resource added in Palworld’s big Sakurajima update that is used to craft stronger materials than Pal Metal Ingots and upgrade your power to the next level. As with most resources, you’ll need to figure out where to find it. So if you just want to get straight into the action, here’s what to do.
Where to find crude oil FAST in Palworld!
There are two ways to get Crude Oil in Palworld, but you have to be at a high enough level. The first is to extract it. At level 50, you can unlock the Crude Oil Extractor for four Technology Points. Once you unlock it, you can craft one with 250 Pal Metal Ingot and 50 Circuit Boards.
To place a Crude Oil Extractor, you’ll need to find Oil, which are dark blobs on the ground. You can find them in abundance in the Frozen biome or the new Sakura Blossom island. You’ll want to set up a base next to the Oil for easy access. The source requires a power source to work, so you’ll also need a Power Generator next to it to make it work.
Alternatively, some of the new Pals will drop small chunks of crude oil. You can also find crude oil by going to the Oil Refinery Raid, found at 572, -425 on the map. It's a high-level raid with lots of enemies and anti-aircraft, so don't go alone.
