The Ultimate Crude Oil Farming Base Build Setup Guide - How To Get Crude Oil ANYWHERE - Palworld
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
This video provides a comprehensive guide on how to establish an efficient crude oil farming base in Palworld by utilizing the new Crude Oil Extractor item unlocked at level 51. The core concept presented is that these extractors can be placed absolutely anywhere on the map, not just on flat dirt terrain, allowing players to convert existing underwater bases or skyscrapers into massive production hubs. To achieve this versatility, players must meet specific requirements including reaching a character level of approximately 70-71 and acquiring two key furniture sets: the Ironwood Table Set for creating planting spots and the Japanese Style Furniture Set which provides necessary cushions. Additionally, having pals capable of generating sufficient electricity is crucial to power the numerous extractors required for high-volume oil generation.
The tutorial details a precise placement strategy that allows players to maximize density by positioning each extractor one and a half foundation units away from its neighbors in every direction. This specific spacing ensures that when planting Skill Fruit orchids, which are used as temporary placeholders before the actual extractors can be installed, the crops do not overlap or trigger error messages regarding proximity to boss arenas. The process involves carefully rotating items until they turn blue and jump slightly into place, a mechanic that offers enough wiggle room for players to align them relatively straight even on complex structures like water bases where foundations are irregular. Players are advised to build a dedicated floor above these plantations with glass flooring and stairs to facilitate easy access by pals while the Skill Fruit trees sprout and blossom before being removed once the permanent extractors are in place.
Once all extractors are installed, players can choose whether to store the oil directly within that specific base using storage boxes or transport it immediately back to their main guild chest via a single designated extractor left open for collection. The creator demonstrates filling an entire floor with these units, noting that while perfect alignment is not strictly necessary as items can be dismantled and rebuilt if needed, taking care during placement ensures the setup looks neat and functions correctly. After installation, the temporary Skill Fruit trees are destroyed to reclaim materials and free up space underneath for additional storage or other utilities. The video concludes by emphasizing that this method allows players to create a dedicated oil farming operation anywhere in the game world without needing extensive terraforming, making it an essential strategy for late-game resource management once better electric pals become available at version 1.0.

So, guys, I am back with yet another
Power World video. And today, guys, I'm
going to showcase you how you can
basically create the very best crude oil
farming spot or base absolutely
anywhere on the map. Let's go. How's it
going, guys? My name is DP Jen. If you
do enjoy the video, leave me a like. It
really helps out. And if you like what
you see and want to see more, be sure to
subscribe. So, as you can see, guys,
I've got I don't even know 25 crude oil
extractors here under the roof of my
storage base. My storage base is also or
my entire base is also underwater.
So, you can do this absolutely
anywhere. Now, with the introduction of
the crude oil extractors, which you
unlock at level 51,
um these are these things right here.
You can build these on any ground. So,
if it's dirt, you can put this on them
and get that crude oil. But with today's
trick, I'll teach you how you can put
these down absolutely anywhere. Meaning,
if you have a pre-existing base that you
want to make the most out of, you can
use it as a crude oil base. It's really,
really simple. Now, the requirements for
this are indeed need to be at least a
level I believe it's 70
one maybe. At least because you need
these these skill fruit or kids. These
are what allow us to put down
these uh crude oil extractors absolutely
anywhere. So, if you're at level 71 yet,
you cannot do this. But yes, you need to
unlock this right here.
Also, guys, you need the Japanese set,
which is
uh
this right here. Japanese style
furniture set because we get a cushion
that we need from this. Obviously, you
need the crude oil extractor. You also,
guys, need um this right here, which you
unlock at level 31,
the ironwood table set. And I believe
that is more or less it. As long as you
got plenty of skill fruits to because
you need to plant uh those crude oil cuz
you will get all these back so don't
worry about that. Uh so you're not
wasting these. You'll get all your
materials back in that regard. But yeah.
Other than that, but again, these crude
oil extractors, you can actually put
these down
on any flat land. So if you've actually
got a base that's on dirt, you could do
this today without doing all the
trickery to do this anywhere. And I have
some great spots as well, guys, you do
want to take advantage of um we could
put maximum of these down. If you come
to this point right here, um so our
coordinates are around this point of a
minus 255 to 49.
This whole area here
is massively flat. All up here is
massively flat. Same as here, guys, it's
massively flat. And I do believe a part
here as well is also flat. And again,
guys, all this here
is also flat. So these are great spots
you can put maximum number of these
crude oil extractors down just on the
dirt itself. You won't have to use the
tricks I'll show you today in where you
can put these absolutely
anywhere. So yes, you're going to need a
few materials for that for this, but I'm
guessing this far into the game, you
know exactly what you're doing and you
need. So yeah, I'm just going to go to
my other base, which is down here. It's
completely empty now. I've emptied this
out, but it's perfect for me to showcase
to you guys
in how you actually do and set this up
and get it flawless. Cuz you want these
things sitting straight as well. The
normal trick is
uh an angle of these crude oil
extractors, but today I'll show you how
to do this perfectly straight. So this
base is kind of set up. I've got my
my medicine cabinet, my guild chest, my
food box for my pals, couple of pal
pads,
uh a generator, two generators electric
to work these, and the pals required to
indeed
genera- generate electric, cool that
thing down, but you don't need that, I
don't believe. I think you can use the
old electric generators. As long as
you've got pals that are good enough to
actually keep that electricity tab up,
you You good. Um
but yeah, you want to a couple of
transporting powers as well, guys,
because they're going to be transporting
that oil. Now, if you want your oil
transported to your storage,
um, your guild storage, just leave one
of these down. If you want to actually
accumulate oil in said base that you're
basically creating it, let's put down
storage boxes. That's completely up to
you. Okay, so we're going to start,
guys.
And how we do this is
is quite straightforward once you get
the actual rhythm of how you put these
down and get them set up nice and
straight. So,
we want to come to
this right here.
This is a very very important an
ironwood side table. So, we're just
going to click on this.
And then, guys, what you want to do is
obviously on foundations, I'm doing this
on a water base. If you're doing this on
a skyscraper, on a land base, on a
second floor, third floor, make sure you
got a couple of ceiling or walls worth
of space above and you're good to do
this. But yeah, you want to come to the
your foundations. Now, depending on
where you actually want to do this for
yourself, you can put 10 of these down.
You can put 20 of these crude oil
extractors down. You can put 50 of these
down. You can have a whole base and a
floor completely covered in these.
But you want to come to said point. Now,
this is going to be where the first one
is actually put down. I'm going to do
this on the edge of my base. So, the
edge is well, the furthest foundation
top corner to the edge of my base, as
you can see. And this will still count
as one. So, that's one. Now, the closest
you can actually put another one next to
it, guys, is
one and a half foundations away.
So, you want to walk this way.
So, there's one foundation and a half.
So, put that down. You want to make sure
these are straight as you can possibly
get them. And bam. Then, guys, you'll do
the exact same thing. So, one and a half
foundations away.
Bam. So, these three here, guys, that's
basically three crude oil extractors.
This is how it's going to work.
So, yeah, we're just going to do another
one. So, one and a half away. So,
another one there.
Bam.
And we're just going to put another one
over there.
Bam.
One and a half away. And these actual
new
futuristic uh well, actually the ancient
set in regards to I don't I'm not sure
I'll get away one here. I don't think I
will. So, I'm not even going to bother
with that because the actual space is
required. It's got We've got to remember
you've got to put a crop plot down
initially. Um and although this will
basically be where
the crude oil extractor will sit
literally right where this little wooden
bench is or that iron side table iron
wood side table. I'm not sure it's still
being inside of that base because we're
right on the border, so I ain't going to
worry about that. But, yeah.
But, either or.
So, we've got a setup like that so far.
So, that is a setup of one, two, three,
four, five, six crude oil extractors.
So, now guys, what we're going to do is
we're going to build more.
So, what we're going to do is we're
going to come down from this one.
And again, you need to be one and a half
away. So, there's one foundation away.
And a half a foundation away.
Simple as
that. Now, you want to try and get these
as perfectly straight as possible. Can
be a little tricky, but yeah. So, I'm
just going to put that one there. And
again, there's half the foundation. And
there's one.
So,
boom. And you can see exactly what we're
doing here, guys. So, again, there's one
foundation.
And there's a half. So, we actually I'm
going to have this base it's going to be
as many of these as I can actually fit
in.
Literally as many of these I can fit in.
So, I'm going to do the exact same here.
So, I'm just going to line this up. Make
sure I'm in sync with it. I'm going to
go
one foundation.
And then half. I'm going to make sure
because again, because this new ancient
set
in regards to the foundations, it's
actually quite easy to
dictate where the center is going to be.
So, yeah.
So, I'm just double-check that just to
definitely make sure.
Um so, yeah, you can see that your gap
between
where I'm at. So, yeah. So, that is one
and that is the half right there.
So, that's good. I'm just going to go
There's the half and then there's one.
Just going to move that up slightly.
So, boom.
Then we go There's the uh one
foundation.
I'm actually cuz I got stick drift on my
controller.
It's making it a bit I mean, this as
well
doesn't have to be absolutely perfect in
regards to your placement of these. It's
just if you want them all lining up
perfectly, you will have to be
particularly um
strict in regards to where you're
putting these down. So, there is another
uh one and a half and then guys, we've
got there's one and there's another
half.
Boom. There's the half and there's the
one.
Boom.
And again, we ain't going to fit it
there. We probably could.
Um
in fact, you know what? I'll take the
risk. I'll try it anyway.
And there's the There's the half. So,
about there. We'll try. If it don't
work, I'll break it down. And again
guys, you know what? I'm going to try it
there as well. It probably ain't going
to work here, but we'll try it.
So, boom. So, as you can see guys, we
are
basically one and a half foundations
away in every direction to these little
tables.
And what we're going to do is I'm going
to actually fill as much space in this
base
using the same principles. One and a
half foundations and that
away. And what I do here guys, is I'll
speed up the video. So, you don't have
to actually watch this, but if you're
doing the same thing as me, you kind of
you should get the gist by now of
exactly what you need to be doing. So,
I'm just making sure again, one and a
half away.
So, there's
one and a half and there we
[clears throat] go. So, yeah, I'll speed
up the video guys and get as many of
these done as I possibly can.
Okay, so I've put down as many as
actually one in here, but the good thing
about this as well guys, which I didn't
mention I didn't mention to build it on
a certain floor in your base, but if you
you can actually dedicate a floor in
your base.
If your base is like say like this one
right here and it's like
it's a big base. You can just make a
floor dedicated to it. So, just build
up. Make sure it's like three or four
three or four sorry walls high at least.
I dedicate an entire floor to indeed
doing this. There's nothing stopping you
doing that, guys. Okay, so as you can
see, we have a lot of these down right
now.
Now, guys, what you need to do is put
down that Japanese cushion
on it, which is this thing right here.
So, this cushion needs to be literally,
guys, center.
And then you try and get it as as
straight as possible. So, it's equal on
all sides.
And you know we want you want to put
this
on everyone.
Just like so, making sure it's straight.
Everyone you put down you want to put
this on. So, whether you've done five of
these you want to put you want you want
five oil extractors or you've
got 50. I don't even know how many I've
got.
That's going to be a lot of oil
generated here, that's for sure. You
want to put these on every single one.
Again, it doesn't have to
doesn't have to be absolutely perfect.
Uh but it needs to be as perfect as
possible. So, yeah, again
I'll speed this up, guys, because it's
going to take me another I don't know 5
10 minutes to do this. So, yeah. Okay,
so I've put cushions down on all of
these now.
Now, we get to the part where we
actually have to use the skill fruit
basically crop plot the orchid or
whatever it's called. So, we want to go
back to the first one we put down. This
is where this can get a little bit
tricky. So, you want to come guys and
you want to make sure you saw the arrows
facing you
and you're at this angle.
Then, guys, you want to rotate it to the
left just like so. It makes it easier.
So, it's like that. Then, guys, you want
actually come this way on.
And what you want now, guys, is say it
jumps up. Say it jumps up like that. You
want to make sure it jumps up
Um and obviously it's blue and then
bring it this way. Make sure you get it
as centered as possible. This doesn't
have to be absolute, by the way.
Um there's a couple of angles you can
place this down, you can place it at
that angle, that angle, but you want it
the one in between, so about there,
that's fine. Just put that down. Boom.
Then guys, do the same again with the
next one.
But just make sure they are not touching
each other.
And you'll sometimes you'll get two
instances of where it turns blue. You
want to go for the second instance.
And what I mean by this is guys, so if
we do that again, if we come over to
you'll see it jumps.
It say it turns blue straight away. If
you come back a bit more, you see it
goes red and goes blue again. Keep
walking away from it. We want the second
instance of blue. That for them means it
ain't actually touching, which is great.
So it jumps, it goes blue, forget that
one, keep coming.
And then it will go blue again like
there. So that's slight little bit of
thing I had then.
That is what we want. Try and get that
back out. I've moved a bit. There we go,
that one there.
So again, try and get this as straight
as possible.
That angle there is
is perfectly fine. So let's put that
down like that. There we go. Do it again
on the next one.
Let it jump.
And then just place it at about
about that angle there.
Again, you don't have to be perfect with
this to be honest, but just make sure
the cut plots themselves are not
touching one another. If they overlap
with one another guys, it means that
when it comes to actually
land down the actual um
the kudzu extractor,
it says it's too close to like a boss
arena and it won't let you do it. So
yeah.
So keep that in mind.
I mean, we may run into that today, it
doesn't really matter.
So that's perfect. And then guys, I
believe we have this last one, which I
wasn't sure I ain't actually done that
one yet.
I'm not sure it's going to fit on this
last one.
But we can try it. Let's have a look. Is
the wall going to be in my way here?
Probably.
Let's see.
Oh, it's because I've got no materials.
I mean, I'm going to have to go for I'm
just going to try and do it from this
angle.
I'm not sure this is going to work cuz
it's going to be through the wall.
Yeah, it's not letting me do it because
of the wall there. Again, if I remove
the wall, I could do it, but I'm can't
really bother to do that. So, I'm just
going to get rid of that.
So, yeah. And now what guys what we do
is
I'm going to miss this force. I can't
put them up, but I'm sure my powers are
going to come for me. Anyway, we're
going to do the exact same
with this in second row. Again, we're
going to make sure guys that the crop
plots do not touch each other. That
means they don't touch these sides as
well.
So, yeah. So, we do it again.
Um and you can see they're actually
quite a decent distance away from them.
But, if you want to get them as close as
possible, that's cool. You can do that.
Um so, yeah. Again,
that is the angle you want. About there
is perfect.
So, put it down, jump across, do the
same again.
You can see they're actually quite
close, which is cool. As long as they're
not touching, you're good to go with
this.
And actually, you know, when you've
already put some down on your right-hand
side, it just makes for the actual
lining up to be a lot easier
of the actual angle you want. So, yeah.
So,
badaboom. And what I do guys is I'm just
going to put all these down as you're
seeing. And the ones I can't put down
due to too close of a things, I'll take
down themselves.
Uh but yes, once you've done this guys,
it's very very important you do not put
in the the skill fruit straight away to
make them fruit, to make them um sprout.
You don't want that to happen.
Not right away anyway. So, I'm actually
have to do. So, yeah. I'll put all these
down guys, and I'll resume the video
when I'm indeed done here.
Okay guys, so I've now put down these
skill fruit orchids on every single one
of these little iron tables guys. And
now it's very important to follow suit
exactly what I do. We need to build
a ceiling above these. Just one floor
up, one level up, one wall up above all
of these where you want to put down
these crude oil extractors. So, I'm
going to do these out of my out of my
favorite
glass, which is what I'm going to do.
I'm just going to basically just put one
foundation there. I mean, sorry, one uh
pillar there.
One pillar in this corner there.
One In fact, I don't need to do this
because I got walls I could build off
there, but it doesn't really matter to
be honest. I'll put
I'll say that one there. That's fine.
And then one on this side.
One there. That's fine, too. Even though
it's outside my base, I'll put it in
there. So, get rid of that. Now guys,
what I'm going to do is I'm going to
build basically an entire floor across
every one of these.
Um
So, yeah. Basically just This is per-
perfectly fine. Just need to be one
above
>> [snorts]
>> um these plantations because when we
actually
ins- put the skill fruits inside of
these, they'll they'll sprout obviously.
And the tree will blossom, and that will
come through the ceiling just slightly,
which allows us to then place down the
oil extractor under that tree, also
lining it up nice and straight.
So, yeah guys. So,
I'll do this. I'll speed up the video,
and I'll catch you guys back in a quick
second.
Okay, so basically put a glass flooring
above the entire
um well, above every plantation to be
honest, as you can see. Just like so.
I'm just going to build a
ladders up Well, not ladders, stairs up
to this just so my pals who will
eventually uh collect this for me can
actually get up there, which should make
sense. What the hell are you doing like
uh stairs? Get up. Get out of it.
And I'll put a couple more here.
Just like so. Just like so. And then
fill that corner in there.
And then let's color it my nice color
black. Now we have
a transport path so they can get up to
these um these oil extractors. So, now
guys, what we need to do is
put in those skill fruits in each and
every one of these crop plots.
So, yeah. We'll do that, guys.
Um just one in each perfectly fine.
Don't put more than one in each. Just
wasting them. But, you will get all of
these back, by the way, so don't worry
about that.
Yeah, so yeah, what I'll do, guys,
again, I'll skip the video.
And I will zoom back in a quick second
once I put all of these
in.
Okay, so I've now put down well, the
skill fruits in every single one of
these actual plantations. And we're now,
guys, ready to put down
indeed, the crude oil extractors.
But, don't worry. We will be getting rid
of all these trees as soon as the uh
crude oil extractors are down. [music]
So, this is what we want to be doing,
guys. So, if you stand in front
on the initial spot where we first
started, in front of and obviously the
floor above that we built, and then
select that crude oil extractor.
Make sure you got the materials. I have.
I don't think I'll have enough for
um I'll go back and get some. Don't
worry about that. I'll cut the video.
But, yeah, so pull out the crude oil
extractor. If you spin it around, you
can see that you have cylinders on it.
Make sure those cylinders are facing the
back. Just like so. We're going to do
the same thing like what we just did
well, what we did earlier in regards to
putting down the actual um the skill
fruit orchards. We're going to spin this
to the right so the cylinders are now on
our right-hand side.
As you can see, just like that. Then,
guys, we're going to do this from the
side. So, what I want you guys to just
look for
where it actually
starts to jump. And eventually, guys, if
you swiggle it around, you'll find that
point where it's blue. And that, guys,
you have quite a lot of wiggle room to
actually make sure this is now
straight.
Um you can use your well, up and down on
your other analog stick to make sure it
is actually nice and straight. It don't
have to be absolutely dead on perfect.
Uh Uh, it's still going to look right
anyway. And then, guys, you just pull it
down, move forward, find your other
spot,
find that jump.
Which can be a little bit tricky, but as
soon as you get it, guys, you are good.
And again, you can line it up with the
foundations. Just making sure it's nice
and straight.
Use your other analog to make sure it is
actually straight, or at least look
straight. Oh, don't do that.
And then, guys, you can indeed play
around with it.
And then just fasten it down. And again,
if you put it down, it don't look
straight. Don't look nice and neat. You
can always
dismantle it and rebuild it.
And again, you want to do this, guys,
for every single one of these. Not sure
how many you will have want to put down
in regards to how many oil extractors
you want.
Um, but yeah, if you if you've gone
crazy like me, so you never have to farm
oil again.
Yeah, you're going to have to do this
for a bit of a while, but hey.
Again, we're looking for that slight
jump there. So, you just move over, and
you get a jump, and then you'll get that
little
glance of blue. And then, guys, you can
simply
just plop it down.
But you don't have to be this perfectly
straight, to be honest. I could get
these way straighter.
But I ain't really that fussed.
This isn't a base I plan on being at for
a while anyway, for too long anyway, so
yeah.
And what I will say as well, guys, is
if you do get an instance, if you've if
you follow this set up perfectly, and
you do get a like an instance of um it
saying "Too close to a special boss
base." and it's not working, just keep
coming away from it. Keep walking away
from it. It should
then highlight blue, so that will allow
you to put it down.
So, yeah.
I believe this might be the last one
here on this this second row.
Uh,
so yeah, let's put you down.
I think that looks about right. So,
badaboom.
And then guys, we have
an entire row that will See that one was
a bit on a bit of a bit on a like a
a slant. Doesn't bother me that much so,
but if it does bother you, that one as
well.
Look at the on slight slant. Some of
them are perfectly straight. It's just
about trial and error, guys. Doesn't
bother me that much, but if you don't
want them on a slight slant, you'll have
to readjust them. So, yeah. What I'll do
now, guys, is
I'll do the same for every single one.
And put all these down. So, yeah. I'm
going to have to go create some more bio
batteries. But yeah, I'll cut the video
and be back in a quick second.
Okay, so I have now, guys, put down
I don't even know quite a lot of those
crude oil extractors. I did remove a
couple of spots because I just couldn't
fit them in.
Like down here, down this side, and a
couple along that side, too, which
doesn't really bother me. I will need in
this up to be honest, probably a couple
more I will remove.
But either or, guys, we now have all the
crude oil extractors down. And they're
very I wouldn't say they're perfectly
straight, but they're relatively They're
straight enough for me. You can get them
much straighter if you wanted to,
though. I'm not really fussed about
that. Now, guys, what I'm going to do is
I'm going to destroy all of these skill
fruit trees.
Um because you don't need these now,
guys, and you can actually make use of
the space under here, put storage box
under here, or whatnot. That's
completely up to you. You could make
this If you do plan on doing this sort
of thing,
and um
uh you don't want it to just be a crude
oil base, you could probably dedicate
this space underneath to something else.
That's completely up to you, but yeah.
Let me get rid of all these, guys, and
I'll be back in a quick second.
And well, guys, there we have it. I've
cleared up all of the skill fruit trees,
picked up all the skill fruits, and we
now, guys, have
a base dedicated to
farming that crude oil. The only thing
left I'm going to do now, guys, I'm
going to put down a few storage boxes
cuz I don't want them flooding my guild
chest um with oil. But, other than that,
guys, this base now I can leave it
alone. I'll just come back, make sure my
my pals are fed. Probably going to put
down a couple of springs as well. I'm
not sure about the electric situation. I
may have to add in a couple more
electric pals to um
power this thing up because these things
use a ton of electric. I've got a couple
in here now, but they're not the best of
pals, to be honest. You can get much,
much better now with 1.0.
Uh but, yeah, guys, it really is a
simple I'd say a simple It's quite
simple, but it is also quite long at the
same time. Make sure this is inside of
the base. Uh couple of chests for that
oil.
And then we are good to go, guys. So,
yeah. Um
if you've taken any inspiration from
this,
um I'll be
quite happy to let me know. Let me know
in the comments section. Um curious to
see what you actually do in here in
regards to uh oil bases. Do you plan on
doing a full base, just a floor, a
couple of these extractors? I mean, this
method you can do, like I said, anywhere
in the entire game. A previous base,
existing base, a future base you're
going to be making, you can use this
wherever you want. So, yeah, guys, I do
hope it helps you out, guys.
If it did, leave me a like. It really
helps me out. If you like what you see
and want to see more, be sure to

see you
on that
next
one.
