In Fallout 4, oil is a fairly rare ingredient, as is the trash in which it is contained. Next, the process of creating oil from other materials will be described in detail, as well as a list of traders who can cope with this task.
How to get trash oil
You can get oil in Fallout 4 if you parse an aluminum or ordinary canister or blowtorch. Such items can be found in the garage, in the warehouse or in the hangar. Parsing these items provides only one unit of oil.
Paint cans also contain oil, but are harder to find. Such items give two units.
In the kitchen of any home, you can find sunflower oil, which is also a source of regular oil. It is capable of producing as many as three units of raw materials.
Soap and lighters can also provide one at a time. Rare oil carriers are lights and fuel for Mr. Assistant.
A full grease fitting, as well as an empty one, is also a carrier of the desired object, so you should not exclude them from the search.
Oil production using cutting fluid
Such a liquid in Fallout 4 is an ideal source of oil, and creating it will be easier than ever since the components necessary for its preparation can be found anywhere. Here is a list of ingredients for making cutting fluid:
- Bones in the amount of 8 pieces.
- Two units of acid.
- Water, only purified - two pieces.
- Three pieces of steel.
The most difficult thing is to find the bones, since they can’t just be bought from sellers in the game. To get them, you need to search the corpses of such representatives of the fauna as Brahmins, mole rats and death claws. Their teeth, skulls and paws are able to provide the player with the necessary number of bones. Even in the settlements of super mutants, you can find bags of meat, in which sometimes there are human bones and many other bonuses, such as caps or cartridges.
As for the acid, it can be obtained from the cleaning agent "Abrasco", which is full in the vastness of the Commonwealth. Also, substances containing acid can be purchased from sellers in the "Junk" section, they will be needed to extract oil in Fallout 4.
The most affordable component for creating a cutting fluid is purified water. For independent water production, it will be necessary to install several treatment plants that will provide the player with the necessary raw materials. You can pick up the desired object in the workshop of the settlement. If the player decided to take a different path, bypassing the building regime, then the merchants will gladly part with the water for a few caps.
The last ingredient is steel, which is in abundance in the Wasteland. It can be mined by parsing various materials in construction mode. Still steel can be purchased in batches from certain merchants.
Having collected all the elements, you can begin to create a cutting fluid to get oil in Fallout 4.
