The Scorched Earth DLC has brought us many good things, but also some bad ones. Many systems need to be maintained, like the Power Generators, for example. On the other hand, Oil gathering has never been easier, considering they gave us a slow but completely AFK system to do it. Let’s get into this All Scorched Earth Oil Vein Locations guide!
All Scorched Earth Oil Vein Locations – Ark Survival Evolved
To start off, it’s important to note that Oil Veins seem to spawn exclusively on the east and northeastern side of the map. I personally haven’t been able to find veins anywhere else on the map, nor have I seen others find them anywhere else.
Everything is on the right as you can see. Numbers correlate to the list of locations at the end.
Oil Vein Locations
The first location we’re going to mention is at these coordinates approximately: 49.4 / 62.1. The image below is going to show it on the map as well, just in case it’s easier to remember it that way.
Make sure you’ve your Oil Pump crafted before you go looking for these.
If you are playing on a multiplayer server, you should also consider walling your Oil Pumps off to prevent people from stealing from you, as it does happen quite often.
Once you’ve located an Oil Vein, walk up to it and just place the Oil Pump right on top. From there, you can simply open its inventory (E) and pick up the oil. The process of digging is very slow, however it’s completely hands-free after you place your pump so it’s well worth it. It doesn’t require any maintenance, except keeping intruders at bay with walls and things alike.
