The Oil Drill can be crafted after you unlock the fourth tier of the Crafting Table. Listed below are the different unlock requirements for each of the four tiers of the Crafting Table:

• Tier 1: Available by default.
• Tier 2: 1x Scraps, 5x Wood
• Tier 3: 15x Scraps, 15x Wood
• Tier 4: 30x Wood, 20x Scraps, 2x Cultist Gems

Once you have the fourth tier unlocked, you need the following materials to craft the Oil Drill:

• 25x Wood: Available by chopping down trees of all sizes.
• 35x Scraps: Can be scavenged from anything metal found on the map.
• 1x Cultist Gem: Dropped by Cultist enemies.

After crafting it, place the machine in a sufficiently large empty space and let it give you access to a limitless supply of oil.

The Oil Drill is functionally very simple: once placed, it will dig into the earth and store the oil it retrieves in the process. It activates every once in a while and doesn’t require manual activation. This makes it a great source of fuel, matching the likes of the Biofuel Processor.

Since it takes care of your fueling needs, you are left free to explore and collect other resources to craft new items. So, the Oil Drill can be a good craftable piece of equipment to aim for at the beginning of the game, allowing you to focus on more pressing aspects of survival.
