Oil
A can of petroleum-based oil. Used for repair and crafting.
Overview
Oil is a petroleum-derived lubricant item presented in a canister form. It exists as a discrete inventory item called Oil and is described in-game as a can of petroleum-based oil used primarily for maintaining and producing other items. The item represents a common mechanical consumable: a small container of oil intended for repairing machinery, tools, and for use as a crafting ingredient in recipes that require a lubricant or petroleum component.
The can is explicitly petroleum-based, emphasizing its role as a conventional machine oil rather than a specialty synthetic fluid. In practical terms within the game, Oil functions as a consumable component that is expended when performing repair actions and when consumed by crafting recipes that list Oil as an ingredient. The item’s depiction as a sealed can implies it is a portable, ready-to-use supply intended for field repairs and workshop use alike.
- Primary uses: Oil is used for repair actions and for crafting recipes that require a petroleum-derived lubricant or oil component. When applied to an item or included in a recipe, Oil is consumed.
- Form and presentation: The item appears as a can/canister of oil, reflecting a standard containerized lubricant that can be carried in inventory and used where needed.
- Flavor and classification: Oil is classified as a petroleum-based item; descriptions across languages consistently identify it as derived from petroleum and suitable for mechanical maintenance and production tasks.
- Handling and economy: Oil functions as a basic resource component. It is intended to be stocked for routine maintenance and as a recurring ingredient for crafting workflows that involve metal parts, moving components, or recipes that require lubrication.
- Interactions: Oil’s role is strictly as a consumable for repair and crafting; it does not double as a fuel or as a chemical reagent beyond those stated uses in repair and item creation.
Because Oil is a generic consumable component rather than a unique quest object, players should consider keeping a modest reserve for unexpected repair needs and for any recipes that list Oil explicitly. Its petroleum basis makes it a straightforward substitute in any context where a standard machine oil is required by game systems.
