Oil Drilling Skill Book
Notes
The Oil Drilling Skill Book is a research item created at a Research Table, allowing any player to produce unlimited Oil Drilling skill scrolls by right-clicking the book. Learning the Oil Drilling specialty is required for extracting crude oil, a key step in advancing to combustion engines, plastics, and high-tier industrial power โ but it also introduces significant pollution. Because Oil Drilling is a tierโ4 specialty, the star cost to learn it is high and increases further with each other specialty you already know, so plan your specialization path accordingly.
