Squid Oil — Detailed Guide

Squid Oil is a thick blob of oily ink from the Tusoteuthis, the giant squid of the deep sea. The game says it can be refined into fuel, which makes it a sea-based alternative source of oil. It is in both ASA and ASE.

How to get it

  • Wild squid: kill a Tusoteuthis or an Alpha Tusoteuthis and loot the body.
  • Tames: it slowly builds up in the inventory of a tamed Tusoteuthis or Basilosaurus.

Tips

It spoils in 2.5 hours, so empty your tame's inventory and use the oil soon. Each unit weighs 0.2.
