Black Oil is a vital resource to discover in Abiotic Factor. If you’re curious about how to acquire this material, here’s all the essential information.
Black Oil serves as a biological research material, featuring a maximum stack of 32 and a weight of 0.1. It belongs to the Resources and Sub-components category, signifying that these items can be obtained through the destruction or scrapping of objects.
How to Acquire Black Oil in Abiotic Factor
The primary method to obtain Black Oil is by butchering Inkfish at the Chef’s Counter in Abiotic Factor. Besides Black Oil, you can also gather the following items from these fish:
- 2 Raw Inkfish Filet
- 1 Fish Bones
- 1 Fish Oil
- Night Essence
- Black Oil
While Raw Inkfish Filet, Fish Bones, and Fish Oil have a 100% drop rate, Black Oil has a 10% chance of being acquired. Consequently, you may need to catch numerous Inkfish from the well in The Night Realm.
You’ll know you’ve caught an Inkfish when black water particles start to appear. Once you achieve Crafting Level 2, you can construct a Chef’s Counter by combining 8 Wood Planks, 2 Power Supply Units, 4 Metal or Hydro Pipes, and 4 Metal Scrap. To butcher Inkfish, approach the right side of the Chef’s Counter.
Keep in mind that Inkfish have a decay limit of 100. Once they decay completely, they turn into Rotten Fish, which does not yield Black Oil.
