The Elder Scrolls: Castles Oil Guide — How to get Oil

Oil is one of the two important resources in The Elder Scrolls: Castles, alongside Food. Just like in real life, Oil keeps the lights on in the castle. Players need to make sure they have a stockpiled surplus of Oil to keep everything operating. If you run out of Oil, rooms in the castle will stop operating. This can create a cascading effect where your entire castle can come to a halt. Don’t worry, we’ve figured out exactly how to get Oil in The Elder Scrolls: Castles so that you can make sure that doesn’t happen.

Keep in mind there may be additional ways to generate Oil in the future, but this is all the best ways to get Oil for now.

How to get more Oil in The Elder Scrolls: Castles

The best way to make sure you’re not having an Oil shortage is to increase your overall production. The primary way to get more Oil in The Elder Scrolls: Castles is via an Oil Press. The Oil Press will generate Oil over time, based on the level of the structure as well as the subjects you have assigned. Once the resources have been generated, you will see an Oil icon over the Oil Press that you can tap on to collect it. This will add it to your stockpile, which will then allow all the buildings in your castle to make use of the Oil automatically.

You can increase the productivity of your Oil Press by upgrading them, as well as assigning efficient subjects to them. You can upgrade your Oil Press by tapping on it, and then tapping on the upgrade button at the top left. In order to assign new subjects to it, you have to click and hold on the subject and then drag them to the Oil Press.

How to Build an Oil Press

In order to build another Oil Press in The Elder Scrolls: Castles, you will need the required resources. The required resources to build an Oil Press are:

• 1,400 Gold
• 150 Clay
• 125 Quartz

You will also need the space to build the structure. It is two tiles wide, and one tile high, which is pretty easy to accommodate. This means you can pretty much put an Oil Press anywhere, though you will want it to be easily accessible.
