December 13th was a big day for aspiring oil tycoons who also happen to be Xbox gamers. On this day, revoltThe unique simulation game about pumping oil at the turn of the 20th century is available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and the Microsoft Store. That's why we've put together five hot tips to get your oil empire off to a smooth start!
1. Search and you will find!
Once you reach your first oil field, the first thing you need to do is locate the underground wells filled with the bubbling crude oil. Your first – and best – method is to use dowsers. They comb the field for a while, and once they find a well, they whistle to draw your attention. Note that these dowsers discover the wells in approximate order of depth, so you don't have to drill too deep to find the wells they find first. Later, you can also hire specially trained moles to search for oil or use advanced scanners to uncover specific parts of the underground terrain. Nevertheless, the trusty dowser will always remain the cornerstone of your oil hunting escapades.
2. Smooth drilling
Then it's time to set up your rig and start drilling. Every foot of your pipeline costs money. The shorter the line between the drilling rig and the borehole, the better. On the other hand, oil rigs are also expensive. So if you could run these pipes from one rig to multiple wells, that would also be a blessing. It's about building the most efficient and cost-effective pipeline network to extract as much oil as possible before your land lease expires. But be careful: there Is something like do to So! When oil is pumped up faster than your horse-drawn carts can move it, spills occur… which is not only a waste of perfectly good black gold, but also results in a hefty fine.
3. The price is right… or left?
Naturally, revolt It's not just about bringing oil to the surface. It's also about selling it… for maximum profit! These rail cars filled with crude oil can be sent to one of two competing oil companies, aptly named Left, Inc. and Right, Inc. Keep an eye on their fluctuating prices and sell wisely to maximize profits. Sometimes the market can be pretty bleak on both sides. This is where silos come in handy: store your valuable product until prices rise again.
4. Lubricate your gears
Let's face it: you didn't get into the oil business to make a modest profit every year. At Turmoil, the key to success is to continually improve your operations to increase efficiency and profitability. Luckily, the charming frontier town you return to after each drilling expedition offers plenty of opportunities to do just that. You can invest in faster horses, bigger wagons, wider pipes and much more. But set your priorities clearly! Branching pipes, deeper dowsing rods and the aforementioned silos should be at the top of your list… while playing in the saloon is something you should only do if you have money to spare.
5. Land of opportunity
Your first piece of land will be assigned to you. After that, you decide which property you want to stake your claim on… and some of them are much richer in oil than others. Keep in mind that once you find a succulent site, the adjacent fields are likely to be fertile soil as well. But be warned, your competitors are aware of this… and you must be prepared to outbid them all to lease the most promising land. Eventually, you'll move into new areas that offer even more opportunities to get rich. The potential for this exists, for example, in packages that contain natural gas very lucrative indeed. And the Xbox and Microsoft Store version of Turmoil includes the DLC The heat is on DLC with a new map that introduces fields of liquid, hot magma, increasing the challenge even further… and the temperature.
So there you have it! These strategic pointers provide everything you need to get your drilling dynasty off the ground revolt releases this week on Xbox and the Microsoft Store.
