How to Make Oil in Infinite Craft
Checked in the game in October 2026
Oil comes from fossils here, just as fuel does in real life. Lava cooled with Water gives Stone, and a Plant pressed into that Stone turns into a Fossil. Soaking the Fossil in Water draws out Oil. Fossil is the turning point, and it is the one element worth noting for later.
Quick answer
Fossil+Water=Oil
Combine Fossil and Water to get Oil.
