Martyn 246 Posted April 8, 2019 This is certainly a question for the devs to answer, mineral oil is found as various oil rocks around the game, both on the surface and underwater. Mineral oil is toxic, that is to say drink it and you die.. irl. Fish oil/whale oil however is slightly different. Although I wouldn't recommend drinking whale oil. Fish oil is good for your skin and other parts of you. Typically, fire is made from whale and mineral, but whale oil can only really support a slow burning flame, good for lamps etc It isn't explosive like mineral oils. Unless it's on fire and you add water.. So from a realism point of view, a fuel used to make liquid flame/napalm etc would probably require specifically mineral oil. Where as fish oil/whale oil would suffice for lamps, torches and hinges. However from a gaming and generic point of view.. oil is just oil.. does it really matter where it comes from? Wood is wood.. metal ore is metal ore.. stone is stone. Oil.. isn't oil? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
