How to Make Oil in Infinite Craft

Here's how to make Oil in Infinite Craft in just five easy steps.

Infinite Craft is the latest element-combining game that takes an incredibly simple premise - combining the four basic elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water to create new objects and elements - and brings it to entirely new heights. Utilizing an AI to create inventive combinations and categories, Infinite Craft has hundreds of thousands of possible combinations and solutions to reach almost any creation that players can think of.

With such a huge pool of creations, it can be difficult to find the exact combination you'll need to create a specific result. With multiple solutions, one player might create the desired answer in five moves, and another may take 50 - that's the beauty of using AI to learn and grow the game. 

How, then, can a player make a specific building block such as Oil? Don't worry - we've found one of the best ways to create the word "Oil" in Infinite Craft so you can continue using it for future combinations.

How to Make Oil in Infinite Craft

One of the shortest paths we've found to make Oil in Infinite Craft requires just five steps total, starting with nothing but the original four elements consisting of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. You'll need to take these four elements and eventually create Fossil, which will bring you to the ever-elusive Oil.

How to Make Fossil in Infinite Craft

The major building block you'll make on your path to crafting Oil in Infinite Craft is Fossil. To do so, you'll start with a combination of Earth and Fire to create Lava. Then, merge your new Lava block with Water to make Stone.

Once you have your Stone block, hold on to it and instead combine Earth with Water to produce Plant. Now you can add the Stone block you previously crafted to your new Plant block to get Fossil, the only thing you need aside from a starter element to create Oil in Infinite Craft.

Making Oil in Infinite Craft

You're now already on your final step to craft Oil in Infinite Craft. All that's left to do is to combine Fossil with the starter element Water block and voilà, you'll finally have your long-awaited Oil block. The game's AI is quite intuitive with its technique here if you consider it, as we do indeed get oil (the energy kind, not the food kind) from fossils. Hence the term "fossil fuel."

It makes sense then that all you need in-game is a little bit of Water and a Fossil block since you could think of real-life oil as liquid fossils. Take a look at our handy table below for a step-by-step breakdown of how to create Fossil and eventually Oil in Infinite Craft.
