What the letters mean

S means buy it before you leave the plot. A means it feeds a line that already sells. B means a side area after the starter sale is stable. D means it does not fix a stopped line.

Which Oil Tycoon! ⛽ boards are on this hub?

Two jobs, two lists. Open a child page for the long table. This hub is the snapshot.

Tierfactory-priority6 ranked rows.

S tier

factory-priorityStarter sale pathThe opening recordings only start making money after oil is in the barrel, a dropper and conveyor exist, and one item changes the cash counter.

Player decision Buy this before side areas. Editorial priority for a new plot, not an official rank.

factory-priorityRefinery drill and its workerThe refinery drill creates the first crude handoff. In the 19 September 2026 recording the drill was $500 and the worker that carried for one drill was $670.

Player decision Hire the worker after you have carried one item yourself and confirmed which drill it staffs.

A tier

factory-priorityWells and pump jacksWells and pump jacks refill the shared oil supply. Factories in the recordings stop when that supply is empty.

Player decision Add supply after the starter sale works, and again when a new factory drains the tank.

factory-priorityAsphalt and plastic linesAsphalt uses an oil pump and a processed sale. Plastic uses a button machine, an upgrader, and a later saw blade, with a button presser automating the press.

Player decision Open them after the refinery handoff is staffed, not instead of it.

B tier

factory-priorityFarm, mine, and fishingThe farm feeds a separate route and holds the catapult and Guy's race. The mine processes gems after the rock barrier opens. Fishing feeds a fish-oil line near the end of a completion run.

Player decision Visit the farm first among these three, because the beanstalk chain is also the dynamite route.

D tier

factory-priorityWalls and non-production buysWalls and similar structure buys show up early and do not move oil, staff a drill, or reach the seller.

Player decision Skip them while a tank is empty or a carry is still manual.

FAQ

Oil Tycoon! ⛽ ranking questions

Is this an official Oil Tycoon! ranking?

No. The letters are an editing order for the first factory: fix the sale path before side areas and cosmetics. Your server's button prices can change the payback.
