In this episode of Turmoil (an oil drilling game) I have two terrible years due to bad timing on my part and then one decent year. I'm in the final ice biome now which allows heating of the natural gas pockets but I need to buy those upgrades first.

Thank you all for the detailed tips.

Turmoil is an oil drilling game where you explore using dowsers and other methods to find pockets of oil. You then can use rigs and drill down oil pipe to find oil. You can use horses and wagons to store the oil or sell it on the market with fluctuating prices. It's a classic min max game with lots of 19th century western flavor. You compete against 3 other AI players and try to build your fat stacks and access upgrades.




From the developer:

Description

Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Get a taste of the rush and rivalry of the time as you earn your way to become a successful oil entrepreneur. As you make money digging up and selling oil, the town will grow along with you.

Turmoil was in a prototype phase for a year before it entered Steam Early Access in June 2015. After spending exactly one year there, Turmoil was released succesfully for PC's in June 2016. In February 2017 Turmoil was also released on iOS, exclusively for iPad.
