With the Resource Harvester raring to go, you’ll next want to make your way to the Ember Valley region. Once here, you’ll want to look out for small jets in the ground, normally near the edge of the land. That said, when harvesting from these jets, be careful not to drop the resources, as you risk them falling into nearby waters!

These small jets can be found all over the map, but it’s the ones in Ember Valley that’ll give you Primordy Oil. With each harvest, you should hopefully bag between 2 and 2 Primordy Oil.

Now, don’t forget to deposit the Primordy Oil into the Refinery, so you can use it for utilities, upgrades, and more!
