Brief Summary: In short, picking oil is a dread and with current pricing it's near enough impossible to even pay someone to do it for you.

Detailed Suggestion: I think that Oil Picking should be at least made easier, having to walk around a beach picking the canisters up one at a time is a HUGE time constraint, especially when even offering money to people they still don't want to do it, and I don't blame them, I feel as though the smallest change (Picking 2 oil per jug) would massively benefit the economy of the server and make it less of a grind and more time to Roleplay.

The Pros: Less grind, better QOL for those picking it, ROLEPLAY

The Cons: Dev Work (Sorry Devs!)

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ? Yes, but in a beneficial way.

 
 😉 Do agree though, hopefully changes soon as would be nice to have more business do this sort of work

 
Would be nice to see it be more like fruit picking where you can become better at it getting more oil each time. +1

 
I feel these changes are needed especially with the new recipes that are currently in place, as it stands for independent non gang run companies it is VERY difficult to gather the necessary resources in order to actually produce the recipes, plus it would allow for an abundance of new Roleplay opportunities especially when purchasing these resources from people! 

EDIT: The fact people are downvoting this without commenting just because it's my suggestion is very childish...

Got my vote Tommy. I dont mind it as it is even though its not great Ive done it for my company and will continue to do so because i need to. A bigger pickup amount or skill up amount would be awesome.

A gathering skill which encompasses both wood and oil and future natural resources should they be added would be the optimal outcome. Investment in character being the paramount driving force behind that suggestion.

 
+1, a gathering skill would make much sense to be implemented, as practically everything else does, oil could as well

 
+1, oil picking is very tedious. Any way to make it even slightly easier would be extremely beneficial to the economy of the server and the independent businesses.

 
@TommyTVIm guessing since the minigame was added to this, this suggestion is basically implemented?

It is still quite tedious and lengthy to do, I plan on doing more testing tomorrow or within an hour or two

Conducted further testing, this is still a very lengthy process and the mini-game appears to actually make the process a lot longer, would it not be possible to ditch the mini-game for oil picking and make it 2 jugs of oil everytime? I feel that would be more beneficial 🙂 

 
Personally I think with the mini-game now, it makes it much faster as you can get between 2 - 4 oil containers per pickup, so it has helped it a lot and reduced the time drastically
