Primordy Oil is a Slime Science Resource found in Slime Rancher 2. It serves as a base for many Slime Science creations, so it has uses in many different recipes, such as Warp Depots, Slime Lamps, Fashion Pods, and Spring Pads.

Fortunately, this resource is classified as common, making it relatively easy to collect and use for recipes that require it. As an early game resource, it can be quite invaluable, and you’ll want to get your hands on as much Primordy Oil as you can.

You will first need the Resource Harvester to be able to collect Primordy Oil (or any resource). Collect this upgrade at the Fabricator in the Science Lab, using 450 Newbucks and 10 Cotton Plorts.


Where to get Primordy Oil

The location to find and collect Primordy OIl in Slime Rancher 2 is Ember Valley. Head over to the region, and you’ll notice that the area is full of hostile slimes that you’d do best to give a wide berth. As you explore the region, you will eventually come across small oily geysers coming out from the ground.

(Note: You might see similar geyser jets in different locations on the map, but only the ones in Ember Valley will give you Primordy Oil.)

These are places where you can harvest Primordy Oil from. Using the Resource Harvester, collect the oil and be careful not to drop the resource in nearby water or pits. Once collected, deposit the resource in the Refinery to be used for crafting utilities and upgrades.
