Description[]
Oil Shale can only be found by Mining in the Desert biome. Oil Shale is placed into your Inventory when mining Oil Deposits. It has a purple hue and is somewhat shiny on higher graphic settings, with a brushed appearance as seen here as a Surface Node. Oil Shale is found in the Desert by digging down at about 20 blocks, where the stone layer begins. It is in the stone layer under the desert just like other ores. It can also very commonly be found in the caves in the desert and usually in extremely large quantities so make sure that if you are mining it that you have plenty of free inventory space. Each time you successfully mine an Oil Deposit you receive 100 Oil Shale in your inventory. This is more compared to the usual 40 units of each other mineral you get by mining them.
