Black Gold Wiki Keeps an Unreleased Oil Game Honest

Field notes

The manual models the game as a connected operating chain: timber and derricks lead to drilling, while storage, tankers, maintenance, labor and sale value determine whether production works. Its four browser tools retain useful state locally and expose inputs such as gross revenue, costs, break-even, machine condition, worker bottlenecks and upgrade priorities. The site also marks refinery, train and electricity details as developer-described rather than confirmed, preserving a visible boundary between documentation and speculation.
