The field decision
Black Gold has 12 listed Steam achievements spanning first actions, derrick construction, oil-barrel sales, a money target and a rolling-barrel jump. Track completed actions in Steam and use the local checklist for planning. Sale milestones are 1, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 barrels; neither stored oil nor a manually ticked web checkbox is an achievement unlock.
Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.
Quick facts
- Five listed achievements count oil-barrel sales.
- CONSTRUCTOR and ENGINEER require one and three built derricks respectively.
- RICH MAN lists $50,000; the description does not settle its exact accounting logic.
- DONKEY JUMP! concerns jumping over a rolling barrel.
A practical order without a fabricated speedrun
House cleanup, the first tree, the first employee and the first constructed rig fit the early field loop. Once a barrel reaches the sale destination, use the sale milestones as increasingly large checkpoints. Construction, cash and jumping are separate tracks; the tracker keeps manual checkmarks independent from estimated barrel and cash progress.

Read the system before acting
| Situation | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| CLEAN HOUSE | Clean up the house | Finish the house-cleaning objective and confirm the Steam unlock. |
| LUMBERJACK | Cut down the first tree | This is a first-tree action, distinct from the hired Lumberjack system. |
| BOSS | Hire your first employee | Hire against a useful task, then check Steam for the unlock. |
| FIRST SALE | Sell your first barrel of oil | A filled or transported barrel is not yet a completed sale. |
| BUSINESSMAN | Sell 50 barrels of oil | Count completed barrel sales, not barrels waiting in the field. |
| LORD OF OIL | Sell 100 barrels of oil | Use the 50-barrel milestone as a checkpoint before doubling the target. |
| KING OF OIL | Sell 500 barrels of oil | Measure delivered sales over a repeatable interval. |
| GOD OF OIL | Sell 1000 barrels of oil | Split the remaining sales into repeatable sessions. |
| CONSTRUCTOR | Build your first derrick | Complete construction rather than just selecting a placement. |
| ENGINEER | Build 3 derricks | Three derricks is the listed goal; upgrades are not additional structures. |
| RICH MAN | Collect $50,000 | The description does not settle lifetime receipts versus current cash; track both observations. |
| DONKEY JUMP! | Jump over a rolling barrel | Use an actually rolling barrel and confirm the unlock in Steam. |
