KING OF OIL: 500 Barrel Goal Guide
KING OF OIL requires selling 500 barrels of oil. Count completed sales rather than barrels produced or left in storage. The official achievement description provides the threshold, not a completion time. Use your observed sale rate to estimate the remaining work, then check Steam for the unlock instead of treating a planner target as proof of completion.
The field decision
KING OF OIL requires selling 500 barrels of oil. Count completed sales rather than barrels produced or left in storage. The official achievement description provides the threshold, not a completion time. Use your observed sale rate to estimate the remaining work, then check Steam for the unlock instead of treating a planner target as proof of completion.
Official current-build and patch facts are cited below. Suggested checks are editorial guidance; historical demo sources retain their original dates.
Quick facts
- Listed goal: 500 barrels sold.
- Barrel assignment changed in 1.0.1.
- Maintenance downtime belongs inside your observed pace.
- The planner estimates from user inputs only.
From the 100-barrel checkpoint
At the LORD OF OIL checkpoint, 400 sales remain toward KING OF OIL. Compare a stable setup with one proposed improvement in scenarios A and B. Use a fresh delivered-sales observation after the change; do not assume an extra rig doubles actual sales.
If the goal appears complete but Steam stays locked
Separate a manual count from what the game recorded. Check that the total represents sold oil barrels, not ore sales or stored barrels. We have not verified a hidden counter-repair method, cross-save accumulation rule or instant-unlock workaround. Preserve the build, count and sale observation and report the discrepancy rather than editing a save.

Read the system before acting
| Situation | Meaning | Next action |
|---|---|---|
| Production rises | Sales may still be bottlenecked | Watch completed deliveries |
| Pace varies | One estimate is fragile | Compare slow and steady scenarios |
| Session ends | Progress needs a baseline | Record the sale count |
| Threshold reached | Web estimate is not Steam state | Confirm the unlock |
Common mistakes
