About
Black Gold: Oil Drilling Simulator puts you right in the muddy boots of a pioneer chasing the ultimate fortune. This is a first-person management game where success isn't handed to you it’s built with sweat, grease, and raw ambition.

You don’t just buy an oil rig; you build it. Start by clearing the land, chopping timber, and processing the materials needed to erect your very first derricks. Every plank laid and structure raised is a direct result of your hard labor.

Machinery is the beating heart of your operation, but these iron beasts need constant babysitting. Listen to the rhythm of the pumps, replace grinding gears, and fight off the ever-present rust. If you don't maintain your equipment, the elements will gladly take it back.

You can't drain the earth dry on your own. Hire a rugged crew to handle the heavy lifting. Train your workers to boost efficiency, and don't forget to upgrade your home base. Better living conditions mean higher morale, unlocking new ways to streamline your growing business.

Selling that first barrel of crude changes everything. Watch your funds skyrocket and immediately reinvest. Research early 1900s tech, expand your drilling territory, and replace rusty valves with industrial marvels. The race for wealth is unforgiving, but the payoff is legendary.

Присутсвуют лаги, разнообразия ни какого нет, цена завышена раза в два
I am disappointed it took about 8 hours to solve the game, not sure if that's counting the time I left the game on but had it paused. Wish there was more to do and the map was larger. 9/12 accomplishments and 2 of em will be easy to do.

Nicht empfehlenswert! Ich habe die Demo bereits vor etwa zwei Wochen gespielt und nach ca. 3,5 Stunden praktisch alles gesehen. Leider bietet die Vollversion kaum mehr Inhalt. Nach insgesamt etwa 5 Stunden ist die Kampagne durch. Das Gameplay bleibt größtenteils gleich. Öltürme bauen und mit Holz und Metall upgraden. In der Vollversion gibt es lediglich ein paar zusätzliche Upgrades, eine Mine und zwei weitere Ölplattformen. Wirklich neuer Spielinhalt kommt dadurch aber kaum dazu. Auch das Levelsystem wirkt unfertig. Bei mir war bereits bei Level 2 Schluss. Später rennt man eigentlich nur noch von einem Ölturm zum nächsten und versucht, genug Holz nachzuliefern. Die Drohne hilft dabei leider nur bedingt, da sie das Holz teilweise an der falschen Stelle abwirft. Meistens auf die Ölplattform drauf, oder daneben, aber nicht auf dem markierten Sammelpunkt! Das Spiel macht grundsätzlich Spaß, aber für 12 € ist der Umfang meiner Meinung nach viel zu gering. Wer die kostenlose Demo gespielt hat, hat bereits 90% des Spiels gesehen. Für mich fühlt sich die Version eher wie eine leicht erweiterte Demo als wie ein vollständiges Spiel an.
Played the demo ages ago and loved it, the full game is pretty much the same as the demo, but a bit more grindy. The game could be excellent with a few tweaks, (automation improvement, better building UI). As others have said, this is a wood chopping sim. It could do with a big discount until its better.
I really enjoyed this game, but I'm frustrated because it was over so quickly. After about 3 hours of gameplay, it said I had reached the end of the available content. Granted, I enjoyed those 3 hours, but I was expecting more from this game. Hopefully more content will come free later in future patches. Also, the game rarely launches on the first try, typically takes about 2 or 3 tries to get the game running correctly.
Play 4 hours and completed. Feels like there could be a lot more added later but right now its not far different from the Demo. once you get staff you just spend 90% of the time putting oil on the rigs. I hope they add more because it could be a lot of fun.
if you love running around and playing fast-paced games then you'll like it. but unfortunately, it's overpriced for a 4 hour game. check out the gameplay; https://youtu.be/Uds1BhOrE-I
Don't believe what it says. You never stop cutting trees. As for the game, it's a decent start. If you want to waste a few hours wandering around, cutting trees and upgrading stuff it will scratch that itch.
Die Idee dahinter ist nett aber wenn man nach noch nicht mal 5 Std am ende er Story ist, ist das mehr als enttäuschend. Und die Story am für sich ist Lustig aber sie zu erzählen in dem man irgendwelche Tagebuchseiten auf der Karte Sammelt ist auch irgendwie nicht so der Knaller. Das man obwohl man Angestellte hat immer noch mit einer Ölkanne rum rennen muss um Maschienen zu schmieren ist auch irgend wie ein schlechter scherz, Das Haus kann man einrichten ja. Bringt das was ? Ganz klar nein für die kurze Spielzeit Lohnt der aufwand Null. Kann man das Spiel Empfehlen ? So wies es grade ist ganz klar nein.
Well it's a good game other than finishing it in 4 hours
