Another annoyance in Wasteland 3 is similar to the Underrail wiki where there is a lack of information on what are the exact consequences of certain choices. Until you do it yourself, it is hard to tell what you could or could not do in certain situations. Even if you did do it yourself, you may still get confused from what I hear. I would hope this has grown less of an issue since I played, but in theory, there are other alternatives to the solution of drilling oil. I never tried it myself, but I remember that the people who did would wonder if they did something wrong or not.
