# Upgrade and Boost

You can use CORE or its equivalent amount  in Oil or VeOil to upgrade your oil field. Once upgraded, you can activate the boost feature to enhance your OIL output rate and earn more from the increased OIL production. The oil output bonus is directly proportional to the oil field's level. The increased output can be influenced by random events, and the bonus for boosted oil fields will adjust once the random event countdown concludes.

To upgrade the oil field, you'll need to consume CORE. The amount of oil needed to trigger the boost is based on the oil field's current output (measured in days). For instance, the boost cost for a level 2 oil field is equivalent to 3 days of its output.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.energycrisis.xyz/cor_en/game-play/upgrade-and-boost.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
