How to Obtain Initial Mechanite Oil?
I've researched all of the items required for Luciferium production and have both living and dead Mechanoids ready to go.

How do I obtain the initial batch of mechanite oil required to build the stasis pods?

I don't see any obvious action or recepie for turning a mechanoid into mechanite oil, nor does it appear when disassembling the Mechanoid. Do I just have to wait for a drop / trader?

Found it. It is an 'operation' that you have to perform on a downed (but not dead) Mechanoid corpose.

sry didn't see this.

and yes you usally get it by operating on downed mechanoid units. scythers give 1 oil unit, centipedes 2. exotic goods trader will sometimes have some (if a mod adds a trader which deals with exotic stuff they have it too). later one if you have a stasis pod you can use that to get oil, but needs 20 oil to build. so you will have to get started with the first two options to get you set up.

edit/update: since rimworld 1.0 now you have to disassemble the mech corpse and get 1 oil as an additional product from it. so slightly lower amount overall, but you dont have to down them.
