Even if I could 'try something different' I just don't have time after repairing from tile seven.

I do corruption crystals 1 for bells, but I don't have any durable light tanks to spare for scouting oil. I usually throw on a heavy tank since it's more emblems and I can't keep paying for rescues and have any hope of affording a fourth or fifth scout slot. I've stopped building tanks in the factory to save the oil and money for scouting slots. Honestly though I have no confidence I'm going to get out of this without spending cores. There's too little margin and too many chances for me to miss a day or leave my asgardian oil fields fallow too long.
Your lights don't gather any more oil with increased durability. You can send out ANY lights you have...if they're not 'durable' enough you just need to bring them back more frequently. People get so caught up in setting and forgetting their scouts, but this is event time...normal rules go out the window. You should be pulling enough emblems from the event map to finish your dailies and not need the heavies.

But mostly your problem is that you haven't unlocked even your fourth scout slot. You simply won't have the oil to do this with just three scouts, and this makes you not the 'typical player' to whom I was referring. You are playing catch-up to the rest of us...not necessarily in level, but in overall preparedness for event play. Indeed, you will need to decide if you just HAVE to have all three copies of both and spend cores to get there, or if you can get by with just one copy of each and save your cores for later. I made that call on the last event and settled for only two copies of T95 Tessa because I didn't want to spend cores on RNG cornucopia to maybe not get the third copy. We all have to make choices sometimes. Your situation marks you as an outlier, but that's exactly what the exchange of cores for ornaments and candy canes is for...especially if as you describe, you have 'many chances to miss a day.' My analysis on event completion was never meant for casual players.
