How to Get Fiber in Palworld

Fiber is one of the essential early-game resources you’ll need in Palworld. Whether you’re building structures, crafting items, or expanding your base, you’ll want to stockpile a steady supply. This guide covers the two main methods for obtaining fiber, from the straightforward approach to a more automated solution.

Method 1: Chopping Trees

The most direct way to get fiber is by chopping down trees. When you harvest a tree, you’ll receive both wood and fiber as drops. For example, a single tree can yield approximately 20 wood and 6 fiber.

While this method is simple and requires no setup, it’s labor-intensive and not scalable for large quantities. Once you’ve gathered some initial resources, you’ll want to explore more efficient options.

Method 2: Using the Grinder (Automated)

The grinder is a game-changer for fiber farming. This automated machine allows you to convert wood directly into fiber, making it a much more efficient long-term solution compared to chopping trees manually.

How the Grinder Works

To operate the grinder, you’ll need a water-based Pal to power it. The T-Fant is the recommended Pal for this task. Here’s the process:

Place a T-Fant near the grinder

The T-Fant will shoot water at the water wheel

This causes the grinder to turn and process materials

Conversion Rate

The grinder uses a simple 1:1 conversion ratio: 1 wood = 1 fiber. This means if you have 100 wood, you can produce 100 fiber without any additional inputs beyond the initial water power from your T-Fant.

Why Choose the Grinder?

Once you progress past the early game and have the resources to build a grinder, this method offers several advantages:

Automated: Runs passively while you focus on other tasks

Efficient: Converts wood at a 1:1 ratio with no waste

Scalable: Set up multiple grinders for large-scale fiber production

Sustainable: Use excess wood from base building and tree farming

Summary

Getting fiber in Palworld doesn’t have to be tedious. Start with basic tree chopping to gather your initial resources, then upgrade to a grinder powered by a T-Fant for consistent, automated production. This two-stage approach ensures you have enough fiber for early-game needs while building toward a self-sustaining resource system. With the grinder running smoothly, you’ll never run short on fiber again.
