Ore Farming Guide in Palworld

Ready to optimize your ore production in Palworld? This complete guide walks you through unlocking all mining sites, setting up efficient farms, and automating your ore collection. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to scale up your mining operations, we’ll cover everything you need to know about ore farming and resource automation.

Understanding the Technology Tree

To begin ore farming in Palworld, you’ll need to access the technology tree. On the right-hand side of the technology tree menu, you’ll find the option to unlock various mining sites as you level up. This is the foundational system for accessing all ore farming opportunities in the game.

Mining Sites by Level

Different mining sites unlock at specific technology levels. Here’s the progression you can expect:

Early Game Mining Sites

At level 24, you’ll unlock your first Ore Mining Site. Stone mining sites also unlock early in the game, though the exact level may vary.

Mid Game Mining Sites

At level 39, you’ll gain access to an All Mining Site II. This represents a significant upgrade in your mining capabilities and ore production potential.

At level 42, the Coal Mine becomes available for unlock. This is essential if you need consistent coal production for your base operations.

Late Game Mining Sites

At level 46, you’ll unlock the Sulfur Mine. Finally, at level 51, the Pure Quartz Mine becomes available. With all these options unlocked, you’ll have access to every mining site type in the game.

Base Capacity and Planning

Keep in mind that each base can only support 15 Pals unless you modify your world settings. This limitation is crucial for planning your ore farming strategy.

Setting Up a Secondary Production Base

The recommended approach is to establish a dedicated secondary base purely for ore mining. This separation allows you to maximize production without sacrificing other base functions.

If You’re Not High-Level Yet

If you haven’t unlocked the mining farms yet, the best strategy is to set up your secondary base near natural ore deposits on the map. For example, the desert region contains significant coal deposits. You can position your base in these areas to take advantage of the natural resources while you work toward unlocking the farming technology.

Organizing Your Production Bases

Once you have the farming technology unlocked, organize your operations like this:

Your Mining and Production Base

Create a dedicated base for resource production. A well-organized production base might include:

Wood production in one area

Ore farming in another section

Stone production in a separate zone

Keep this base focused purely on material production — nothing else.

Your Food Production Base

Maintain a completely separate base dedicated to food production and farming. This clear division of labor makes management much easier and ensures your Pals can be optimally assigned to their specialized tasks.

Summary

Ore farming in Palworld is all about planning and organization. Unlock mining sites through the technology tree as you level up, create a dedicated production base separate from your main base, and keep resource production isolated from other operations like food farming. This systematic approach ensures smooth, efficient automation of your ore collection and processing.
