It won’t be long in your gameplay journey before Ingots become an essential crafting component in Palworld. The primary item needed to make these Ingots is Ore which is obtained from various areas of the Palpagos map.
Right from the start of the game, you will keep getting raw Ore from rocky areas. As the game progresses and your level increases, you will need more and more Ore to meet your resource-farming requirements. This will only be possible if you know all the ways to get and farm ore in Palworld.
How to get Ore in Palworld?
The Palworld map is full of Ore deposits. You can differentiate these from other rocks and boulders by the shiny copper coloring. The good news is that Ore, like any other resource, will respawn after 24 hours of in-game time.
The only equipment you need to get Ore is a melee weapon. Once you spot an Ore deposit, hit it with your weapon of choice to get things done.
The best weapon to use for Ore farming is pickaxe, as it speeds up the process to a certain extent. A higher-tier pickaxe will do it even faster, making it possible to get to the next deposits quickly.
Best locations to farm Ore in Palworld
While Ore is accessible in almost all areas on the Palpagos map, some places just have it in excess amounts. It’s always a good idea to build your base near some Ore boulders so that you never get low on your metal armor, weapons, or high-tier Pal Spheres. Below are a couple of locations that we recommend to farm Ore in Palworld.
Desolate Church (70, -407)
The first location where you can get Ore is directly behind the Desolate Church fast travel point. This area contains more than five Ore deposits, which is enough considering you will probably reach it in the early hours of your gameplay.
Although it is not the best spot to set up your base if we talk about defenses and resources. However, if you involve the church and utilize the giant rock on the Cliffside, the defenses can be sufficiently made stronger.
Fort Ruins (156, -390)
The second location where you should mine Ore is just west of the Fort Ruins fast travel point. This is a pretty small mountain area with little room to build structures on it. However, it offers nearly eight deposits and has protective cliffs all around, making it a perfect spot for your base.
How to build an automated Ore Farm in Palworld
There is a way to create an automated Ore Farm in Palworld, which allows you to free up time and explore other aspects of the game. You will essentially be using your Pals to produce a healthy amount of Ore automatically.
You first need an appropriate location for your Ore Farm. Choose one that has an adequate amount of Ore rocks in its vicinity (such as the locations that we just covered above).
Lay down a Palbox and a wooden chest to start your base. Place the wooden chest strategically as close to the Palbox as possible to allow for seamless transportation between your multiple bases.
Now, you need to put down beds and feedboxes to ensure that your Pals are adequately rested and fed. These components are crucial for the efficiency and productivity of your Pals.
You will now add Pals on your base that possess a mining attribute; the best options are Tombat, Digtoise, and Dumud. Remember to place one Pal with the Transportation trait, such as Cattiva, so that the harvested Ore can be easily transferred to your chest.
To truly create a sustainable and automated ore farm in Palworld, install a Berry Plantation and a Hot Spring on your farm. The Berry Plantation will make the farm self-sustainable by providing a steady food supply and you won’t have to intervene manually to fill up the feedboxes.
These amenities will maintain your Pal’s happiness and sanity and will lead to high productivity levels.
