Iron in Pal world - a valuable resource necessary for creating many items and buildings on basis. In addition to the usual stone or Palsium fragments It is necessary to extract metal ore, which cannot be dispensed with when melting ingots: ordinary and refined. With their help, you can craft stronger protective walls and master new recipes, for example, durable armor and firearms.
In this guide, we will look at how to mine metal in Palworld and make ingots from ore, how to craft a pickaxe, and what deposits to dig to obtain resources for further smelting in a furnace and construction.
Mining ore in Palworld
Ore is a common material that can be obtained in the open world by mining large brown и gray deposits. Ore rocks come in a variety of colors and speckles, but the metal in Palworld stands out against the smooth texture of regular stone or the blue veins of palsium, casting a rich copper tint.
Most fossils can be found in caves. Please note that iron ore weighs a lot and it will be difficult for a character with a small carrying capacity to carry all the loot. Upgrade your stats or bring a Cattiva with you, which increases the wearer's carry weight if it's handy.
In desperate situations, you can break the ore even with your bare fists, but it’s better to spend money and do it at the start stone pickaxe, and as technology advances and learns, switch to stronger and more durable tools.
Which pits mine ore?
In addition, the iron mining process can be automated: set up a base near a large concentration of metal ore deposits and, using Containers for firewood, place companions with a working skill in the settlement "mining". Here are just a few creatures that are perfect for this:
- Cattiva;
- Pengqing;
- Depresso;
- Rashoa;
- Fuddler;
- Incineers;
- Dumad;
- Anubis.
To ensure that resources are not left lying unattended on the ground, you will also need companions with the skill "transportation" sort of Lambolla и Tanzi — they will put all the received items into chests.
In a separate article we talked about the best locations to build a base.
Craft a Pickaxe
Initially, 4 starting tools are available, including stone pickaxe — it belongs to the 1st level of technology and is necessary for the rapid extraction of ores.
To craft equipment, first build primitive workbench - collect 2 units wood and open the construction menu button "B". In the “Production” section, find the building you need and build it in any convenient place by holding "F" key.
Open the workbench menu and select a stone pickaxe to craft it from the following materials:
Both resources can be simply picked up from the ground - small branches and stones are scattered everywhere in the open world, or you can slightly beat up a tree and a gray deposit.
Hold "F" buttonuntil the tool is created, and then click again "F"to put the item into inventory. To equip a pickaxe, open the backpack "TAB" key and put it in a category "Weapon", where you can quickly switch between other items in your hand.
In a separate guide, how to make all types of pickaxes.
How to mine metal in Palworld
Metal ore in Palworld, obtained from deposits, is needed for smelting 2 types of ingots - metal and refined metal. To process the collected fossils, you need to acquire a special furnace and Palami that will work on it.
Build a mine
If there is no ore deposit nearby, it is much easier to build on the base mine, where Pals with the “mining” skill will be able to mine metal ore. The building opens for 2 points ancient technologies at level 15, and for its construction you need:
- Stone ×50;
- Metal ingot ×25.
- Palsium Shard ×20.
Place a chest next to the mine and assign workers who will dig and transport the ore to the storage facility. This will greatly simplify further development: you won’t have to look for a separate place with deposits to set up a base or run through caves for metal.
At level 31 you can unlock it for 3 points of ancient technologies mine II - a large improved building where you can mine much more iron. What resources will be needed for its construction:
- Stone ×100;
- Metal ingot ×50.
- Palsium Shard ×40.
Create an oven
Unlock the recipe primitive stove in the “Technology” section when you reach level 10, and collect the following resources for it:
The Flame Organ can be obtained by killing or catching some Fire-type Pals - these are best suited for this Foxparks or Ruby, which are easy to find and defeat even at the start.
Once prepared, build a structure on the base in the same way as a primitive workbench, and proceed to the process of smelting metal.
How to create metal
Interact with the stove to open the menu and select from the general list "Metal Ingot" — to create one unit you will need 2 metal ores.
You won't be able to craft ingots yourself - only Pals can work with the furnace. Therefore, change the composition of your database using Container for Palov, and place companions with the work skill in the settlement "starting a fire". For example, the same Foxparks и Ruby, which were caught for plasmatic organs.
When your companions finish processing the ore, take the ingots from the furnace - the pets themselves will not drag them through the chests.
How to make Refined Metal Ingots in Palworld
Iron mining is also necessary to obtain refined metal in Palworld - it is higher quality and durable, useful for creating powerful weapons and high-tech buildings, for example, a double-barreled shotgun and an electric kitchen.
To create such ingots, unlock the crafting recipe improved oven in the “Technology” section, upon reaching level 34. Install it on the base using the following resources:
- Stone ×100;
- Cement ×30;
- Plameter organ ×15.
You can make cement only on a high-quality workbench from stones, bones and bodily fluid Palov.
Go to the furnace menu and select creation refined metal ingots — for one unit of such a resource you will need 2 types of minerals:
- Metal ore ×2;
- Coal ×2.
An improved oven is no different from a primitive one - after loading all the materials, place it there fiery Pal, which can be engaged in ignition, and wait until it finishes. Take the resulting ingots and use them for new crafting recipes. To begin with, we recommend making the best pickaxe made of refined metalto facilitate the extraction of the following ores.
We hope that the guide helped you learn how to mine iron in Palworld and make metal ingots. If you have any difficulties, ask questions at comments, we will definitely answer and try to help. Read also other Palworld guides in the relevant section of our website.
Iron can only be mined by Palas with resource mining level 2, so keep this in mind if you're building a base with mining. Also, the mine is now at level 23, up from level 15.
