How To Mine Ore At A Mining Site In Palworld

Palworld has released April 2024 with v0.2.0.6, which brings a lot of new items, features, and such. The update also introduced a new ore mining site for players to use. There are indeed several challenges that you must overcome to build an ore mining site. It’s an amazing thing, but it requires initial investment plans for resource gathering according to your preference for a self-sustaining ore production system. Today in this article, we will be sharing a guide on how you can unlock and build this site. Here are the instructions mentioned below.

Pre-Requirements for the Ore Mining Site

There are a few things that you need to understand to unlock the Ore Mining Site, including the resource requirements for both the basic and upgraded versions. Before you begin, players require a minimum mining skill level of 2.

• You need to reach Level 15 to build the ore-generating structure in the Ancient Technology Tree.
• Players also need to look for Pal Suitability. Assigning these Pals to the ore mining site for automatic ore collection would be helpful.
• The Ore Mining Site II, which is 2x the standard variant, is where you need to collect various resources, which include 50 stones, 25 ingots, and 20 palladium fragments.

The Ancient Technology points are crucial for unlocking technologies like the Ore Mining Site, and in addition to these Alpha Pals, challenging Ave and Tower Bosses allows players to yield Ancient Technology Points.

How to Unlock the Ore Mining Site

• You can head over to the Technology Tab, where you will find all the research options.
• Basic Ore Mining Site:
  • Unlocked at Level 15
  • Requires two ancient technology points.
• Advanced Ore Mining Site:
  • Unlocked at Level 31
  • Requires three ancient technology points.
• After that, you need to spend 2 Ancient Technology Points on the Ore Mining Site in the Ancient Technology Section to acquire the blueprint for the Ore Mining Site.

After you have the blueprint unlocked, the gatekeeper needs the materials to build the actual structure in your base. Below, we have shared a guide on unlocking the ore mining site. Here are the step-by-step instructions mentioned below.

1. Once you reach Level 15, head over to the Technology Tab.
2. Now you have to spend two Ancient Technology points, for which you have to defeat the boss for more points, like the Alpha Pals, and by learning the Syndicate Tower.
3. Then simply find the ore mining sites; the specific options labeled “Ore Mining Sites.”
4. Now, use the two ancient technology points to unlock the blueprint.

If you don’t have two ancient technology points, you can get them by defeating bosses like the Alpha Pals and learning about the Syndicate Tower. Further, you have larger Ore Mining Site variants that can be unlocked at Level 31 for 3 ancient technology points.

How to Build an Ore Mining Site

You need to ensure that the advanced ore mining site allows for mining larger quantities of ore for a valuable upgrade after you reach Level 31.

• Start by heading over to your base.
• Basic Ore Mining Site:
  • It requires 50 stones, 25 ingots, and 20 palladium fragments.
• Advanced Ore Mining Site:
  • It requires 100 stones, 50 ingots, and 40 palladium fragments.
• Then you have to build an ore mining site using the resources you have collected.

I recommend players have a pickaxe, a higher-tier pickaxe to farm it faster, but the farm or even with the starter pickaxe. Investing in craft, which has become available to increase the amount of PerSwing and made manual mining more efficient.

1. Now open the Build Menu, where you can construct structures in the base.
2. Then locate the ore mining site that appears under the Production tab (under a subcategory like mining).
3. After that, choose a suitable location for your base and place it on the ore mining site.
4. Now start construction by holding down the designated button to initiate construction.

Further, consider setting up a temporary base near concentrated ore that, despite that, allows your pals to gather ore passively while you focus on other tasks. Assign pals with high mining skills to the ore mining site for optimal efficiency. There is a larger and potentially more efficient Ore Mining Site II that is available at Level 1, but the basic version is always a better starting point.

The Best Pals for Ore Mining

It’s crucial for efficient ore farming in Palworld. When choosing Pals for ore farming, do consider a specialization in mining for optimal efficiency. Pals with at least Level 2 mining skills are needed for ore farming.

• Digtoise: It is generally found in the Central Desert Area, which is an ideal choice for having mining capabilities.
• Parking: Level 2 Mining with many other skills and getting distracted.

Having pals like the Cattiva or Broncherry is beneficial as they can increase carry capacity and allow for more ore at a time. Indeed, it’s useful if you have decided to move further without setting up camp near the desert. We are going to discuss the location that is more convenient but also efficient for you, depending on your current location, level, and resources.
