Establishing dedicated mining bases in Palworld 1.0 is crucial for ensuring a steady supply of essential resources. The optimal locations depend on player needs, offering strategic advantages for resource acquisition.
Best Ore Mining Base
The premier location for an Ore mining base is situated near the Desolate Church in Windswept Hills, at coordinates (70, -405). This area is conveniently close to the Desolate Church fast travel point for efficient transit. Its primary advantage lies in the abundance of Ore deposits, allowing for focused construction around these nodes. The terrain is flat and suitable for early-game base building, providing a consistent source of a material vital for progression.
Alternatively, the Ore Mining Site, unlocked at Technology Tier 24, can be built within any existing base to passively generate Ore, negating the need for a dedicated outpost.
Best Sulfur Mining Base
For Sulfur extraction, the west side of Mount Obsidian offers a prime location at (-743, -449). Nestled between two small lava pools and south of the Alpha Blazamut Ryu spawn, this site is accessible via the Beach of Everlasting Summer fast travel point. Players will require heat resistance to operate effectively here. While the lava pools may limit the size of the base, a dedicated Sulfur focus yields significant results.
The Sulfur Quarry, available at Technology Tier 46, provides a method for regular Sulfur acquisition without dedicating a separate base.
Best Pure Quartz Mining Base
East of the Pristine Snowfield in the Astral Mountains, at coordinates (-202, 253), lies an ideal location for a Pure Quartz mining base. This elevated, flat area boasts several large Pure Quartz deposits. Players will need sufficient cold resistance to establish and operate here. A notable challenge is the presence of a Level 30 or higher Pal that must be dealt with before building. The site’s elevated position offers defensive advantages against raids.
The Pure Quartz Quarry, unlocked at Technology Tier 52, allows for consistent Pure Quartz gathering within any established base.
Best Coal Mining Base
A recommended spot for a Coal mining base is southwest of the Bamboo Groves Watchtower, at coordinates (-236, -378). This secluded, flat area features multiple Coal Ore deposits along with other useful resources. Its position on a peak enhances defensibility, and Relaxaurus Pals are often found nearby.
Players can unlock the Coal Quarry at Technology Tier 42 to mine Coal regularly within any base.
Best Hexolite Mining Base
Near Silent Lake on Feybreak Island, at coordinates (-1202, -1496), is a prime location for a Hexolite mining base. This area requires significant cold resistance, though in-base items and Pals can mitigate the cold. The terrain near the fast travel point is relatively flat, offering multiple Hexolite nodes. Positioning the base with a cliff edge behind provides an easily defensible setup.
The Hexolite Quartz Quarry, available at Technology Tier 61, enables consistent Hexolite Quartz collection.
Best Soralite Mining Base
For Soralite acquisition, the area near Waterlily Gorge on the Sunreach sky islands, at coordinates (-530, -1499), is highly recommended. Reaching this location initially requires a stamina-rich Flying Mount, and activating the Waterlily Gorge fast travel point is advisable for return trips. Multiple Soralite nodes are available, but the high-level surrounding Pals necessitate a well-established base with strong Pals. Soralite is most valuable in the late stages of the game.
The Soralite Quarry, unlocked at Technology Tier 72, facilitates regular Soralite Quartz harvesting.
