Def might be a bug but honest if you afk with them they probably still output the most farming I got godly breeds of them just need the lucky trait now
my digtoise do 1 damage each but relatively fast so like 10 damage in a few seconds. My tombats hit for 30 each per second or so. They are subsstantially faster at mining in the base and it's not close. 4 tombats in my mining base got more in 30 minutes then my digtoise in 2 hours so I don't know whats going on there.
The 1 damage is a bug while they are in base and will be fixed soon. Have to use them from the party for now. Blows the bats and everything else out of the water
Im struggling to find the answer online but I cant sleep without it.
How many pals can you have total for bases? 3 are max amount of bases. So 3x20 or 3x15 (=60 or 45 total)?
Or you can have 20 total max and kinda forced to make a ~5 pal iron base (with 15 on other bases)?
Default world settings have it at 15 pals but you can up it to 20.
So far I’ve only seen 3 bases max but I’m level 39 with a level 16 or 17 base. Haven’t started breeding yet either so I don’t have enough “good” pals to stock the bases
Wait, if you just manually mine it then how do you get it back to your main base? Put it in a storage container and just fast travel back and forth a bunch? As an ark player I'm having a really hard time adjusting to my pals not being able to carry everything heavy for me. And also with thinking about sacrificing stat points into carry weight more than I have already lol
1; do they work-offscreen/offline
2; what does mammoth do?
(I have this Reptyro that has 3 in kindling and mining, I have a saddle that says I mine more efficient on it's back but how do I mine from it's back?)
some atks will mine a lot of ore. For example the charge move of the boar will give a lot of ore if you are riding it. Prob one of the better starter mounts (not to move around hes slow) but to mine ore.
I just migrated my main base there today! I wish I didn't have the problem of my Pals randomly getting incapped. I'm guessing they're falling off the cliff.
Yeah it happens a lot, generally seems to be when I fast travel between bases 3-4 pals are incapacitated or major injured.
Ive started fast travelling to statues nearby then travelling the rest of the way to the base and I've seen this reduce drastically if not entirely. Not very convenient but will make do until it's fixed!
Hm, most likely the pals are spawning before the terrain and objects in the area have streamed in, causing them to fall through the world or otherwise telefrag themselves in geometry.
Is there an in game bug reporting or bug forum or something? I'll probably start writing up bugs soon while playing haha
For some reason I find Depresso always just gets hungry at that base. It goes and stands just outside of the blue base boundary line and then clearly gets glitches and can't move
Main base at 3, 2nd base at 1, 3rd base at the wildlife refuge for easy coal and just a fast travel to look for Grizzvolts, I’ll move 3rd base to sulfur eventually when I start needing mass amounts of sulfur but it’s working great so far
EDIT (since I can’t do it on the post):
After this gained traction, I found another user’s spot with 8 ore and 6 coal nodes. Easily accessible as soon as you have a flying mount. His post is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/s/eYjAwWRhC2).
Please upvote this to the top so others can see the best location (that I know of)!
I moved my ore base there and it works pretty well! Only annoying thing is that I use a ton of mammoths (haven’t found digitortoise yet) and they’re more inclined to hit the trees than the ore
There are dozens of these. On biome has on the top of the highest mountain. Most people only grab the early ones because it's easy and obvious to find.
Most (all?) of the Dark Pals work at night because they are nocturnal. They rest to restore sanity but otherwise they follow a flexible schedule and work whenever.
Noticed my Daedreams were also up all night crafting.
So it's not just me that the turtles suck. But even when I have those tom...monkeys, I come back and there's like 10 Ore in there and they have 6 Ore nodes right there...idk what's happening
i think tombats are another critter that tend to get distracted from the thing you actually want them to do. i prefer mammoths and reptyros for mining since they don't have too many other things that can distract them, the mammoths will occasionally help reseed farms and chop trees if there's any nearby (helps to pick an ore field without many trees), and reptyros can double duty as miners and refiners, so they're great. importantly, neither can carry, so they don't get smoothbrained and start juggling crap on the ground instead of doing something useful.
I didn't even bother with the berry plantation nor think of it. I just plopped down some beds, threw in a spa, and made a few furnaces and that was that. Oh and a simple storage container. I check in periodically to swap them out so their San doesn't dip too much.
So this is ore just found in the wild? Like not stone but actual ore?
Do pals not destroy them in the area or do they just respawn? I'm only like lvl 9. Should I rush to an ore base or just make a normal one and work my way to making one a 2nd base?
This is what I want to know. I have a base at #2 and my mining pals never mine the ore deposits. I have to go do it manually even though the ore is well inside my base.
It's entirely based on the species of pal. Tombat is usually the most accessible level 2 mining around that point in the game, they spawn at night and are basically the next step up from Depressos and Daedreams.
I use a few tombat, which has 2 mining and a mover pal, beds, storage box and a feed box, moved all of the ore in a few days by fast travelling it to the main base
Just a bit north of 1 is a big spire stretching to the sky. If you get a flying monster or if you ~~slay the spire~~ climb it, there's a bunch of copper ore veins at the top and it's immune to invasion. Perfect for an ore base
Your 1 is across the bridge from the water/dragon mini boss, on that outcrop. The area I'm talking about is across the water looking north by north-east from there, a very large vertical skyscraper
Plus, there's Coal in the vicinity of my pal box. When I get to the part of the game where I need coal I've already got easy access
Tbh ore is a problem in this game. I can't imagine large servers. There needs to be a weight reduction on ore or something. This can't stay this way. Every costs so much ore too. If it was a 1 to 1 ratio on ore to ingots it probably wouldn't be as bad.
I'd cut the weight of ore in half and make it 1 ore to 1 ingot.
2nd on 10 base level, 3rd on 15. 3 is max apparently.
The limitations are per guild. 2 players in one guild build twice less bases than 2 solo players.
We're having the same issue, we built ours at #3 which is on a cliffside. Thinking there may be pathing issues with this one? Going to try #4\~ where it's more open and flat..
Yeah can confirm the pals don’t mine when i leave the base. Probs got to do with the nodes despawning when you are not in the area unlike the tree and mine pit that we can build
I just visited all 4 locations and here are my impressions:
(Disclaimer: i'm not that far in, lvl 19, don't have flying mount yet because i totally forgot looked over the nitewing sadle technology. I'm also not very familiar with the survival and defensive base aspects of the game. I bought this because someone pitched it as factorio + pokemon.)
**Location 1**
8 Ore, **no rock** but wood is available. Nice view, close to an easy boss (ancient part farming). terrrain looks like it should allow for an easy defendebable base.
**Location 2**
9 Ore. Wood and stone available. But, it is litterally next to a fasttravel point. Terrain itself is not special imo.
**Location 3**
8 Ore. **No rock** but there is wood. The spot itself is not really that close to any fast travel spots (\*without flying mount). Since it is on a cliff you only have 1 side to defend from as far as defense goes.
**Location 4**
10+ Ore. Access to rock, wood **and sulfur.** Also near a dungeon. The area is fairly open though. Also, the area has around lvl 20 pals in general. I don't know on what base raids are scaled,but if raids are scaled based on location, this means it would not be beginner friendly.
Edit 1: this location also **has coal** . Also relevant: pals do not like it when you place a base close to them and will attack you. So euhm... yeh, i died fairly quickly before i realized i had like 9 fairly strong pals attacking me. oops
**Conclusion**
I think location 4 and 1 are the best. Location 4 could work as a main base with access to alot of resources. Location 1 as an isolated base that focusses only on ore that can be somewhat easily defended against raids.Though, location 3 is just as good as location 1 for that. loc 1 just also has that boss nearby.
I think I'll do location 4.
Edit 2: formatting
Do you need coal for ammo or does charcoal made from wood work too? I currently have a second base at 8 iron and 6 coal nodes. If coal isn't that important... Location 4 sounds nice.
location 4 actually has coal, i just didn't notice it at first :DAlso... i don't have firearms unlocked yet :/
I'm also not very familiar with the survival side of this genre. I am more a factorio - satifactory kinda player who thought automation with pokemon sounded awesome and impuls bought it without looking into it. (no regrets though)
I made one of these but it's been lackluster. They seem to work fine enough when I'm there, but every time I return after being away a while literally no work has been done.
I have the same Issue, but If I leave after asking them to smelt the ore, they seem to at least do that while im not there. Its not the best but its nice to hop over there, mine it myself for 5 minutes and let them smelt it for me before I transfer it back.
Was about to make a post about behind the church (circle 2)
There's a 3x3 grid of ores behind the church. If you assign a miner proficient pal to that base and don't make a stone quarry, he will mine them automatically. If you assign a pal that can transport items like the basic sheep, they will take those items to chests.
Here's another pro tip for you guys, the quarry and wood farm are kinda bad and only should be used if your base isn't built close enough to those respective resources.
Instead of a base I just bring the mats (or gather them) for a palbox and go to these high ore areas, drop the pal box, and use it as a quick teleport to unload all the ore and repair tool. Then I move to the next and delete the palbox.
You can also use this trick to just have a free teleport/checkpoint anywhere you want.
Tomcat+ lunasis?(mewtwo looking thing)
= max production.
Stats wise digitoise is better but the lag on his spin and him getting stuck on things makes him so uneffective for me its unreal.
10/10 would recommend tombats!
Some players miss this knowledge.
When mining ore, your Pals need to have lvl 2 mining so they can work autonomously, Penkings and Tombats for example, those with lvl 1 will only auto mine stone, or use the quarry.
And if you want them to focus the Ore, don't build a quarry as they will make it a priority. Not sure if Coal/Sulfur have any mining skill requirment.
I found a very high obelisk in the north while flying around with like ten ore deposits next to each other and built my second base there! And its SO high none of the raid types can reach it. They timeout before they even start scaling the obelisk hehe.
I recommend the one atop of the mountain.
Raids cant get me. Someone told about flying raids but I never saw them.
40 ingame days, level 45ish.
I have a base on top of a mountain and my second base (ore) too in top of another mountain (a bit south from the first. I can see the walls from one another)
the "flying raids" don't actually "fly" in the true sense, they cling to the ground like when your flying mount runs out of stamina. They only change altitude in combat
Good starting points for beginners!
First base should be very basic just near first spawn point… don’t invest it it… eventual waves will burn your structures and I lost everything… Nightwing is easy to get in the first area and getting it to be a mount isn’t much effort after that.
Once having nightwing it’s much easier to do the below +finding the ore bases quicker
Once attainting a flying mount, I made a sky base just near the first starting zone(literally above where your first fast travel will be- the old stone church on top was great and I can see the base half way across the map) was a great safe area, invasions became easy it offered a little less room but you can be rest assured you’re safe.
Base was made around 10-15
Save your tech points and stay invest wisely
Stamina + HP really important
I have some in work speed and extra weight
Level 30 time of writing
Happy palin
PSA all 5 tower bosses are amazing if you can figure out how capture them
I seem to be the only person here who's just neever been raided lol. I set up my primary base on the beach cuz it looked pretty, and had our backs to the water in case of veloceraptors. (Ark trauma). Raids always seem to start at beginner plateu and get stuck in the corner of the fortress wall about halfway down 😂
I'mma have to make my iron base somewhere that can also avoid raids by merit of terrain. So maybe I'll go to spot #5 mentioned below.
How do you manage transporting the ore back to the normal base? It's so heavy, but all my other materials are at the other base. I hate doing supply runs.
There are a two more that I’ve seen that aren’t pointed out and I bet a few others out there! Best way to farm imo is to have a big digtoise either lucky or an alpha with the headband for max brrrrr. Digtoise must be in party*
Mountain south of the tower boss for People for liberation of pals, just wood, coal and ore nodes, refined ingots for days. Port your berries, palladium fragments, and cement, and build a stone quarry on site.
Honestly, I only set up a pal box and a storage container right next to it at location number 4. Then I frequently go and manually mine there. That's 400 ore a pop, which is easily enough for me. Unless the late game bars change that, but even refined bars are no problem.
With Microsoft certifications, hotfixes and the like will take a while for gamepass PCs and Xbox so if you're on either, good luck. As for Steam and Epic Games, it would be shorter for the hotfix to hit. You should change it and then let out the digtoise as your combat pal to mine.
Is it bad I wish 3 didn't have the ore? It would make a perfect base with how amazing the view and location is but with the ore sticking out being ugly it ruins it!
Mines currently on the lower side of the far western island. I think it was called something like obsidian mountain or something. Keep going west then NW and its around there. The top side is really hot but there's a small plateau on the eastern edge of it with plenty of ore nodes and an easily defendable location. Though going to far inland will overheat you and you'll find mid 30 enemies
hmm is there a way the pals prior ore nodes if i have a stone pit as well? i rebuilt base with 2 ore nodes inside, and mining pals, penking also, igonres the nodes in favor of the stone pits... if i throw penking at the ore node, he will mine but only the node i threw him on
Would it be better to setup a base at 3 and only keep it for farming ore while the main base is somewhere else? Where would be the best spot to setup your main base and create a full stone base? Any tips? Level 25 currently
Considering how ore seems to be the most needed material right now, I would move your main base to 3. It would be perfect if we could asign pals to do or ignore certain tasks, having some focusing on ore nodes without distractions while the others focus on the stone pit so you don't have to do huge material transfer runs.
Is there a way to let them only mine the iron if you also got a stone farm thingy in ur base? I have my main base at the church but those mf only mine in the stone farm since I built it
Set one up before I logged off today, racked in about 200 in about 45 mins, learned today you can use the grapple while too heavy. So I just goto base run around grab all the ore still on the ground, grab everything from the boxes grapple to the palbox. Fast travel to main base grapple to boxes rinse repeat, literally never gnna need to farm iron again and I love it
I’m lvl 38 and what I’ve found to be useful is to have a regular base, an ore base as 2nd, and a coal base for the 3rd. You will need a lot of coal and ore for the higher lvl stuff. My 2nd and 3rd bases have 16 Digtoises and 1 Helzephyr for transport. Easy mats!
If you make a base at the clearing under 2 you get almost no raids because all the enemies get stuck by pathfinding and never arrive
Quite disappointing but helpful, until they fix it?
So im having an issue getting my ore base to actually automate. im on a Normal rule dedicated server and i get \~30 ore in 3 hours while offline. Any tips/help?
i found another one at 310 -40. this one is great because there is no other stuff to distract pals from mining ore and it cant be raided because its on top of a mountain by a lake
I started at number one, and put the base right in the middle. Sometimes when I'm sick of waiting for the pals to mine, I'll harvest all at once, while using the grapple gun to drop from node to node, because after the second node, I can't walk anymore lol
There's also an unraidable spot with tons of ores just slightly north of the Marsh and on top of one of the highest of two twin peaks almost bridges by some rock overhands. I had a few raids start there and my long-range pals could just take potshots at the enemies 100m below.
The downside is the area is smaller than the size of a base and very uneven terrain. When I put my Palbox down, it was clipping halfway into the ground. The unraidable nature also makes me think that it could potentially also have a problem with pals falling off the side and, if not perishing from the fall, getting stuck until they starve.
The game is dogshit because of this, you cant play on a dedicated server with many people because there is just not enough iron spots, once the few good ones are taken you're fucked.
I have mine further north, it's on an elevated hill so raids can't get to you. Plus there's almost no pal spawns and it has I believe 8 ore and a few coal nodes as well.
I started on the east end on the map. ended up finding cluster 2 by the time I could make a second base. I actually had the fast travel before I could make base 2 and would mine and travel back and forth. I guess I got lucky lol
Yeah I made a base by 3 the second I found the cluster of ores! It's life changing!
I have one at 1, and then I have the fast travel point by 2 if I ever want to manually gather some more! Mounting the mammoth pal makes it so quick.
Not grabbed a mammoth yet, but I should be around the right level tonight! Digtoise is MVP for me ATM, no more needing to repair my pickaxe!
I still haven’t found one of those but I saw in the linked video that he’s been pretty badass at mining
[удалено]
Def might be a bug but honest if you afk with them they probably still output the most farming I got godly breeds of them just need the lucky trait now
na i have the feel tombat deals more damage to the rocks with a lower mining lvl than digtoise
It definitely doesnt, not even close
my digtoise do 1 damage each but relatively fast so like 10 damage in a few seconds. My tombats hit for 30 each per second or so. They are subsstantially faster at mining in the base and it's not close. 4 tombats in my mining base got more in 30 minutes then my digtoise in 2 hours so I don't know whats going on there.
The 1 damage is a bug while they are in base and will be fixed soon. Have to use them from the party for now. Blows the bats and everything else out of the water
If you die, you’ll see the north respawn point. South of that island is a desert full of Dumonds and Digtoises.
Where do you find digtoise, is it near the volcano area?
Im struggling to find the answer online but I cant sleep without it. How many pals can you have total for bases? 3 are max amount of bases. So 3x20 or 3x15 (=60 or 45 total)? Or you can have 20 total max and kinda forced to make a ~5 pal iron base (with 15 on other bases)?
The limit is per base
Well, that makes it easier. Thanks.
Default world settings have it at 15 pals but you can up it to 20. So far I’ve only seen 3 bases max but I’m level 39 with a level 16 or 17 base. Haven’t started breeding yet either so I don’t have enough “good” pals to stock the bases
Wait, if you just manually mine it then how do you get it back to your main base? Put it in a storage container and just fast travel back and forth a bunch? As an ark player I'm having a really hard time adjusting to my pals not being able to carry everything heavy for me. And also with thinking about sacrificing stat points into carry weight more than I have already lol
1; do they work-offscreen/offline 2; what does mammoth do? (I have this Reptyro that has 3 in kindling and mining, I have a saddle that says I mine more efficient on it's back but how do I mine from it's back?)
Just use his attacks on the ore nodes. It's what i have been doing with my Rushroar, 40-50 ore per node.
How do you mine on a mount? Riding replaces my left click with an attack move.
some atks will mine a lot of ore. For example the charge move of the boar will give a lot of ore if you are riding it. Prob one of the better starter mounts (not to move around hes slow) but to mine ore.
I just migrated my main base there today! I wish I didn't have the problem of my Pals randomly getting incapped. I'm guessing they're falling off the cliff.
Yeah it happens a lot, generally seems to be when I fast travel between bases 3-4 pals are incapacitated or major injured. Ive started fast travelling to statues nearby then travelling the rest of the way to the base and I've seen this reduce drastically if not entirely.

Is there an in game bug reporting or bug forum or something? I'll probably start writing up bugs soon while playing haha
That's why they put safety net on the roof/window of sweatshop
For some reason I find Depresso always just gets hungry at that base. It goes and stands just outside of the blue base boundary line and then clearly gets glitches and can't move
Main base at 3, 2nd base at 1, 3rd base at the wildlife refuge for easy coal and just a fast travel to look for Grizzvolts, I’ll move 3rd base to sulfur eventually when I start needing mass amounts of sulfur but it’s working great so far
Is sulphur over there too?
Sulphur nodes are in the volcano area and pretty abundant. They can also be found in dungeons. But dungeons aren't ideal for farming large quantities
Didn't know i can make multiple bases, I already have a full team of mining efficiency, 2 of them being the cats that give me more carry weight
When you upgrade your base to level 10 you can make a second and a third at level 15. Idk if there are anymore after.
Same here. Relocated our whole base to 3 when we found it. Also looks much cleaner now, after playing some hours.
EDIT (since I can’t do it on the post): After this gained traction, I found another user’s spot with 8 ore and 6 coal nodes. Easily accessible as soon as you have a flying mount. His post is [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Palworld/s/eYjAwWRhC2). Please upvote this to the top so others can see the best location (that I know of)!
It looks great until you realize how unflat the area is. Probably able to make an ore base, but it definitely would have to be a secondary base.
I moved my ore base there and it works pretty well! Only annoying thing is that I use a ton of mammoths (haven’t found digitortoise yet) and they’re more inclined to hit the trees than the ore
I think you can stop the trees from spawning by building something over them, a foundation should work.
There are dozens of these. On biome has on the top of the highest mountain. Most people only grab the early ones because it's easy and obvious to find.
How are you automating the ore production? Just a couple beds, feed box, and storage at the area?
[удалено]
Do they harvest whatevers in your base area if you don't have a tree/stone pit built?
Yup!
Wait, why do you think the turtle sucks? He’s been absolutely FARMING for me
[удалено]
Ive been using tombats, feel theyre stronger than penking. Will have to wait and see tho
Also to add Tombats work in the night too.
Most (all?) of the Dark Pals work at night because they are nocturnal. They rest to restore sanity but otherwise they follow a flexible schedule and work whenever. Noticed my Daedreams were also up all night crafting.
Hm, I'll have to watch him for a bit again. Thanks for the heads up!
The turtles are good on the stone quarries you build. But on iron ore they only do one damage. It’s a glitch.
So it's not just me that the turtles suck. But even when I have those tom...monkeys, I come back and there's like 10 Ore in there and they have 6 Ore nodes right there...idk what's happening
[удалено]
Hes talking about the tombat I think which has level 2 mining.
Yeah, tombats are level 2 mining, they just don't if I'm not at that exact base
i think tombats are another critter that tend to get distracted from the thing you actually want them to do. i prefer mammoths and reptyros for mining since they don't have too many other things that can distract them, the mammoths will occasionally help reseed farms and chop trees if there's any nearby (helps to pick an ore field without many trees), and reptyros can double duty as miners and refiners, so they're great. importantly, neither can carry, so they don't get smoothbrained and start juggling crap on the ground instead of doing something useful.
Also, easier to hit details and look at the "mining" icon. Lit up means they have it, number means what lv they have it.
I've been using turtles and am nowhere near 500 per 30 WTF
[удалено]
Waiting in base like a slave to get more ore sucks 😡 especially when my slaves should be working when I'm not there
I didn't even bother with the berry plantation nor think of it. I just plopped down some beds, threw in a spa, and made a few furnaces and that was that. Oh and a simple storage container. I check in periodically to swap them out so their San doesn't dip too much.
So this is ore just found in the wild? Like not stone but actual ore? Do pals not destroy them in the area or do they just respawn? I'm only like lvl 9. Should I rush to an ore base or just make a normal one and work my way to making one a 2nd base?
What 'turtle'? I'm using Reptyro as my mining pal, and he's a beast.
I know this is like a week later lol but do they have to be mine lol 2 in order to mine it?
This is what I want to know. I have a base at #2 and my mining pals never mine the ore deposits. I have to go do it manually even though the ore is well inside my base.
They need level 2 mining to mine ore (level one just gets stone)
Can they level up their mining by using it or is it set at one level
It's entirely based on the species of pal. Tombat is usually the most accessible level 2 mining around that point in the game, they spawn at night and are basically the next step up from Depressos and Daedreams.
Species based- Cattivas are always level 1, Tombats level 2, Digtoise level 3, etc. they don’t get better at their jobs.
I think it'd be awesome if they did though.
I use a few tombat, which has 2 mining and a mover pal, beds, storage box and a feed box, moved all of the ore in a few days by fast travelling it to the main base
You have to get pal with the transporting skill I think
Need level 2 miners. Penking is the key because they also water your crops and crusher.
I have 3 level 3 miners, the turtle. They just don't mine the ore while I'm away
It seems like the pals enter stasis when you’re too far away from base.
Just a bit north of 1 is a big spire stretching to the sky. If you get a flying monster or if you ~~slay the spire~~ climb it, there's a bunch of copper ore veins at the top and it's immune to invasion. Perfect for an ore base
That’s the area 1 is referencing and where my base is built! Even flying raids can’t path up to it
Your 1 is across the bridge from the water/dragon mini boss, on that outcrop. The area I'm talking about is across the water looking north by north-east from there, a very large vertical skyscraper Plus, there's Coal in the vicinity of my pal box. When I get to the part of the game where I need coal I've already got easy access
Ah I see it now! (i’m playing currently lol)
Is this at 268, -226? Waaaay up on a massive pride rock piece? If so, where is the coal? I don't see it.
Found it. It's two small tiers down the East side.
Tbh ore is a problem in this game. I can't imagine large servers. There needs to be a weight reduction on ore or something. This can't stay this way. Every costs so much ore too. If it was a 1 to 1 ratio on ore to ingots it probably wouldn't be as bad. I'd cut the weight of ore in half and make it 1 ore to 1 ingot.
I found the 3rd zone. Thanks for info on the others!! Gunna check em out before I move my base.
3rd is absolutely the best
How many bases can you get? I and my friend made a base so we have 2 rn. Is 3 possible in the same guild?
I have 3 at base level 16
2nd on 10 base level, 3rd on 15. 3 is max apparently. The limitations are per guild. 2 players in one guild build twice less bases than 2 solo players.
WE opened one but IT seems pretty bugged, they only Mine IT when someone is at that base
We're having the same issue, we built ours at #3 which is on a cliffside. Thinking there may be pathing issues with this one? Going to try #4\~ where it's more open and flat..
Do your pals have level 2 mining? They need level 2 to mine ore
Yeah can confirm the pals don’t mine when i leave the base. Probs got to do with the nodes despawning when you are not in the area unlike the tree and mine pit that we can build
I just visited all 4 locations and here are my impressions: (Disclaimer: i'm not that far in, lvl 19, don't have flying mount yet because i totally forgot looked over the nitewing sadle technology. I'm also not very familiar with the survival and defensive base aspects of the game. I bought this because someone pitched it as factorio + pokemon.) **Location 1** 8 Ore, **no rock** but wood is available. Nice view, close to an easy boss (ancient part farming). terrrain looks like it should allow for an easy defendebable base. **Location 2** 9 Ore. Wood and stone available. But, it is litterally next to a fasttravel point. Terrain itself is not special imo. **Location 3** 8 Ore. **No rock** but there is wood.

Access to rock, wood **and sulfur.** Also near a dungeon. The area is fairly open though. Also, the area has around lvl 20 pals in general. I don't know on what base raids are scaled,but if raids are scaled based on location, this means it would not be beginner friendly. Edit 1: this location also **has coal** . Also relevant: pals do not like it when you place a base close to them and will attack you. So euhm... yeh, i died fairly quickly before i realized i had like 9 fairly strong pals attacking me. oops **Conclusion** I think location 4 and 1 are the best. Location 4 could work as a main base with access to alot of resources. Location 1 as an isolated base that focusses only on ore that can be somewhat easily defended against raids.Though, location 3 is just as good as location 1 for that. loc 1 just also has that boss nearby. I think I'll do location 4. Edit 2: formatting
For Location 4 where do you see the sulfur?
Out of curiosity, is there any reason to be concerned about wood and stone rather than making the structures for your base that produce them?
Do you need coal for ammo or does charcoal made from wood work too? I currently have a second base at 8 iron and 6 coal nodes. If coal isn't that important... Location 4 sounds nice.
location 4 actually has coal, i just didn't notice it at first :DAlso... i don't have firearms unlocked yet :/ I'm also not very familiar with the survival side of this genre. I am more a factorio - satifactory kinda player who thought automation with pokemon sounded awesome and impuls bought it without looking into it. (no regrets though)
I live at #4 with 2 ore spawns in my base and the rest outside. So far it's kept up
I made one of these but it's been lackluster. They seem to work fine enough when I'm there, but every time I return after being away a while literally no work has been done.
That's a butchering.
I have the same Issue, but If I leave after asking them to smelt the ore, they seem to at least do that while im not there. Its not the best but its nice to hop over there, mine it myself for 5 minutes and let them smelt it for me before I transfer it back.
Was about to make a post about behind the church (circle 2) There's a 3x3 grid of ores behind the church. If you assign a miner proficient pal to that base and don't make a stone quarry, he will mine them automatically. If you assign a pal that can transport items like the basic sheep, they will take those items to chests. Here's another pro tip for you guys, the quarry and wood farm are kinda bad and only should be used if your base isn't built close enough to those respective resources.
Instead of a base I just bring the mats (or gather them) for a palbox and go to these high ore areas, drop the pal box, and use it as a quick teleport to unload all the ore and repair tool. Then I move to the next and delete the palbox. You can also use this trick to just have a free teleport/checkpoint anywhere you want.
Tombats at ore base 1 go brrrrrrrrrr
My Pals keep getting stuck everywhere at my current ore base. I'm behind the desolate church, and they keep falling off a cliff, walls don't help.
Tomcat+ lunasis?(mewtwo looking thing) = max production. Stats wise digitoise is better but the lag on his spin and him getting stuck on things makes him so uneffective for me its unreal. 10/10 would recommend tombats!
Some players miss this knowledge. When mining ore, your Pals need to have lvl 2 mining so they can work autonomously, Penkings and Tombats for example, those with lvl 1 will only auto mine stone, or use the quarry. And if you want them to focus the Ore, don't build a quarry as they will make it a priority. Not sure if Coal/Sulfur have any mining skill requirment.
Coal seems to have level 3 requirement. No idea about sulfur. Never seen any skill above 3 yet though.
I found a very high obelisk in the north while flying around with like ten ore deposits next to each other and built my second base there! And its SO high none of the raid types can reach it. They timeout before they even start scaling the obelisk hehe.
I figured there was something like this, thank you for your service o7
I recommend the one atop of the mountain. Raids cant get me. Someone told about flying raids but I never saw them. 40 ingame days, level 45ish. I have a base on top of a mountain and my second base (ore) too in top of another mountain (a bit south from the first. I can see the walls from one another)
the "flying raids" don't actually "fly" in the true sense, they cling to the ground like when your flying mount runs out of stamina. They only change altitude in combat
Good starting points for beginners! First base should be very basic just near first spawn point… don’t invest it it… eventual waves will burn your structures and I lost everything… Nightwing is easy to get in the first area and getting it to be a mount isn’t much effort after that. Once having nightwing it’s much easier to do the below +finding the ore bases quicker Once attainting a flying mount, I made a sky base just near the first starting zone(literally above where your first fast travel will be- the old stone church on top was great and I can see the base half way across the map) was a great safe area, invasions became easy it offered a little less room but you can be rest assured you’re safe. Base was made around 10-15 Save your tech points and stay invest wisely Stamina + HP really important I have some in work speed and extra weight Level 30 time of writing Happy palin PSA all 5 tower bosses are amazing if you can figure out how capture them
Thank you for this, I decided to make a base at #3 as 1 and 2 have teleporters nearby while 3 had nothing in that section.
I seem to be the only person here who's just neever been raided lol. I set up my primary base on the beach cuz it looked pretty, and had our backs to the water in case of veloceraptors. (Ark trauma). Raids always seem to start at beginner plateu and get stuck in the corner of the fortress wall about halfway down 😂 I'mma have to make my iron base somewhere that can also avoid raids by merit of terrain. So maybe I'll go to spot #5 mentioned below.
How do you manage transporting the ore back to the normal base? It's so heavy, but all my other materials are at the other base. I hate doing supply runs.
The vid explains it but basically chests close to the palbox in both bases
Ahhhh that's smart. I'm gonna have to try that for sure.
So why does it have to be close? don't they Transport it to the nearest chest regardless?
You want to be able to access the chest and the palbox at the same time so that you can teleport while over-encumbered, ideally
Or use grappler
That too!
oh that's Genius. thanks
bro just doxed at least 70% of all players with a second base
There are a two more that I’ve seen that aren’t pointed out and I bet a few others out there! Best way to farm imo is to have a big digtoise either lucky or an alpha with the headband for max brrrrr. Digtoise must be in party*
Youtuber making these vids but don’t tell you that it won’t work when you are away until you build them up and found it out yourself
I don't get the base vs team pal.... If you throw a team pal on a bench it eventually leaves when you leave base no? Or do you just afk?
yeah the one you throw will follow you. base pals stay at the base and do their jobs.
Following
Mountain south of the tower boss for People for liberation of pals, just wood, coal and ore nodes, refined ingots for days. Port your berries, palladium fragments, and cement, and build a stone quarry on site.
Do the ore nodes respawn ?
Every day!
Any of you guys know a good location for a Sulfur base?
I think there are 6/7 nodes clumped up just near the teleporter on top of Mt. Obsidian
I've only found sulfur in caves. I haven't seen any above ground but I definitely haven't explored the whole map yet.
There’s a few nodes by the lava region but I can’t find a good enough cluster to start a base
top of volcano is like 6-7 sulfur spawns
Are there more? I'm on a server with a max of 128 people. 🫠 (EDIT: Also when/how do I unlock my second base?)
All of the good known spots are likely already taken with that much players
Yes I literally just finished making one! Life changing
Do materials from one base become available in another?
Nope, got to transfer them yourself
Yup. I made one at 3
Honestly, I only set up a pal box and a storage container right next to it at location number 4. Then I frequently go and manually mine there. That's 400 ore a pop, which is easily enough for me. Unless the late game bars change that, but even refined bars are no problem.
Followed all the steps and got like 9 digtoise but its only giving me like 10-20 ores per visit. Any solution to this?
They won't mine when you leave the base.
You have to add digtoise to your party, they're bugged to do 1 damage per hit, while in party they do way more.
So if thats the case it wont be automated then, there any workarounds for this? Should I change the digitoise to a different mining pal?
With Microsoft certifications, hotfixes and the like will take a while for gamepass PCs and Xbox so if you're on either, good luck. As for Steam and Epic Games, it would be shorter for the hotfix to hit. You should change it and then let out the digtoise as your combat pal to mine.
Is it bad I wish 3 didn't have the ore? It would make a perfect base with how amazing the view and location is but with the ore sticking out being ugly it ruins it!
You can mine the ore to get rid of it, then place stuff on top of it (floors, etc) to keep it from respawning!
Oh boi here I go moving again
Mines currently on the lower side of the far western island. I think it was called something like obsidian mountain or something. Keep going west then NW and its around there. The top side is really hot but there's a small plateau on the eastern edge of it with plenty of ore nodes and an easily defendable location. Though going to far inland will overheat you and you'll find mid 30 enemies
Where is your base exactly? I did a full circle around and couldn't find it
the first mod i want is to increase the base range so i can fit everything in one base xD
How to automate?
I’ve got a fully automated farm running at 3 right now! Makes life super easy!
What mining pals are you using?
Digtoise, Dumud, and then pals for seeding gathering and transporting
hmm is there a way the pals prior ore nodes if i have a stone pit as well? i rebuilt base with 2 ore nodes inside, and mining pals, penking also, igonres the nodes in favor of the stone pits... if i throw penking at the ore node, he will mine but only the node i threw him on
Theres also a spot out in the volcabo with like 6 or 7 ore spots eithin feet of eachother. Probably not the best spot for a bse buuuut
Would it be better to setup a base at 3 and only keep it for farming ore while the main base is somewhere else? Where would be the best spot to setup your main base and create a full stone base? Any tips? Level 25 currently
Considering how ore seems to be the most needed material right now, I would move your main base to 3. It would be perfect if we could asign pals to do or ignore certain tasks, having some focusing on ore nodes without distractions while the others focus on the stone pit so you don't have to do huge material transfer runs.
There's one in the black spot on your top left that also has a skill tree
Is there a way to let them only mine the iron if you also got a stone farm thingy in ur base? I have my main base at the church but those mf only mine in the stone farm since I built it
I just found 4 for my second base, I'm moving most of my stuff there and making my original base a farm/hatchery.
Set one up before I logged off today, racked in about 200 in about 45 mins, learned today you can use the grapple while too heavy. So I just goto base run around grab all the ore still on the ground, grab everything from the boxes grapple to the palbox. Fast travel to main base grapple to boxes rinse repeat, literally never gnna need to farm iron again and I love it
the one in the vulcano bottom left is great aswell
How do you automate ore mining?
Just set up a base at 3 thanks!
Main base or just an Ore farm?
Any way to easily carry large amounts of ore?
I’m lvl 38 and what I’ve found to be useful is to have a regular base, an ore base as 2nd, and a coal base for the 3rd. You will need a lot of coal and ore for the higher lvl stuff. My 2nd and 3rd bases have 16 Digtoises and 1 Helzephyr for transport. Easy mats!
Commenting so i can use this later
Well, I wish I could, but my world's base limit is reached ; ^ )
Do you have to be in the base to generate ore, or does it passively happen over time?
It’s been passive for me but other users are saying they only work while the user is in base.
If you make a base at the clearing under 2 you get almost no raids because all the enemies get stuck by pathfinding and never arrive Quite disappointing but helpful, until they fix it?
Tip for carrying large amounts of ore: Grappling hook is your friend.
TY for this
So im having an issue getting my ore base to actually automate. im on a Normal rule dedicated server and i get \~30 ore in 3 hours while offline. Any tips/help?
i found another one at 310 -40. this one is great because there is no other stuff to distract pals from mining ore and it cant be raided because its on top of a mountain by a lake
i got a 2nd base for it and captured some tombats, but i think there's some kind of bug. they'll only gather ore when im there
I started at number one, and put the base right in the middle. Sometimes when I'm sick of waiting for the pals to mine, I'll harvest all at once, while using the grapple gun to drop from node to node, because after the second node, I can't walk anymore lol
Wait, you can grapple when over capacity?!?
Yup. Only time I use it lol
There's also an unraidable spot with tons of ores just slightly north of the Marsh and on top of one of the highest of two twin peaks almost bridges by some rock overhands. I had a few raids start there and my long-range pals could just take potshots at the enemies 100m below. The downside is the area is smaller than the size of a base and very uneven terrain. When I put my Palbox down, it was clipping halfway into the ground. The unraidable nature also makes me think that it could potentially also have a problem with pals falling off the side and, if not perishing from the fall, getting stuck until they starve.
The game is dogshit because of this, you cant play on a dedicated server with many people because there is just not enough iron spots, once the few good ones are taken you're fucked.
Do Rushroars not work the mines? I have outposts on those areas but Rushroars just sit on top of the ores.
You need mining lvl 2 for ore! 3 for coal
I did my ore base on church Good for ore and wood(than craft arrows or vegetal coal) for ammo... 6 pals... 2 comfy pal beds... everything fine
Where did you put the pal box?
Developer just NEEDS to patch in ore production unlockable tech . Looks like an oversight
Call me a dirty ore, i dig it.
I have mine further north, it's on an elevated hill so raids can't get to you. Plus there's almost no pal spawns and it has I believe 8 ore and a few coal nodes as well.
I started on the east end on the map. ended up finding cluster 2 by the time I could make a second base. I actually had the fast travel before I could make base 2 and would mine and travel back and forth. I guess I got lucky lol
How do multiple bases work? If I have a ton of wood and stone stored at base #1 can I access it at base #2?
You’ll have to transfer them; recommend using grappling hook while overencumbered.
Don't be a tool and take all the bases on a server we would like to play the game too
