*I'm in single player on PC and the base pulls in hundreds of ore even when I'm nowhere near it. Seems like Xbox / multiplayer might have issues with that* _-BoomstickAlex_

If anyone else are having issues with this, there is a good reason he mentioned those three mining pals specifically. You can't just use any pal with the mining trait, as they need to have a lvl 2 mining trait to mine ore. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what I was doing wrong and why my pals were just wandering aimlessly or twitching in place. Placing a pal with a lvl 2 mining trait made it work perfectly.

If you don't want to drop the ore when you get back to your main base, you can use a grappling hook to pull you towards the chest! :D

Finally someone who knows how to record a guide and edit it perfectly.

Most comprehensive guide out there. Also this is the biggest grind in the game so far. Thanks. I think I need to disassemble my second base to do this. It's holding me back, big time.

INSANELY HELPFUL. At around level 30, I felt really stuck because I kept having to mine iron and it felt boring as hell since most of the resource collecting before hand was so, so automated. Good to know you can just easily automate that too! Appreciate you

That time-lapse segment was really cool to watch. Thanks for that.

appreciate how you include related info like where to find the pals and pros/cons of each

Place a furnace next to the chest at mining base and use vanwyrms as your transporters as they have kindling and lvl 3 transport (with no other traits so they don't get side tracked)

Absolute legend. Noticed some of my mining pals weren't doing their job. This helps alot😊

Additional detail that you might want to try out: If you can, you can replace the all the mining pals with Reptyro (spawned mostly East side on the volcano island, far west from the default spawn location). It hot there so prepare heat resitance gears They have level 3 in both kindling and mining, so you can have them smelt the ore they mine when they mined all the ore and is waiting for it to respawn. While leaving free kindling slot for other jobs at your main base. The con is that they're day time pal so they don't work overtime.

Straight life saver bro thank you so much for a detailed walkthrough!

you just earned a sub, i was actually looking for the best spot for this and you broke it down perfectly thanks

Awesome video. The king of automation you are.

Flawless video, automated base are my goal in these kind of games every time

You could also just put the furnaces at the mining base. No reason to drag the ore back to base just to refine it there. Your miners will have a lot of downtime once they clear the ore, so you may as well have like, 3 fire Pals with 3 furnaces to cook all that ore. One issue I find with Tombats is, they get very unhappy when working during the day. Thing is... there's no way to control that, they work during the day on their own. I have 3 hotsprings and full beds at the mining area, and half my Tombats are still always sick or refusing to work.

Wow, a guide video that gets to the point.

Great video! Very well explained. Subscribed.

Thanks for the video. It was extremely clear.

Just the video I was looking for. Thanks!

Thank you for this great and concise video! Please make more content like this.

This is my new mission now. Cant wait to get back in game and set this up

This is so helpful, thank you so much for this video!! Will try this out asap

Fantastic video! Hopefully we'll get some method of both automatically moving resources between bases and keeping tasks on an "always perform" state so we don't need to keep assigning things like smelting and grinding manually.

Great video! very useful and indepth

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!😍😍😍😍 this is so straight to the point and just utterly perfect. Thank you brotha🙏🏼

thank you so much man, in the first minute i literally got 215 ores, you got a new sub

wow thanks for helping the community

I threw a couple furnaces down with a vanwyrm, and just had the base make the bars as well, used location 2 which has plenty of trees, and a logging pal, boom coal farming too

Looks pretty good for a solo or private group session, I’ve seen other games patch encumbered teleports, will have to wait and see if they do that with this game as well

The box placement 😍

I'm playing multiplayer with a friend and the digtoise/dumuds won't mine unless someone is AT the base. We left them for a couple in game days and came back and there was 0 ore in the box. We have 2 vanwyrms out with lvl 3 transport, and they were also just not moving. Everytime we fast travel back to the base, the digotise are stuck on top of all the ore nodes and starving to death... any ideas/solutions?

I don't know if there's a better Night-Alternative, but I suggest using the Daedream for the Transport Pal, since like the Bats it can work during the Night as well as long as they have Sanity

Now that I have unlocked the ability of having 3 bases my next one its going to be something like this. Thanks for the vid!

used to auto mate the process like this back in the day in roller coaster tycoon... 😊

Timelapse was an insane idea dude. It perfectly made me picture how the AI works

I've used spot 3, and it does have the benefit of funneling invaders into one chokehold because of the pathing, so it's really easy to defend.

I think this is the great way to introduce labor guide to beginners in palworld

worked perfectly thank you

Great guide!

Thanks man! I tried it, but it wasn't working, now i know it was because the pals i was using had only lvl 1 mining skill. I was affraid it wasn't gonna work at all. Glad i got this in my recommendations😁

Thank you!

Very helpful, thanks

Awesome tips

Really good design. One very minor time save I figured out is I just drop the whole ore pile and walk away. My pals pick it up very quickly and put it in that box.

Damn I didn't even think of this. Glad there's people like you. Time to destroy my 2nd base and start over.

after the 1.4 update you can still move when fully over encumbered so you don't have to worry too much about having your box within reach of the pillbox

Real info- 1.The turtle is good for ore mine, and using his pal gear to throw him out manually to mine iron. He will do 20+ dmg per tick if he is your actuve partner, but as a pal in your base he does 1 dmg to iron. Leave him to only attacking normal rocks, the quarry, or use his pal gear only. Take him with you to dungeons and mine the blue rocks as well with him, youll have sphere material for days. 2. Afking near your base is required to get pals to do anything despite what anyone says. After 20ish minutes away from base (or logged off for multiplayer, sometimes it takes longer if other players are active near your base keeping it loaded in), they will cease all actions and idle by the palbox, starving and doing nothing. Recall them before logging off on multiplayer. Youll just come back to dying pals, raids can only happen for that 20 minute window after you log off. 3. The best miners for afk iron mining is level 2+ (required to mine iron) night time pals. Night pals never sleep unless upset, and work more than any other due to this. They do more dmg to the iron than digtoise as well (20+ a hit). Thats basically it, digtoise is best used for his pal gear (basically use him as your pickaxe), He is op in that aspect. These mines arent actually automated, and misinformation is everywhere due to the game being new. Be careful out there fellow tamers~

Some additions/tips: -for farming berries, get a Lyleen (planting 4, gathering 2, and some other good traits - especially medicine making 3); 1 Lyleen is enough for any base -install fluffy beds which restore sanity for your pals while they sleep; low sanity pals can get sick and won't work well/at all -at least sometimes check on the bases to take the regular berries and make them on camp fires into baked berries which also restore sanity; 3 camp fires will have you covered -Digtoise and Reptyro both have mining 3, which is ideal if your ore base also has coal for making refined ingots which *will* be needed eventually -Reptyro also has kindling 3 which is great for smelting ores into (refined) ingots -there is a good coal-ore spot in the Verdant Brook area on a mountain very close to Lily's Tower, 2 sealed alpha pals are nearby as well of which one is in a forested crater -there is a material called carbon fiber, *only* make this from charcoal (created by torching wood in a furnace) because regular coal is quite rare and needed for the refined ingots -if you have two support bases, it's a good idea that one makes only ingots and the other only refined ingots, this frees up work at your main base where you'll want to produce the actual goods -for building/crafting anything, Anubis has crafting 4 and will make pretty much anything in seconds even in large bulk which is a literal godsend of a time saver Bonus tip: You have a cooling box but your ice pal goes to sleep, thus missing the point of having a cooling box to begin with? Get a Vanwyrm Cryst, which is the only nocturnal ice pal so it never goes to bed at night (it does take breaks of course but those are quick) and assign it to your cooling box. Vanwyrm Cryst's cooling 2 is entirely sufficient at keeping your perishable goods fresh. No more losing ingredients for your cakes!

Nice mining base. Thanks for sum tips.

Nice Vid Pal 😁

around spot 4 there is another place, that has a spawn point for an enemy camp (so free pal), and a lvl 30 dungeon nearby. The terrain is not flat, but other than that, it's great. I suggest putting many bases, near each cluster of ore, that way, the carrying pals can transfer the stuff with zero travel time. Then, build the smelting at the ore base, to take advantage of the resource sharing across the base.

This is a way better method than what I’ve been doing. I just built a pal box at an ore spot and threw my digtoise at every node and manually transport it all to my main bases furnace 😂

killamari and daedream are great options for your transport pals since they work day and night too

My current base for midgame right now includes Tombats and Anubis for mining, planters waterers and harvesters for berries and currently 3 Vanwyrms for smelting and transporting. Digtoise is a good team pal if you have the equipment for it but as an afk base pal I'm pretty sure it's bugged. Doing 1dmg per tick is insanely low. You're better off getting Tombats, or breeding Anubis or Reptyro if you have the right parents. Great vid, I'm glad that location 4 is getting love. That was across the river from my friend's first base and we made so many trips back and forth haha.

You can also get Digtoise from Dungeons, I found a few boss ones and have them working on my base gathering stone. Now that I know I can just use them to gather ore, I'm going to set up a base and do exactly that.

The Palworld TCG is gonna be lit.

Thanks. My boy says that was really helpful. He says he also used a rushroar to mine as well

Obrigado, essa farm me ajudou muito

спасибо, разложил всё по полочкам 👍

Very useful 👍

I recommend Daedream as a moving pal because they do not need to sleep so they keep working at night while other pals rest.

Personally I prefer anubis because you can breed them pretty early and they not only have mining but also transporting but this looks even more beginner friendly

1:35 you can right click on pals to quickly put them into/out of the active at base thing

Question: On the digitoise, if they are apart of the base they don't benefit from the headband you can make correct? So would it be better to have more tombats/dumond over digitoise?

I found that juicey ore vein that you made a base around yesterday and was planning on doing this exact setup and it just so happens your video pops up on my feed.

Thansk a lot bro!

I tend to find it help to build a fence around the area and a gate (always open) with a small tunnel in to the base, when you get raided the raider walk in to the gate, stop for a moment then attack when all clumped together then your Pals will basically dispatch them in seconds due to all the AOEs.

if you want to have more effective collection deadream can similarly work through the night at collection i noticed that during nights your productivity slowed down due to the collectors you have needing to sleep. id swap one of the mining pals for that so that there isnt as much of a pile to pick up

ive been meaning to do this! so far i only have 2 bases. one of em is my "main" base the other i dubbed my "breeding" base and i think i might turn the breeding base into the mining base instead. maybe if im lucky i can make it be both. i hope they make base radius's bigger too. im excited for more updates that add more pals and base items and all that stuff. im so glad too the decorative base items have character. like its not just a wood table thats empty. it has a plant and plates and forks and all that stuff to make it look like an actual home.

you can also use the grapple hook so move when over encumbered

Tysm❤

U can actually spread the box more wide near the ore so the transport is faster actually. Just put the furnace next to the pal box. All will be auto available to max melt into ingut there. U can get that werewolf with horn pal in the base for tagt purpose , since it do mining transport and melting too.

1:07 I've had trouble with this method because sometimes the box doesn't give me the option to open unless I'm standing at a certain angle. My solution is to go a little distance away from the palbox, build a foundation with a wall, put the box on the foundation and then grapple to the wall. I position it so that I land directly on top of the box after release and from the top of the box it always lets you access it.

Anubis is the best pal for this he can mine ore and transport it and he has the fastest movement speed in the game while working!

Hohooo I set up mine just today after finding spot 4 which I thought was perfect :D now I feel smart lmfao x)) ah lil joys in life xDD

Yeeee Thank you !

Oh God moving bases is more of a pain than I thought... So many resources D: But thank you for the fantastic guide. I'm still fairly early in the game and don't have any ore mining Pals, but the first spot I chose has become too buggy to be used. (Parked between a cliff and a river and now that there are more pals and stuff, the pals get stuck constantly, so might as well move base to somewhere with ore for futureproofing... or maybe I can play until I can build a second base to spare myself the hassle....)

I’m bouta cry I just found a shiny digtoise and I crashed

Penking also has lv 2 mining and lv 2 water. Tombat is really good because it has lv 2 mining, lv 2 transport, and doesn't go to sleep at night.

tombat r definitely the earliest ones u can get, also the fire goat is great for smelting

The Rushoar method can get many more in that amount of time, though it does require a good route, a fast flying pal, and your own time. I think it's mostly worth it myself, but to be fair I put most of my points in carry weight so maybe that's why. Just need to bring some Lunaris or Kingpaca for extra inventory

I've been using Katress instead as a transport. Really efficient and goes all night.

Thanks!

So I know different pals require a different amount of food. Is there away to calculate how much your berry plantation has to be producing to make sure that none of your pals go hungry?

Well personaly i have 3 Digtose, One Mossanda for building stuff in base and wood, One Ragnahawk for the ingots that i make in base and one Helzephyr just to carry all the ore. The base is working like a charm

ty 👍👍👍

You can use the grappling gun to move even when overweight. I just completely dismantled my main base and moved it all in one go. Was at over 30k on weight while doing it.

We did basically this exact build about 30 hours ago and have more ore than we expected and still find ways to run out

You can use the grappling gun to move while being encumbered

1 tip and 1 question, Tip, you can just the grapple gun to get a bit movement even while super encumbered, can be useful if you just need a little bit to reach the fast travel point or a chest etc. Question, when making these bases once the pals destroy the ore deposits, how does the ore get into chests? doesnt it just sit there on the ground and despawn eventually? or do you need to make suure you have some with the transporting skill (still unsure how most stuff works) and they then ferry the stuff to available chests is that how it works? How many transporters would need?

thanks

You can actually get sustainability easier than plantations if you use a ranch and something that drops food while grazing. Just make sure you have enough miners with transportation.

I have issues at spot 4 with too many mid to high 20s pals roaming around attacking my ore production.

its like a north korean labor camp hahaha. Thanks for the tips

2:27 pro tip, make a grappling gun and you can move even if weighted down

There's a big flaw with assigning Pals to the base - they don't work as well. A digtoise will only do 1 damage per hit if he's assigned to the base, but if you throw him out from your party he will do 20-30x more damage. He can, by himself, outwork an entire base of miners. That's what I do. I just throw him out and help him mine. It takes maybe 3-4 minutes to clear an entire mining area, where it might take an entire in-game day or two if you're just using Pals assigned to work in the base. The nodes will also respawn much quicker as they're being destroyed at a much faster rate.

As soon as you can have a flyer grab it and a heat armor head over to the big ass volcano and farm the large schorching eggs, hatch them in the egg hatcher and hope for Reptyro, They are insane miners, and i managed to get some after hatching all my large and normal eggs, i had several Reptyro, and some vanwyrms that i breed with an ice pal, and managed to get the vanwyrm cryst, awesome transporter that wont stop and try to smelt the ore, so will let the reptyro do that along their mining. Had my mine base up and running around lvl25 and swimming in ore and coal.

I don't know if I'm hoppingivande it to get more faster. But, my pals are not transporting the ore to the boxes at all stone and wood. Works somewhat fine. And the mining feels slow. Like they just stop for Breaks insted

Ty i did have minning base but this one video make me want go build again for best perfomance minning bass
