Best Coal Farming Locations in Palworld

Ready to strike it rich? Let's pinpoint the absolute best coal farming hotspots:

Coal Farming Pro Tips

Want to maximize your haul? Follow these expert strategies:

  • Build a Coal Mining Outpost: Establish a Palbox near a rich deposit. Store supplies, house your mining Pals, and set up basic crafting stations for on-site efficiency.
  • Assign the Right Pals: Pals who excel at Mining and Transporting are your best bet. Look for traits like Workaholic to boost performance. If they wander off, pick them up and toss them towards a target deposit to stay focused!
  • Upgrade Your Tools: A high-tier Metal Pickaxe (unlock levels were reviewed in 1.0, so check the Technology menu for the current level) makes harvesting a breeze.
  • Watch Out for Raids: Some coal hotspots may attract unwanted attention. Build simple fortifications around your base perimeter to discourage attacks.

Automation - Level up Your Coal Mining Operations

As you delve deeper into Palworld, you'll uncover incredible ways to automate your resource gathering. Here's how to take your coal mining to the next level:

  • Conveyor Belts: Once you build the Conveyor Belt Factory, these handy mechanisms can be used to automatically transport mined coal to a designated storage area. No more manual hauling!lifmunk on conveyor belt
  • Mining Rigs: These advanced structures automatically extract coal without needing Pals assigned to them. However, constructing and powering them takes additional resources, so they're a higher-level investment.
  • Combination Approaches: Experiment with combinations of Pals and automation tools! Consider having Pals focused on the furthest nodes while employing conveyors for closer deposits.
