One of the most important resources in Palworld is iron ore. It is used to create metal ingots, which are necessary for crafting many items, ranging from Pal-spheres to a wide variety of clothing. In short, without this material you will not be able to develop your base in the game.
In this material we will tell you how to mine ore, what it is needed for, how to automate obtaining a resource at the base, and also show you the best places for farming.
How to mine ore in Palworld
Mine iron possible from iron ore deposits. The process itself is no different from obtaining other similar minerals. To do this, you will need a pickaxe and time, which will take a lot, so we still recommend creating a base for automated ore mining.
It is important to note that this resource is quite heavy, so before you go after it, make sure that you can carry as much loot with you as possible. For example, you can take with you Pal, who can increase your weight – Kattiva.
Let's add that ore also drops from some Palov. At this point in time, only one creature is known, after defeating which iron can drop. We are talking about Digtos. The pictures below show its habitats.
Best places to mine ore
Below on the map we have shown the places where you can find iron ore. All of them are excellent locations, both for creating a base and for manually extracting this resource.
Location No. 1 Fort Ruins
- Coordinates: (155, -394)
This location is a great place to set up an ore mining base, as it is closest to the starting area and has four ore veins.
Location No. 2 Old Church
- Coordinates: (72, -40)
Near the fast travel point you will find as many as five veins. The location for the base is quite good, but it is located on a plain, so be prepared for enemy attacks from all sides.
If you don’t want to spend additional resources on guarding and strengthening the base, just mine the ore manually.

Location No. 3 Small village
- Coordinates: (11, -523)
Located on a rock west of the fast travel point. This is a great place to manually mine ore or set up a base, as there are eight iron ore deposits located here.
Enemies will only be able to enter the location from one side, but it is located quite far from the starting zone.
< h3>Location No. 4 Ice Weasel Hill
- Coordinates: (-28, 159)
Located right next to the teleporter. Although this point has fewer ore deposits than the above mentioned ones, it does have other resources such as pure quartz, trees and stones. Overall, this location is an excellent place to build a base.
How to automate ore mining
Base automation will allow you to mine ore without your participation. To do this, you will need to place several buildings and assign the appropriate workers.
The first thing you need to do is check if you can create at least two bases. After that, select one of the above areas with ore deposits and go there.
In order to establish a base, place a container for Pals in the selected location, as well as a chest in which the pets will store the extracted resources. Try to position the buildings so that there are as many ore veins as possible in the radius.
Now it is necessary to provide workers with everything they need. Provide them with beds, a feeding trough, a berry farm and a hot spring.
In order for the ore to be smelted into ingots, it is necessary to place a primitive furnace at the base. It opens at level ten.
Next, you need to assign workers to make everything work.
First of all, we need Pals who know how to extract minerals. Penking, Tombat, Dumad or Digtos are suitable for this.
In addition, it is necessary that there are Pals at the base capable of planting, watering and collecting plants.
Bristla and Tanzi are suitable for planting and cultivating the farm, and can also help with transportation.
And Selarai or Pengullet, which is also suitable for carrying necessary items, will do an excellent job with watering.

In order to smelt ore into metal ingots, you need to get a pet that will light the furnace. This could be, for example, Foxparks or Ruby.
What is iron ore for
As we said above, metal ingots are produced from ore, which are necessary to create a large number of weapons, armor and buildings.
You can also produce refined metal ingots from ore. This material can be used to make even more powerful weapons and armor.
We hope, with the help of our In this guide, you learned how to mine ore in Palworld and what iron is needed for in the game.
