Considering ore is used to make ingots with is an important ingredient for making all sorts of things in Palworld, you’re going to want a lot of it. Here’s how you can get more than you need.
Generally, if you build your base next to an ore deposit, you’ve got it made. Resources, whether they’re trees, rocks, or ore, will respawn on a set timer. You can tweak this in your world’s custom settings, but if you’re playing using the default rules, it’s a day before a fully exhausted deposit respawns. Having a base next to one or more means that you can just keep mining the deposit whenever you’re at home.
But you can do better than that. There are larger clusters of ore deposits out in the world, or at least, there’s one as far as I’ve found. Thankfully, it’s not deep into hostile territory, and the nearest landmark stands out like a fresh mouth wound.
There is a rather massive cluster of ore deposits that you can find near a place called the Desolate Church. Considering all of Palworld is desolate, this place must be exceptionally desolate. It’s found in the middle of the hilly area covered with red trees. On the map, it looks like melted ice cream or a strawberry cake roll. The area is in the middle of some monumentally jagged rocks and can easily be spotted because there’s a big, gutted church in the middle of it. Hence the name.
The ore is around back of the church, but you’ll also find a waypoint, an effigy, and some other neat stuff. Better yet, the area around the church is perfectly flat and featureless, so it makes a pretty rad spot to plop down a base.
So, if you take an ore deposit like this and build a base next to it, you’ll have more ore than is reasonable. That’ll keep you well-supplied through most of the early game.
