In Palworld, gone are the days of each base being dedicated to mining a specific resource. With the Sakurajima update, two new mines are coming to make life easier — Coal Mines and Sulfur Mines. In this guide, I’ll go through how to get a Coal Mine.
If you’ve got a dedicated Coal base set up in the Dessicated Desert or anywhere else, I’m happy to tell you that you don’t necessarily need it any more. You can now place a Coal Mine next to your Ore Mine, assign a mining Pal, and get endless amounts of Coal for all of your Carbon Fiber or Refined Ingots.
Requirements for getting a Coal Mine in Palworld
To get a Coal Mine, you’ll need to reach at least level 53, and then the Coal Mine can be unlocked via the Technology Ladder for 5 Ancient Technology Points. You’ll need the following resources to craft it:
- 70 Stone
- Mined from regular rocks or obtained from a Mining Site
- 100 Coal
- Obtained by mining black rocks
- 30 Paldium Fragments
- Obtained by mining Paldium rocks, or otherwise from putting stone in a crusher
After building the Coal Mine, you’ll need a strong mining Pal. My personal choice is always Astegon, but Blazamut also shares a level 4 mining skill. You’ll also need a few transporting Pals to transfer mined resources from the Mine itself into storage, as any stocked up resources in the Mine won’t be counted when it comes to being available for crafting.
The Coal Mine is pretty large, being the same size as a regular Mine or Ore Mine, so I’d recommend setting up an area solely used for mining. Whether this is an entirely different base, or just a section of your home base, is up to you.
