Pick field mining or the Quarry
A field run solves today's Refined Ingot shortage. The Coal Quarry solves repeated shortages. Building a permanent resource base around old node maps is usually unnecessary once the current Quarry is available.
Palworld 1.0 moved the Coal Quarry to level 37. If a guide or search summary tells you level 41, check its date before planning the rest of the base.
- Immediate batch
- Mine dark Coal nodes in a reachable region
- Earlier route
- Twilight Dunes
- Larger desert route
- Deep Sand Dunes
- Long-term supply
- Level 37 Coal Quarry
Mine a first Coal batch
- 01
Choose Twilight Dunes for the earlier trip or Deep Sand Dunes after the northeast desert is safe.
- 02
Identify Coal by its dark rock appearance and keep it separate from ordinary Ore in storage.
- 03
Use an appropriate pickaxe or a Pal capable of mining Coal-grade nodes.
- 04
Collect only enough for the next Refined Ingot or construction batch unless another desert task shares the route.
- 05
Return through fast travel rather than overloading the trip with unrelated heavy materials.
Move production to the level 37 Coal Quarry
- 01
Reach level 37 and unlock Coal Quarry from the Ancient Technology side of the tree.
- 02
Read the current build recipe in-game before gathering the final construction batch.
- 03
Place the Quarry on open ground with a direct worker entrance and nearby storage.
- 04
Assign strong Mining work and enough Transporting capacity to clear production.
- 05
Record the storage count, watch one cycle, and confirm Coal arrives before expanding other lines.
Fix a Coal line that looks idle
Treat the Quarry as a production chain: worker access, mining, pickup and storage must all complete. Adding more miners cannot fix a blocked entrance or missing transport route.
- No worker starts
- Check Mining suitability and access
- Coal stays at site
- Shorten storage path or add Transporting
- Worker wanders
- Remove competing assignments
- Quarry still locked
- Confirm level 37 and Ancient Technology Points
