How to Build a Coal Mine in Palworld

No doubt the Sakurajima update for Palworld has given players another five levels to develop stronger, higher-end equipment as well as new production pieces for their base, such as the coal mine. If you want to know how to obtain it, here we leave you a complete article so you can learn:

How to Build a Coal Mine in Palworld

Unlocking Coal Mine Potential

Level Threshold and Ancient Technology:  The path to self-sufficiency in coal production begins at level 53.  At this juncture, players must invest five valuable Ancient Technology Points within the Technology menu. These points serve as coveted rewards earned through valiant victories against formidable major and minor boss Pals.

Level Cap Increase (Sakurajima Update):  The recent Sakurajima update has thoughtfully extended the level cap from 50 to 55. This provides players with additional gameplay hours to reach the level threshold required for Coal Mine construction.

Locating and Constructing the Coal Mine

Production Tab Designation:  Once unlocked, navigate to the Build menu and locate the Coal Mine within the designated Production tab.

Resource Allocation for Construction:  Constructing the Coal Mine necessitates stockpiling the following resources:

100 Units of Coal (a seemingly substantial investment, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial cost)

70 Units of Stone

30 Paldium Fragments

Strategic Considerations for Resource Management

Balancing Efficiency and Convenience:  While the Coal Mine requires a significant initial coal investment, it streamlines future coal acquisition within your primary base of operations.  This eliminates the need to establish and maintain a separate mining base solely dedicated to coal production, optimizing your overall resource management strategy.

Endgame Resource Planning:  For seasoned players already adept at crafting automated coal farms (coal being crucial for high-level crafting), the Coal Mine offers an additional, readily accessible source of this vital resource, further bolstering your resource independence.

Inventory Optimization:  Having a centralized coal supply within your main base eliminates the need for frequent fast travel trips to a separate mining base for coal collection. This streamlines your operations and minimizes logistical inefficiencies.

Optimizing Coal Production through Manpower Allocation

Prioritizing Efficiency:  To maximize coal production output, assign a dedicated Pal to manage the Coal Mine.  Prioritize Pals with robust mining capabilities, such as the highly proficient Digtoise.

Digtoise vs. Dumid:  While both Digtoise and Dumid possess mining prowess, the Digtoise is the superior choice for this specific task due to its singular focus on excavation. Dumid's secondary skills in Watering and Transportation might divert its focus from coal mining, potentially hindering production efficiency.

With these strategies outlined and by integrating the coal mine into your Palworld operations, you will be able to establish a self-sufficient and optimized resource acquisition system. This allows you to focus on creating high-level equipment, exploring new regions, and mastering the art of taming Pal, solidifying your position as a dominant force in the ever-evolving world of Palworld.
