Base Locations for all Mining Nodes - Palworld
This page includes all of the Mining bases that I found and think are good. There are a lot of resources you will need in Palworld for advancement and it isn't always possible to make a Quarry in your base to farm them. Sometimes you want a resource before you've unlocked the Quarry and in those instances, having a secondary base to farm resources is typically better.
I took all of these pictures and added all of these locations after the 1.0 release of the game.
Early Game Ore Base Location
One of the best early game bases for Ore is right near Chillet. This is a hop skip and a jump from the Hill of Beginnings where you first begin your journey. While this location does have a lot of Ore, it's not the best for building an actual base. It's best used as a resource base.
Above Fenglope Ore & Sulfur Base Location
Just above the cave that Fenglope is located in you'll find a great spot for an early game resource farming base. Depending on exactly where you put your Palbox you will get a different amount of Ore/Sulfur nodes in the circle. I got 10 Ore Nodes and 4 Sulfur nodes in my circle when I made the base for this guide. The only downside of this base location is you will have some overhang, the blue circle is too big to fully encapsulate the entire area.
Western Coal & Sulfur Base
This base location is in an easy to get to area at the start of the game and it has 3 Sulfur and 5 Coal nodes near each other. This isn't a great location for an actual base but it makes an excellent spot to throw down a Palbox along with a couple of Pals to mine the nodes.
Northwestern Coal & Ore Base
If you want ore and coal, this makes a great location! You'll find 8 ore nodes and 7 coal nodes at this spot along with a respawning chest extremely close to the base. The Pals around this base are all in their teens so you don't have to worry too much about big threats if you come here early.
Ore & Pure Quartz Eastern Mining Base
Pure Quartz is another one of those early game road blocks, without the proper cold protection you can't get to it in the Mountains... Thankfully there is a base in an easy location where it's plentiful! At this spot you'll find 5 Ore nodes and 6 Pure Quartz nodes; there's also an egg that spawns nearby.
Pure Quartz Pristine Snow Field
Unlike the other Pure Quartz locations, this one is ontop of a small rock platform and right next to a PAL Genetic Research Lab. In total you can find 9 Pure Quartz nodes here along with a single Ore node. There will also be a bunch of trees mixed in with the nodes.
Pure Quartz Central Mountain (Land of Absolute Zero)
In my opinion this is the best spot in the mountains for Pure Quartz. There are 8 Pure Quartz nodes here along with 2 Ore Nodes, ontop of that you'll also find a chest and an egg nearby.
Feybreak 3 Hexolite Mine Base Location
This spot is pretty much the only location that has a cluster of Hexolite Ore on the entire continent. If you aren't getting enough Hexolite through Expeditions or your Quarry, this is a pretty good spot for some more. One oddity of this location is there's an NPC standing in the middle of the three Hexolite. I normally capture her and then merge her with my Zoe.
Floating Islands 6 Soralite Base
You can find 6 Soralite nodes here along with a chest just outside of your base circle. From all my searching around these islands, this spot had the most Soralite nodes in one place while also being a flat enough surface/area for a Palbox and no pathing issues.
Floating Islands 3 Soralite & Hardwood
About two dozen trees that you can harvest for Hardwood and 3 Soralite nodes on this small floating island. This wouldn't be a good spot at all for building, but if you want to harvest these two resources it makes for a great spot. Put down a food bowl and drop a Logging + Mining pal along with everything else they need and let them go to town!
Floating Islands 5 Soralite (Open Area)
There are 5 Soralite nodes in this area and plenty of space if you'd like to actually build something. Out of all the Floating Island locations I have listed, this one would be the best actual base. Most of the others are just for farming resources.
