Ore Locations & Farming Guide
The backbone material — refined into Ingots for almost everything you build.
Ore is mined from ore nodes across the Palpagos Islands. Turn it into Ingots in a Furnace, then into Refined Ingots with Coal. You will never stop needing it.
What it's used for
| Recipe |
|---|
| Ingot — Ore ×2 |
| Refined Ingot — Ore ×2 + Coal ×2 |
| Pal Metal Ingot — Ore ×4 + Paldium Fragment ×2 + Pure Quartz ×1 |
| Plasteel — Crude Oil ×5 + Ore ×10 + Paldium Fragment ×5 |
Where to find it
Ore nodes are found in caves and open areas across the starting regions. The best early spots are the ore-rich areas near the starting plateau and the dedicated Ore Mining Sites.

Farming tips
- Build an Ore Mining Site on a node-rich spot and assign a Digtoise or other high Mining Pal.
- A dedicated ore base (2nd base) near a cluster of nodes pays off all game.
- Site II produces faster — upgrade as soon as you can.
