Palworld 1.0 Full Release - Best Base Farming Route
Multi-base farming progression route for Palworld 1.0. Starter base to mid-game ore/coal peak to specialized outposts. Pal assignments, coordinates, and passive resource production.
Why Multi-Base Farming Matters
In Palworld 1.0, manual resource grinding bottlenecks progression hard. Ore and coal for ingots, plus food and crops, require constant attention if you're running a single base. The solution is multi-base specialization: let Pals auto-gather at dedicated outposts while you explore and fight.
With 3-4 base slots, the goal is minimal travel, on-site smelting, raid defense, and passive stockpiles. Each base handles one resource type efficiently rather than cramming everything into one inefficient location.
Starter base (south, levels 1-15) to Main ore/coal peak (central, levels 15-50) to Specialist outposts (oil, sulfur, crops on island chains). Fast travel and flying mounts minimize downtime between bases.
Stage 1: Early Game Starter Base
Plateau of Beginnings North
~232, -487Setup Actions
- Build Palbox and basic structures (feed box, beds, plantation)
- Assign versatile early Pals: Tombat for mining/transport, Penking for multi-role, Vixy in ranch for spheres and gold, Broncherry or Arsox for planting and kindling
- Stock feed box heavily to prevent hunger stops
- Clear resource nodes inside your base perimeter before expanding
- Run this base until you unlock a second base slot and hit level 15-20
Stage 2: Mid-Game Main Base
Guardian Ore + Coal Peak
~190, -40Setup Actions
- Lay stone foundations to prevent sliding on slopes
- Assign dedicated miners (Tombat and higher-tier mining Pals) and transporters
- Add food Pals for sustained operation - berry plantation plus cooking
- Set up breeding farm and ranch for passive production
- Build walls and defense - elevated position with choke points handles raids better than old cliff spots
- Use as production center - smelting, crafting, and breeding all run here
Stage 3: Specialized Outposts
Use remaining base slots for parallel production. Each outpost should run 15-20 high-level Pals with a massive food buffer (thousands of salad) and a monitoring stand to restrict jobs. Check storage periodically.

Flexible locationKey Pal Assignments
| Pal | Role | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Prunelia | Yield Booster | Partner skill boosts crop yield. Needs transporters paired. |
| Braloha | Planter / Gatherer | High planting and gathering rank for efficient farming. |
| Lullu / Ghangler | Waterer | Ghangler is nocturnal for 24/7 watering coverage. |
Key Decision Points
-
Base Specialization vs Cramming Specialize each base for one resource type (one main, one mining, one farming/oil). Cramming everything into one base causes pathing bugs and inefficiency. Relocate your early starter base once mid-game base is established.
-
Raid Defense Strategy Prioritize elevated terrain with bridge choke points over old EA "unraidable" cliff spots (patched in 1.0). Build walls and keep extra combat Pals at each base. Pay off raids if the pay option is enabled.
-
Pal Selection: Generalist vs Specialist Early game: multi-skill Pals like Tombat and Penking. Late game: specialists like Prunelia for crops and high-tier miners. Condense Pals and roll work speed passives. Use nocturnal Pals like Ghangler for 24/7 coverage.
-
New 1.0 Features Aquatic building unlocks water-based base spots. Wider resource spread reduces dependency on single high-density nodes. Explore new Sunreach and Sakurajima areas for endgame materials.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overbuilding one base with too many Pals and structures. Causes pathing bugs and inefficiency.
- Ignoring food and hunger. Pals stop working when hungry. Stock thousands of salad at each outpost.
- Bad plantation stacking. Wrong snap direction causes Pals to get stuck. Test placement before committing.
- Assuming old EA "unraidable" cliff spots still work. They were patched in 1.0. Use elevated terrain with walls instead.
- No transporters paired with high-yield farms like Prunelia. Resources pile up at nodes without transport.
- Neglecting to clear internal resource nodes before expanding your base perimeter.
