The world in Palworld is vast, and you can build exactly three bases. Therefore, the locations for your bases should be the best possible. Here are our 6 recommendations for every need, marked on a map.
How did we choose our base suggestions?
We made sure that our selections include good base suggestions especially for the early and mid-game. With these suggestions, you should be able to protect your first bases well and later quickly access important resource deposits. Finally, we have a suggestion for your late-game.
Can I later tear down my base and set it up in another location?
You can set up up to three Palboxes simultaneously and thus have up to three bases at the same time. However, be aware that you can unlock the additional bases only with higher storage levels.
Attention: If you destroy a Palbox to establish your storage at a new location, you will lose items that cannot be crafted outside of storage.
Best Base Locations – Our 6 Suggestions
For Beginners
Most Palworld players will start at the Starting Zone. There, you will be washed ashore in the opening cutscene and meet the first Pals of the open world. There are also two very good locations for your first camp.
The first good spot is right at the location shown in the cutscene – on the beach. The place can be found at the Starting Zone South at coordinates 264 and -548. Here you will find your first Pals, stone, wood, and Paldium fragments.
Alternatively, you can make your way over or through the hill to the north and settle down at 230 and -515. A fast travel point is nearby. Here, there is stone and wood.
Both spots are good to defend when you are attacked. The second spot does not have Paldium, but it is somewhat safer as it is not as easily accessible as the first.
Ore Farming
At a certain point, ores become indispensable. Therefore, it may be important for you to set up a storage at a spot with a high ore deposit. Here we recommend the autumn Hillside, the area west of the small village. You can find it at 7 and -529.
The ore deposits respawn every in-game day.
If this spot is not enough for you, here are a few tips for ore bases:
Since an update in April 2024, you can unlock and build an automatic ore mine at level 24, so you do not need to use a base for it anymore after unlocking. You can then use it for other materials.
Pal-Oil Farming
If you have progressed further in Palworld, sooner or later you will need large quantities of Pal-Oil. It is necessary for weapons like the musket at level 21 or the assault rifle at level 45. It is also needed for polymer plates, which you also consume for weapons and circuits.
A base for farming this valuable resource makes absolutely sense. We recommend the Twilight Dunes at coordinates -94 and -119. In the desert, where you can also find the boss variant of Anubis, which is small but full of Dumud and Digitoise constructions – the best sources for Pal-Oil.
Here you will also find sulfur and coal – two more essential resources for the mid and late game.

Coal Farming
Like the aforementioned Pal-Oil, coal is very important for your mid and late game. A good spot for a base to farm coal and ores is at coordinates 180 and -39 at the Sealed Realm of the Guardian southwest of Frostbound Mountain.
With the Sakurajima update, a new coal mine was introduced that you can unlock and build. Once you have unlocked it, you can use your base for newer materials.
Coal is not the charcoal produced with a fire Pal in your base. Here it is about traditional coal, which you need for more powerful weapons and more complex constructions. Here is more information about it:
Farming Ancient Components
To craft the most important buildings, you need Ancient Components. The more you have, the better. Accordingly, a well-placed storage to farm these items can boost your progress.
For this, we recommend the spot south of the fort ruins at level 11 Alpha-Pal Chillet. Since it is the weakest Alpha-Pal, you can battle it relatively early, and the higher your level, the easier and quicker it will become. Defeated Alpha-Pals respawn after about one real hour. So, a camp at Chillet will quickly give you important components.

Farming Crude Oil
With the Sakurajima update, a new resource became important in the endgame. You need this for various crafting processes, making it a crucial material starting from level 50.
To effectively mine crude oil, we recommend a base at the Sakurajima oil fields at coordinates -646 and 270, where you will encounter enemies of level 50+.
If you are a bit higher in level, a spot at -1340 and -1285 in the west of Scorched Hill is recommended. There, you can mine not only crude oil but also Hexolite-Quartz, which you need for almost all crafting processes from the Feybreak update, making this spot the best location for your base so far. The enemies in this area are at level 52+.
