Survival

What is coal? Coal can easily be confused with charcoal, which you can craft in your base. However, you must mine coal from veins that you find on the map.

What is coal used for? You mainly need coal to craft refined iron bars. You need these to craft better weapons and ammunition. Unless you also want to run around with a bow and arrow later.

Finding and mining coal

Where can you find coal? Coal can be found in various places on the map:

The best spots to mine coal: (-157, -92), (-97, -120), (189, -40) and (290, -20).
In dungeons: On one hand, you can find coal in random dungeons. However, you need a bit of luck for that. In the dark dungeons, coal is also difficult to distinguish from stone. So, take a torch with you. In dungeons, you can also find ancient parts.
In the northernmost part of the map: On the other hand, you can find coal in the large desert region located all the way in the north of the map. By the way, Anubis also spawns here, whom we count among the best Pals in combat.
In the western desert: There is also a smaller desert in the west of the map. You can find coal here as well.
Enemies that drop coal: Blazamut, Blazamut Ryu, Menasting

Once you have mined all the coal, you need to wait a bit. After some time, the coal vein regenerates, and you can mine it again.

Tips for coal: Before heading into the desert, you should craft heat-resistant armor. Otherwise, you’ll suffer from the heat and lose health points. You can craft the tropical outfit as early as level 9. You need 3 fabrics, 2 fire glands, and a primitive workbench for this.

Also, make sure to clear out your inventory beforehand, as coal is quite heavy and takes up a lot of space. Bring Cattiva with you for support, as he can temporarily increase your carry capacity by 50 points. Cattiva is considered one of the best starters in Palworld.

Building a coal mine in your own base

With the Sakurajima update, the developers added the ability for you to build your own coal mine in your base. This way, you no longer have to search for coal deposits on the map. The coal mine works similarly to the lumberjack camp or the quarry, which you can also build.

The requirement for the coal mine is level 53 and 5 ancient technology points. You also need the following resources for the coal mine:

70 stones
100 coal
30 Paldium fragments
