Palworld: How to Get More Nails Faster

Nails open up a whole new world when it comes to crafting. They’re vital for making higher-quality structures, powerful weapons, and new storage items. And if you’re planning to fully automate your base, you’ll need plenty. Here’s how to get Nails faster in Palworld.

How to Craft Nails in Palworld

First things first: before you can begin crafting Nails, you must unlock the item recipe in your Technology Tab. It’s on Row 10, and only costs 1 Technology Point. While you’re at it, you must also unlock the Primitive Furnace, which requires three points.

Now you’re ready to follow these steps to craft Nails:

• Mine Ore from Ore Deposits using your Stone Pickaxe. For this guide, you’ll need at least eight ore, but I recommend getting more. I found plenty of Ore Deposits in the Windswept Hills along with Stone and trees for Wood. They look like large, chunky boulders with a shimmery copper tint. You can’t miss them.
• Build a Primitive Furnace at your base. This requires x20 Wood, x50 Stone, and x3 Flame Organs.
• Refine Ore into Ingots using the Furnace. To do so, interact with the Furnace, set the amount of Ingots you want to make, and have a Kindling Pal power the structure. You’ll get one Ingot for eight Ore.
• Retrieve the Ingots and craft Nails. Go to your Workbench, select Nails, and add the Ingots. You’ll get two Nails for one Ingot. If you have any Handiwork Pals at your base, they can help you speed through the crafting process.

Where to Find Ore in Palworld

After reading those steps, you might be wondering where you can farm Ore in Palworld, especially if you don’t have enough to make more than one Ingot. Thankfully, the best route is in the starting area.

I recommend following the path from the Plateau of Beginnings Fast Travel Point at 240, -513 to the Rayne Syndicate Tower Entrance at 118, -425. Check cliffsides and veer off the path if you spot any copper-brown rocks in the distance. Remember, if you damage your Pickaxe, you can always use your fists to mine Ore, though it is a slower process.

Nails are well worth crafting if you want to take your base-building, crafting, combat, and automation to the next level; basically everything you do in Palworld requires Nails.
