How to Maximize Oil Farming and Chromite Gathering in Palworld?
The latest Palworld patch introduced several changes that can significantly improve your gameplay. From faster oil farming to updates on chromite caves and new pal stats, here’s a breakdown of what you need to know.
Faster Crude Oil Farming
Efficiency Boost: Oil extractors now work 15-20% faster after the patch.
Steps to Optimize:
- Remove and replace your existing oil extractors on crude oil nodes.
- This reset is required to activate the faster extraction rate.
Best Location for Oil Farming:
- Coordinates: (-854, -456).
- This spot has three crude oil nodes close together, making it ideal for setting up multiple extractors.
Pro Tip: To place two extractors on one node:
- Center your extractor on the node.
- Slowly adjust its position until the placement indicator flashes blue.
Chromite Cave/Base Changes
Key Update: Players can no longer build new structures inside the chromite cave located at (-908, -1321).
What This Means:
- Existing bases in this cave are grandfathered in but cannot be expanded or rebuilt if damaged.
- If you rely on this location for chromite farming, consider dismantling your base and relocating.
Farming Strategy: Use a pal with a mining skill (e.g., Smokey) to double your chromite yields from the four nodes inside the cave.
New Pal Stats and Elemental Changes
Earth Element Addition:
- Some pals, like Mest, now have an Earth element alongside Ice and Grass types.
- Earth Emperor boosts ground-type attacks by 20%.
Kil Mari Update:
- Kil Mari is now both a Water and Dark type.
- Its nocturnal trait prevents it from sleeping at night, making it highly effective for nighttime tasks.
- You can upgrade Kil Mari’s water abilities using Applied Technique Books, though it requires significant effort to reach level five.
Quick Tips for Success
- Always check patch notes or community updates for hidden changes that aren’t explicitly announced.
- Experiment with new pal stats to discover synergies that fit your playstyle.
- Reevaluate your resource-gathering strategies after each update to maintain efficiency.
By adapting to these changes, you’ll stay ahead in Palworld and make the most of its evolving mechanics.
