Figuring out the best base locations in Palworld can feel like a daunting task. Pocketpair drops you in a large open world and basically says “go for it, pal” without any real indication of what spots might be the most helpful.
While you can make any location work for a base in Palworld, the right ones give you easy access to valuable materials and make your crafting efforts go much more smoothly. For our money, here are the best base locations in Palworld for all the resources you need.
We’ve selected six base locations that grant you access to a wide array of resources, including coal, ore, sulfur, and even Ancient Civilization Parts. At a glance, here are the six best base locations in Palworld:
Palworld limits how many active bases you can have at once, based on your level. If you’re looking to trade up, our guide on how to move a base can help.
I had no idea what I was doing when I started Palworld and randomly plunked my first base on the ledge just below the first fast travel point. Turns out, that’s a pretty good spot for one. You’re near several stone nodes and trees — both of which replenish after an in–game day or two — and there’s plenty of space to experiment with building houses and facilities.
It’s also an easily defendable location. Rocks guard your southern end, while sheer cliffs border you on the north and west. The only paths your enemies may have is up the staircase to your east, and there’s a pretty big length of open ground between there and the ruins where your base is — perfect for setting traps and sending Pals out to battle.
The downside is that you have no access to dungeons, Alpha Pals, or ore nodes. This really is a beginner’s location.
The southwestern part of the Hillside region — the area with autumn foliage everywhere — has a lot going for it. The location shown at the top of this paragraph is fantastic for logging camps, with dense woodland in every direction and few wild Pals roaming about.
Just slightly to the south of that spot is a clearing with multiple ore nodes. Put your base somewhere in between, and you’ll likely never want for basic resources again. There’s even a Syndicate base not far away and a bridge separating you from it, giving you a natural defensive barrier and an easy way to keep your base safe.
The Twilight Dunes region is rich in resources, despite being so small, and it’s also distinctly lacking in fast travel points, which makes it ideal for building a base.
Coal is the big draw here, as there’s quite a bit of it to farm. However, you’re also right in the middle of Dumud and Digitoise habitats, the two best — and easiest — ways to get high quality Pal oil. You’ll need plenty of the slick stuff to manufacture firearms, so if that’s high on your

Story modes in sports games have had a long-standing problem. Scripted narratives clash with the “anything can happen” nature of sports, which means what happens in the actual games can be in direct opposition to what happens in the narrative.
Amulets are your main piece of equipment in Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. They run the gamut from being simple buffs to completely changing how you play. Some are easy to find, and just need to be bought from merchants, while others are rewards for beating bosses or are hidden in chests that could take a bit of skill to reach.

The Nintendo Switch has had a lot of success in the nearly six years since its release. The console-handheld hybrid has been on the market since 2017, and a slew of fantastic games from first- and third-party developers have launched over the course of the system’s life cycle.

The Xbox Series X is a delightful console, but can ironically be a headache to get a suitable monitor for. Why? It can’t necessarily take advantage of all of the stats the best gaming monitors are going to be able to give it. It’s rated to run 4K at 120Hz max. This means the usual high definition, high refresh rate lists of monitors — what gamers typically go for — is thrown out the window. However, with lower requirements, there are actually also lower quantities of monitor for you to choose from without, essentially, paying for extra. No matter what your situation, however, here are your best options.
For PC gamers, there isn't a more important component than a graphics card, but it can be tough to find the best graphics card for you. GPU reviews don't always tell the full story, and tracking down the graphics card that offers the best value between cost and performance isn't as simple as shopping online.
The upcoming DC Universe media franchise helmed by James Gunn is going to include more than just movies, and the development of video games within the DCU sphere is coming at a particularly interesting time. DC already has a long history of video game adaptations, from the widely mocked to the celebrated titles. Considering the lack of any major games set in the recently concluded DC Extended Universe, there's not much precedent for the venture into DCU games, raising a lot of interesting questions about what the slate will look like.
