As you playPalworld, a large portion of your time will be spent gathering materials and resources to upgrade your gear, improve your base, and create various structures that serve different purposes. Thankfully, you’re not alone in this task - your pals are there to assist with many of the jobs around your base.

While pals are helpful in collecting nearby resources and handling tasks at the base, there will be times when you need to seek out specific materials on your own. Ore is especially important for crafting and building. With the latest update, a new tool, the Metal Detector, has been introduced to help you locate more ore, making the search much easier.
