Palworld’s immersive environment provides the player with a humongous amount of resources that can be used to build various structures and enhance their settlements. While basic materials like Rock, Wood, Ore, etc., prove to be sufficient in the early stages of the game, you need to produce new resources yourself to step into Palworld’s mid-stages. Nail is one such processed material, crucial for crafting various mid to late-game items like Assembly Lines, Weapon Workbenches, Weapons, Beds, and more. Without further ado, here’s how you can make an abundance of Nails in Palworld.
How to Craft Nails in Palworld?
Unlike most other items, Nails needs to be manufactured at your base and it cannot be obtained as drops from other Pals. Firstly, you must reach level 10 in the Technology Tree and spend 1 Tech point to unlock its schematics. Once you’ve acquired the recipe, you need the following raw materials and structures to craft it:
Primitive Furnace
Primitive Workbench
Ore
While you will already own the workbench, you will also need to unlock the Primitive Furnace which is also available at level 10. You need to spend 3 Tech points to acquire its schematics and you need the following resources to build one:
X3 Flame Organ
X20 Wood
X50 Stone
While wood and stone are basic resources found anywhere, Flame Organs are obtained from Fire-type Pals such as Foxparks, found just outside the Plateau of Beginnings spawn point at Grassy Behemoth Hills, Small Settlement, Desolate Church teleport points.
Once you’ve constructed your Primitive Furnace, you need to collect Ore, which can be mined from boulders around your base. While you can efficiently excavate them using a pickaxe, you can also assign Mining Pals such as Cattiva, Lovander, Fuddler, etc, to perform the job for you.
Once you’ve acquired an abundance of Ore, you need to deposit them into the Primitive Furnace and assign a Pal with Kindling suitability such as Foxparks, Bushi, Faleris, Pyrin Noct, etc., to turn it into Ingots. These must then be turned into Nails using the Primitive Workbenhc. One piece of Ingot will produce 2 Nails.
To automate the process, you need to assign Pals with Mining, Kindling, Handiwork, and Transporting suitabilities to acquire Ore, smelt them into an Ingot, craft the Nails on a workbench, and then deposit it into a nearby chest. At the early to mid-game stage, these would be Pals like Cattiva, Penking, Foxparks, Incineram, Lovander, etc.
