As you progress in Palworld, the requirements for building newer and better items for your base increases significantly. Wood and Stone are quickly relegated to secondary materials when you gain access to more complex technologies, and eventually, you won't even be able to operate these machines yourself.
8 Best Survival Games Of 2023
These are the best survival games we saw in 2023.Instead, you must rely on Pals to do the job for you. This requires some knowledge of which Pals can do which jobs, and how best to set up your base to enable them to work efficiently. This is something you'll encounter very early on with the construction of the Primitive Furnace.
Palworld is currently in Early Access, which means that the information detailed below is liable to change over the course of development.
How To Get A Furnace
The Primitive Furnace is an item you must unlock with Technology Points after reaching Level 10. It requires 20 Wood, 50 Stone, and ten Flame Organs to build - the latter can be obtained by defeating or catching fiery Pals, specifically Foxparks and Roobys.
It's a good idea to build the furnace outdoors - we found that Pals wouldn't be able to 'see' the furnace if it was placed inside a building and, therefore, would not work on it, even if they were otherwise idle and without any other jobs to attend to.
How To Use A Furnace
Furnaces require fire to operate, and this is something that you cannot do yourself. Instead, you'll need a Pal capable of the Kindling task. The higher the Kindling level, the better the Pal will be able to craft items at the furnace.
The main thing you'll be using a furnace for is making Ingots, which require two Ores to create. You'll need a huge amount of Ingots to progress through the game's intended technology route, so make sure you're harvesting Ore whenever you see it!
Pals capable of Kindling that you can obtain early in the game are the same that drop Flame Organs - Foxparks and Rooby.
- Foxparks can easily be found around the Grassy Behemoth Hills, which is between the Plateau of Beginnings and the Tower of Rayne.
- Rooby can be easily found on the chain of islands to the west of the starting location, the Sea Breeze Archipelago.
