Palworld is a popular survival game in which players can obtain a variety of creatures known as "Pals." Players fight alongside them, as well as recruit them as workers to craft structures and bases. Having topped the Steam player charts within a week of its early access release, it is clear to see that the core mechanics of the game are enjoyable to many players. Like many open-world survival games, crafting is a key feature that enables players to take resources and use them to create tools, weapons, and buildings within the game world.

While many raw materials such as Wood, Stone, and Ore can be found throughout the Palpagos Islands, some materials will need to be crafted by the player (or their Pals) in order to craft further specialty items. From advanced armors to useful breeding nourishment, these materials enable players to expand their horizons and create a variety of useful items in-game.

There are some Pals found in Palworld who may be worth a lot of gold, but are even more valuable when they're put to work in the correct way.

7 Flour

Cooking Material To Make Bread And Cake

  • Crafted via: Wheat Plantation, Mill
  • Requirements: 3x Wheat Seed

Flour can be one of the more tricky resources to obtain at first, but it is well worth establishing a solid production line dedicated to this resource. Flour is used in a number of useful food recipes, including Cake, which is needed to breed Pal eggs.

First, players will need to build a Wheat Plantation, as well as a Mill. With these structures in place and Pals assigned to the requisite workstations, players can then place an order for Flour and have it produced by the Mill.

6 Cloth

Basic Material Used To Craft Armor and Clothing

  • Requirements: 2x Wool

Cloth is an important tool when it comes to crafting clothing and armor. To craft it, players must combine two pieces of wool, which can be produced by Lamballs assigned to Ranches. Fortunately, it is one of the more common and easier resources to farm. Even at an early stage, players should not be in short supply of this material.

Some Pals in Palworld aren't as useful as others, and selling them for a quick buck can be the best use for them.

Once Cloth has been crafted, players can use it in a range of further crafting recipes to create armor items, such as Cold Resistent Metal Armor, Heat Resistent Metal Armo, and outfits like the Tundra Outfit and Tropical Outfit.

5 Cake

Essential Food For Pal Breeding

  • Crafted via: Cooking Pot
  • Requirements: 5x Flour, 8x Red Berries, 7x Milk, 8x Eggs, 2x Honey

Cake is a valuable resource that can be used for both nutrition and as part of the breeding process. This allows players to create more Pals without the need to search out and defeat them. Players can also use this mechanic to make powerful breeding combinations and spawn even better types.

To craft Cake, players will need the Cooking Pot, unlocked at Level 17, and will need to gather a range of ingredients. The only other way to acquire Cake is to defeat Lovander, who will very rarely spawn this as a loot drop.

4 Ingots

Crafting Ingredient For Weapons and Armor

Ingots are an important resource used to craft a variety of metal-based items, such as weapons, armor, and a variety of other intermediate recipes. First, players will need to uncover and mine ore, before using it at the Primitive Furnace, which is powered using Wood, Stone, and a Flame Organ.

Crafting is a vital part of many titles, but players will have no hope of survival if they don't craft well in the following survival games.

Creating a steady production line of ore and ingots can be incredibly useful, since this ingredient is included in so many crafting recipes. Players can also craft Refined Ingots, which can lead them to creating even more powerful items.

3 Charcoal

Basic Material Used In a Variety Of Crafting Recipes

  • Crafted via: Primitive Furnace
  • Requirements: 2 Wood

Another item that players can craft using the Primitive Furnace is Charcoal. This resource is used for crafting items such as Carbon Fiber, Gunpowder, and the Heater. At the expense of 2 Wood, Charcoal is produced by the furnace, though players may not have much need for this particular resource until the mid-game.

Gunpowder is needed in order to create ammunition, while Carbon Fiber can be useful for crafting advanced weaponry and improving Pal Spheres. Therefore, it is important that players establish an efficient production line of Charcoal in order to meet these requirements later on.

2 Cement

Essential Material For Base Building

  • Crafted via: High-Quality Workbench
  • Requirements: 50x Stones, 1x Bone, 1x Pal Fluids

Cement is one of the key resources players will need in order to build a variety of buildings and features for their base. To craft Cement, players will first need to unlock the High-Quality Workbench, which becomes available at Level 11.

Unlike Pokemon, Palworld is as much as survival game as it is an RPG where Pals battle for supremacy. As such, not every Pal is suited for combat.

Cement is one of the most important supply materials when it comes to base building, and will enable players to construct features such as Defensive Walls, Hyper Spheres, Flower Beds and a Production Assembly Line. Players can also quarry stones from a Stone Pit to make the farming of Cement easier.

1 Nail

  • Crafted via: Primitive Furnace
  • Requirements: 1x Ingot

Nails are another important construction tool, enabling players to build some of the higher quality workbenches needed to craft higher-end equipment. To craft Nails, players will first need a Primitive Furnace, and will need to craft Ingots out of Ore to then turn them into Nails.

Once players have established a steady supply of Ingots and Nails, they will be able to construct items such as the Medieval Potions Table and High-Quality Workbench. Thie latter can in turn be used to make Cement for base building.
