How to Make and Use a Stone Pit in Palworld

Stone is a common and easy-to-find resource in Palworld, especially early in the game. However, you may find that 20-50 pieces aren’t enough, and you'll need more for crafting items and building structures. While there are several ways to gather Stone, it’s important to do so efficiently, as it’s a key material for many things you’ll make.

Gathering Stone manually by hitting rocks can be tedious and wears down your gear over time. A better approach is to maintain a steady supply by building a Stone Pit. Here's how you can do that in Palworld.

Stone and Its Uses in Palworld

Stone is essential for building many structures that help you progress in Palworld, allowing you to unlock better technologies and more advanced structures. Beyond construction, Stone is also used to craft tools like the Stone Pickaxe, Stone Hatchet, and arrows.

With so many uses for Stone, having a Stone Pit to generate this resource is crucial for maintaining a steady supply. Here are just some of the items and structures that require Stone:

Structures:

• Alarm Bell
• Antique Dresser
• Berry Plantation
• Breeding Farm
• Coal Mine
• Cooler, Cooler Box
• Crusher
• Defensive Wall
• Egg Incubator

How to Get Stone in Palworld

1) Gathering Stone From Ground

At the start of the game, you’ll notice that you can pick up small amounts of Stone from the ground. These rocks will display a prompt, showing what button to press to collect them, similar to other ground materials.

Collecting Stone this way is one of the first methods to gather the resource before you're able to craft a pickaxe and mine larger amounts of Stone. While it’s slower, it helps you get started until you unlock more efficient tools.

2) Mining Rocks

You’ll come across large Stone formations scattered throughout the world, which can be destroyed by attacking them. While any tool can deal damage, pickaxes are the most effective for this task.

Another option is to use Pals with a Mining level listed under their Work Stability. One of the early useful Pals for this is Rushboar. Certain Pals can also boost your efficiency when breaking Stone and other resource nodes, helping you collect large amounts more quickly when needed.

3) Purchasing Stone From Wandering Merchant

While buying Stone from a Wandering Merchant is an option, it may not be the most efficient way to gather it, especially if you need a large amount. Each Stone costs 10 Gold, which is relatively cheap but could be a waste if you're saving up for other items.

A better approach is to gather Stone manually, craft a pickaxe, and mine the large rock formations. This method provides more Stone without spending your valuable Gold, making it the more efficient choice in the long run.

4) Building A Stone Pit

Another efficient way to gather Stone is by building a Stone Pit, which provides an unlimited supply of Stone. Instead of mining the Stone Pit yourself, you'll need to assign a Pal with the Mining ability, as mentioned earlier, to your base.

A Pal with Mining will automatically start farming Stone for you once assigned. If they aren't mining, simply pick them up and throw them at the Stone Pit to get them to work. This setup ensures a continuous supply of Stone without much effort on your part.

This method of mining stone is the most efficient of all. But how do you build a Stone Pit in Palworld? The next heading answers that question.

How To Make a Stone Pit in Palworld

To build a Stone Pit in Palworld, you need to reach Level 7 and unlock it under the Technology tab. After unlocking it, you'll need to gather materials, so one last Stone-farming run will be necessary.

To reach Level 7 quickly, you can catch or kill Pals to farm XP and learn more about their species. Once you reach Level 7, you'll need the following materials to craft the Stone Pit:

- 50 Stone

- 20 Wood

- 10 Paldium Fragments

For Stone, go on a final rock-breaking spree. You can collect Wood by chopping down trees, but if you're further into the game, consider building a Logging Site for a steady Wood supply.

Paldium Fragments can be found from Paldium deposits scattered around the environment or lying on the ground in random spots. After gathering all the materials, head to the Technology tab and pick a spot to place the Stone Pit.

How to use a Stone Pit in Palworld

Using a Stone Pit in Palworld is easy. Just assign Pals with the Miner skill to it. One of the most popular Pals for this task is Cattiva, which can be found frequently in the starting areas.

To boost your Stone supply, you can assign additional Miner-skilled Pals to the Stone Pit while you're off doing other tasks. When you return to your base later, you'll be greeted by a large stockpile of Stone, keeping your crafting and building efforts running smoothly.
