Ore, ingots and why mining is not a gold strategy
Mining ore is not a gold strategy in Palworld — ore and ingots sell for very little, so an ore base is only worth building to feed crafting lines whose finished products you then sell.

The margin problem
Raw ore sells at a fraction of the arrows or spheres you could craft from the same run.
Best ore base spots
The desert ridge and the northern coal fields both hold dense multi-node clusters inside one Palbox radius.
Miner crew
Three Digtoise plus one Transporting Pal saturates a six-node cluster.
Convert before selling
Ore to ingot to crafted item multiplies value several times over.
When ore does pay
Refined Ingots feed Legendary Sphere and end-game weapon crafting, which is where the real value sits.
