How do you get Ancient Technology Points in Palworld?

By defeating bosses — tower bosses, field alpha bosses and raid encounters. They are not awarded for levelling up or crafting.

Can you farm Ancient Technology Points?

Yes. Bosses respawn, so a rotation of three to five alphas linked by fast-travel points is the standard repeatable farm.

Which ancient unlock should I buy first?

Whatever removes your current bottleneck: mobility if travel is slow, automation if production is slow, or boss-clearing gear if a tower fight is blocking progress.

Do I need ancient parts as well as points?

Yes. Points unlock the recipe; ancient civilisation parts and cores are consumed to actually craft the item. Both come from the same boss fights.

Do Ancient Technology Points carry between worlds?

No. They belong to the character and world where they were earned, like the rest of your tech progress.
