Where do you get sulfur in Palworld?

From yellow-crusted mineral nodes in the desert and volcanic regions, and inside several cave and dungeon interiors where the heat penalty does not apply.

What is sulfur used for in Palworld?

Primarily gunpowder, which in turn is required for every firearm ammunition type and several explosive items.

Do I need heat resistance to farm sulfur?

For surface desert nodes, yes — heat-resistant armour and cooling food make the difference between a farm run and a death run. Cave sulfur avoids that requirement.

Can Pals farm sulfur automatically?

Yes. Build a base inside a sulfur cluster and assign Mining Pals plus a Transporting Pal; they will harvest nodes on respawn while you are away.

Does sulfur respawn in Palworld?

Yes, nodes respawn on a timer, so a well-placed base produces sulfur indefinitely without manual routes.
