Best Base Locations in Palworld (2026)
Coordinates are for the Palapagos map (current, pre-1.0). Palworld 1.0 (July 10, 2026) adds the World Tree region and a second island - we will add the new spots once they are live.
A base location is decided by three things: resources (ore, coal, and other nodes inside the build radius), flat buildable space, and safety (how often it gets raided and the level of nearby enemies). To travel to a coordinate, open the map and read the X, Y readout as you move your cursor. You have three base slots by default - a common setup is one main/crafting base, one mining base, and one specialist (oil/sulfur) base.
Best overall resource base
| Location | Coords | Why |
| Mountain peak (top pick) | 192, 38 | 5-6 ore and 5-6 coal nodes inside one base radius, on a non-raidable peak. The best all-round resource base on the main island. |
Best mining / ore-coal bases
| Location | Coords | Why |
| Heavy ore + coal | 270, -230 | 8 ore nodes + 5 coal - the densest dedicated mine base. |
| Ore-rich main/mine | -255, 42 | 6 ore nodes; works as a main base or mine. |
Best beginner base
| Location | Coords | Why |
| Windswept Plateau | ~100, -150 | Near the starting area, flat, naturally defensible, and a good resource balance for a first base. |
Endgame / specialist bases
| Location | Coords | Why |
| Sakurajima Oil Fields | -646, 270 | Crude oil rigs with vast flat space - but level 50+ enemies, so build it last. |
| Mount Obsidian West | -744, -442 | Sulfur in the volcanic zone - the base for ammo and explosives production. |
| North of Cinnamoth Forest | -33, -171 | Coal veins, skill fruits, and wood - a strong hybrid-production spot. |

Put the right workers on those nodes - see the best Pals tier list (Anubis, Astegon and friends for mining) and the raid & base-defense automation guide for keeping a resource base safe.
