Palworld Ore and Resource Locations - All 7,335 Nodes
Palworld has 7,335 mining nodes: 7,255 on the Palpagos Islands across ten ore types and 80 Paloxite on the World Tree, plus 184 crude oil wells and 2,070 gathering points.

The Palpagos Islands carry 7,255 mining nodes split across ten ore types, 184 crude oil wells and 2,046 gathering points. The World Tree adds 80 mining nodes and 24 gathering points. Open all three resource layers at once and you are looking at 9,485 places to harvest something on Palpagos alone.
Those totals matter because the ore you are stuck on is usually not the rare one. Sulfur has 663 nodes. Copper Ore has 1,823. Ancient Lava has 10.
Every ore type on Palpagos, counted
| Ore | Nodes | Share of all mining |
|---|---|---|
| Copper Ore | 1,823 | 25% |
| Paldium Fragment | 1,349 | 19% |
| Coal | 829 | 11% |
| Paldium Ore | 713 | 10% |
| Sulfur | 663 | 9% |
| Hexolite Quartz | 633 | 9% |
| Pure Quartz | 612 | 8% |
| Chromite | 415 | 6% |
| Soralite | 208 | 3% |
| Ancient Lava | 10 | 0.1% |
Paldium comes from two separate node types, Paldium Fragment and Paldium Ore, which together account for 2,062 markers. If you filter for one and think paldium is thin on the ground, you are looking at half of it.
Ancient Lava is the outlier. Ten nodes on a map of 37,544 markers means you will not find one by wandering, and it is the single strongest reason to open the map before you go looking rather than after.
Showing one ore type on its own
Open the mining layer and all 7,255 nodes appear together, which is unreadable at low zoom and not much better up close. There is no address that isolates one ore, so use the panel:
- Click the Mining layer to open it. All ten ore types are listed with their counts.
- Press Hide all.
- Tick the one you came for.
Each row also shows a bracketed number for how many of that type are inside the view you currently have on screen. Pan around with only Sulfur ticked and that bracket is a live density reading of wherever you are pointing.
Picking a mining base site
Total counts tell you what exists. They do not tell you where the nodes bunch up, and a base only works the nodes inside its own radius, so a tight cluster of six beats a loose scatter of twenty.
Zoom out and the map groups nearby markers into a single disc with a count on it. With one ore ticked, the largest disc is the densest patch of that ore on the map. Zoom in on it and the disc splits into the individual nodes, so you can see whether they sit close enough together to fall inside one base.
Two things worth checking before you commit to a spot:
- Whether a second useful ore sits in the same cluster. Switch a second type back on and see if the two overlap. Coal and Copper Ore are common enough that a shared site is realistic; Ancient Lava at 10 nodes is not going to share with anything.
- What else is nearby. Switch the crude oil or gathering layer on over the same view before you decide.
Crude oil: 184 wells
Crude oil sits in its own layer rather than under mining, so filtering the mining layer will never show it. There are 184 wells on Palpagos and none on the World Tree map.
184 markers is small enough to leave switched on while you plan a base, and it is worth doing when you are choosing between two otherwise equal ore sites.
Nightstar Sand and the 2,046 gathering points
Gathering covers everything you collect by hand rather than by pickaxe, and on Palpagos it is 2,046 markers in sixteen types.
| Gathering point | Palpagos |
|---|---|
| Junk (Hold to collect) | 834 |
| Nightstar Sand | 271 |
| Power Lotus (Small) | 144 |
| Speed Lotus (Small) | 134 |
| Life Lotus (Small) | 106 |
| Carry Lotus (Large) | 96 |
| Stamina Lotus (Small) | 96 |
| Stamina Lotus (Large) | 92 |
| Life Lotus (Large) | 74 |
| Power Lotus (Large) | 68 |
| Speed Lotus (Large) | 42 |
| Beautiful Flower | 27 |
| Kinship Peach | 22 |
| Carry Lotus (Small) | 20 |
| Ancient Bark | 10 |
| Ancient Remains | 10 |
Nightstar Sand has 271 markers, more than Soralite’s 208, and it sits under gathering rather than mining. Searching the ore layer for it will always come up empty.
The lotuses are counted separately by size, which hides how many there are. Add the small and large versions together and Palpagos has 212 Power Lotus, 188 Stamina Lotus, 180 Life Lotus, 176 Speed Lotus and 116 Carry Lotus markers, 872 in total.
Ancient Bark and Ancient Remains sit at 10 each, matching Ancient Lava for scarcity. Three separate ten-node resources on one map is a good reason to open the gathering layer and tick only what you actually need.
Paloxite and the World Tree’s 80 nodes
Every one of the 80 mining nodes on the World Tree is Paloxite. The layer has no other ore type in it, so switching mining on there is already the Paloxite view and nothing needs filtering.
That cuts both ways. Paloxite is the only thing you will mine on that map, so if you flew over for Sulfur or Pure Quartz, turn around: those stay on Palpagos.
The 24 gathering points on the World Tree are all Junk, every single one of them, so walking the map with the gather button held down returns 24 piles of junk and nothing else. No lotuses grow there and no Nightstar Sand is buried there.
Where each resource lives
| Resource | Palpagos Islands | World Tree |
|---|---|---|
| Mining nodes | 7,255 | 80 |
| Ore types | 10 | 1 |
| Crude oil | 184 | 0 |
| Gathering points | 2,046 | 24 |
| Gathering types | 16 | 1 |
Paloxite exists only on the World Tree. Soralite, Ancient Lava, Nightstar Sand, crude oil and every lotus exist only on Palpagos. If you are hunting one specific material, that table decides which map you should have open before anything else.
