Palworld 1.0 did not just add materials - it rewired the crafting tree, so recipes you built in your first hour now demand resources that did not exist a patch ago. The new materials fall into clear layers: reworked wooden boards bolted onto old recipes, mid-game assembly-line intermediates, the new Soralite and Paloxite ore chain that gates the best gear, and the World Tree materials at the very top. This guide lists every one with its source, unlock level, and what it feeds.
One honest note up front: this is a day-one topic and exact per-craft quantities shift between patches, so treat quantities as "roughly this much" and verify against the in-game recipe. The material names, sources, and unlock order below are the parts that matter and hold steady.
New Materials at a Glance
Layer | Key materials | Where they come from |
|---|---|---|
Reworked basics | Wooden Board, HQ Wooden Board, Hardwood | Workshop, plus Hardwood from floating-island trees |
Assembly-line intermediates | Cryogenic Coolant, Corrosive Solvent, Bio Battery, Computer, Thermal Core | Production Assembly Line, unlocked by level |
New ore chain | Soralite, Paloxite, AI Core | Sunreach and World Tree ores, Ancient Furnace |
World Tree exclusives | Holy Water, Mythical Wood, Pal Metal Ore | The World Tree endgame region only |
Tier 1: Reworked Basics
Pocketpair's fix for a pile of unused resources was to make old recipes consume them, so wooden boards and hardwood now gate items you built on day one - Pal beds, assembly lines, storage chests. None need a tech detour beyond unlocking the recipe, so treat this tier as a tax, not a project:
Material | Made from | Crafted at | Used for |
|---|---|---|---|
Wooden Board | Wood, Fiber, Nails | Workshop Assembly Line | Assembly lines, Pal beds |
High-Quality Wooden Board | Hardwood, Wood, High-Quality Cloth | Workshop Assembly Line | Drafting table, large fishing pool |
Hardwood | Harvested (not crafted) | Chop trees on the floating islands | Large Pal beds, refined metal chests |
Hardwood is the one to note: there is no recipe for it, only harvesting from the trees on the new floating islands, so stock up whenever you pass through Sunreach.
Tier 2: Assembly-Line Intermediates
This is where the materials start compounding into each other - each is built from resources you were likely already hoarding, and each feeds something higher up. Unlock levels matter here, so plan the order:
Material | Unlock level | Crafted at | Ingredients / uses |
|---|---|---|---|
Cryogenic Coolant | 31 | Production Assembly Line | Armor, fishing magnets, power pods, hot spring |
Corrosive Solvent | 37 | Production Assembly Line | Venom Gland + Sulfur; feeds Thermal Cores |
Bio Battery | 44 | Production Assembly Line | Electric Organ, Refined Ingot, Carbon Fiber |
Computer | 50 | Production Assembly Line | Circuit Board, Pal steel, Bio Battery, Carbon Fiber |
Thermal Core | 59 | Production Assembly Line II | Flame Organ, Coal, Corrosive Solvent, Hexalite |
The chain runs deep: Corrosive Solvent (Venom Gland and Sulfur) feeds Thermal Cores, Bio Batteries feed Computers, and Computers plus Thermal Cores feed the AI Cores in the next tier. Build the Production Assembly Line lines early so nothing stalls when a high-tier recipe calls for five of something you have never made.
The New Ore Chain: Soralite, Paloxite, AI Cores
The headline additions are two new ores and the cores built on top of them - the materials gating nearly all of 1.0's best weapons and gear:
Material | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
Soralite Ore | Mined in Sunreach (floating islands) | Raw ore for Soralite Ingots |
Soralite Ingot | Smelted at the Ancient Furnace | Backbone of mid-tier 1.0 weapons and Ancient armor |
Paloxite Ore | Mined in the World Tree (needs Holy Water or Rainbow passive) | Raw ore for Paloxite Ingots |
Paloxite Ingot | Ancient Furnace, from Soralite + Paloxite + Holy Water | Top-tier energy weapons, ammo, Ancient Sphere |
AI Core | Advanced Workshop (Level 67) | Wing Pack, Laser Sword, Ancient armor, high-tier guns |
Soralite is mined in Sunreach and smelted into Soralite Ingots at the Ancient Furnace - the backbone of the mid-tier weapons. Paloxite is mined in the World Tree and smelts into Paloxite Ingots (from Soralite, Paloxite, and Holy Water) for the top-tier energy weapons. AI Cores sit above both, built at the Advanced Workshop from Computers, Soralite Ingots, Thermal Cores, and Ancient Civilization Cores. For which weapon each feeds, see our new weapons and Soralite gear guide.
World Tree Materials
The rarest materials live inside the World Tree endgame region, which is gated behind its own questline (defeat every Tower Boss, then the Panthalus quest). Our World Tree guide covers the full unlock. Once inside, three exclusive materials become farmable:
Material | Source | Used for |
|---|---|---|
World Tree Holy Water | Dropped by Pals in the World Tree; also Teafant Springs | Keeps World Tree nodes from vanishing; crafts Paloxite Ingots and more |
Mythical Wood | Chopped from trees in the World Tree | Fuels Wing Cells for the Wing Pack |
Pal Metal Ore | Purple rocks in the World Tree | Late-game alloy ingots for the best gear |
The catch that stops most players: World Tree resource nodes shatter and vanish the instant you approach, so you cannot mine Paloxite, Mythical Wood, or Pal Metal Ore the normal way. The fix is World Tree Holy Water applied before harvesting, or - far cleaner - keeping a Pal with a Rainbow (Legendary) passive in your party, whose aura keeps the nodes intact. Holy Water itself drops from the Pals you defeat or capture in the zone, so the two solutions feed each other.
The Rainbow Passive: Your World Tree Key
Because it unlocks all World Tree farming, the Rainbow passive deserves its own note. These new Legendary passives share the line "World Tree resources will not vanish when approached," and with one active on a party Pal you mine the zone freely - no Holy Water ritual required. The reliable way to get one is to hatch an Omnium Egg found scattered around the World Tree, and rarely the passive drops from Pals caught there directly. Breed that passive onto a dedicated farming Pal and every World Tree run pays out in bulk - our breeding guide covers passing passives down.
Quick Reference: The Full New Material List
Every new 1.0 material in one list, roughly bottom to top:
- Basics: Wooden Board, High-Quality Wooden Board, Hardwood
- Intermediates: Cryogenic Coolant (Lv31), Corrosive Solvent (Lv37), Bio Battery (Lv44), Computer (Lv50), Thermal Core (Lv59)
- Ore chain: Soralite Ore and Ingot, Paloxite Ore and Ingot, AI Core (Lv67)
- World Tree: World Tree Holy Water, Mythical Wood, Pal Metal Ore
- Endgame cores: Ancient Civilization Cores and Relics (expeditions, raids, oil rigs)
To turn any of these into a hands-free supply line, the Ancient Material Synthesizer produces a chosen ore or wood endlessly once built - see our Ancient Material Synthesizer guide.
Material Farming Tips and Mistakes
- Build the assembly lines before you need them. Thermal Cores, Computers, and AI Cores each branch into sub-recipes; set the lines up early so a high-tier craft does not stall.
- Never mine the World Tree without a Rainbow passive or Holy Water. The nodes despawn on approach, wasting the trip.
- Stock Hardwood and Soralite on every Sunreach trip. Both come only from the floating islands, so a single visit should fill several stacks.
- Do not chase exact quantities from old guides. Per-craft numbers shift between patches - read the in-game recipe and treat written amounts as approximate.
- Farm Ancient Civilization Cores in bulk. They gate AI Cores and multiple Ancient structures, so bank them during raids and expeditions rather than making repeat trips.
- Automate the grind. Once a material becomes a bottleneck, the Ancient Material Synthesizer or a mining site turns it into passive income.

FAQ
What new materials did Palworld 1.0 add?
The main additions are Soralite and Paloxite ore and their ingots, AI Cores, and the assembly-line intermediates Cryogenic Coolant, Corrosive Solvent, Bio Battery, Computer, and Thermal Core, plus the World Tree exclusives (Holy Water, Mythical Wood, Pal Metal Ore) and reworked basics like Hardwood and wooden boards.
Where do you get Soralite and Paloxite?
Soralite is mined in the Sunreach sky islands and smelted into Soralite Ingots at the Ancient Furnace. Paloxite is mined in the World Tree region and smelts into Paloxite Ingots from Soralite, Paloxite, and World Tree Holy Water. Both feed the best 1.0 weapons and gear.
How do you get Hardwood in Palworld 1.0?
Hardwood is harvested, not crafted - chop the trees on the new floating islands (Sunreach). It feeds several reworked recipes, including large Pal beds and refined metal chests, so stock up whenever you are in the sky region.
Why do World Tree resources disappear when I approach?
World Tree nodes shatter and vanish on contact unless you either apply World Tree Holy Water before harvesting or, more cleanly, keep a Pal with a Rainbow (Legendary) passive in your party. The passive's aura keeps the nodes intact so you can mine Paloxite, Mythical Wood, and Pal Metal Ore normally.
What is World Tree Holy Water used for?
It lets you harvest World Tree resources without them vanishing, and it is a crafting ingredient for Paloxite Ingots and several other late-game items. It drops from Pals defeated or captured inside the World Tree, and can be gathered at the Teafant Springs scattered through the zone.
What unlock levels are the new crafting materials?
Cryogenic Coolant unlocks at Level 31, Corrosive Solvent at 37, Bio Battery at 44, Computer at 50, and Thermal Core at 59, all on the Production Assembly Line. AI Cores come at Level 67 at the Advanced Workshop. Exact per-craft quantities can shift between patches, so check the in-game recipe.
