If your Palworld Pals are not mining coal, then you can check the mining level, equip your Pals with the right tools, and check your Pal’s location. Moreover, you may also reset Pals, and use alternative Pals.

Below is a detailed explanation of all the above-mentioned fixes:

1. Check Mining Level

Ensure that your Pals have the required mining level. According to a Reddit post, Pals need to have at least level 2 mining skills to mine ore.

Look for Pals with the required mining level. For example, Tombat is mentioned as the earliest Pal with the ability to mine ores due to its level 2 mining skill.

Choose Pals with high mining stats like Diglett or Reptiro for efficient coal mining. To check the mining level of your Pals in Palworld, you can follow these steps:

1. Access Pal Information: Open the Palworld interface or menu where you can view detailed information about your Pals.
2. Navigate to Pal Stats: Look for the section that displays the individual stats and attributes of each Pal.
3. Locate Mining Skill or Level: Within the Pal stats section, find the specific category related to mining or resource gathering. This may be labelled as “Mining Level” or something similar.
4. View Mining Level: Once you have located the mining skill or level section, you should be able to view the current mining level of the Pal.
5. Utilize In-Game Help: If you encounter any difficulties in finding the mining level, consider referring to in-game guides, tutorials, or community resources for assistance.

2. Equip Your Pals With The Right Tools

Make sure your Pals have a metal pickaxe to mine coal from rocks. A higher-tier pickaxe will make the mining process quicker.

To equip your Pals with the right tools in Palworld, follow these steps:

1. Unlock the Pal Gear Workbench: Reach level 6 and craft the Pal Gear Workbench using 10 Palladium Fragments, 30 pieces of Wood, and 2 of Cloth.
2. Craft Pal Gear: Approach the Pal Gear Workbench and open the crafting menu to see which recipes are available based on captured Pals and available resources. Craft the appropriate Pal Gear for your Pals, such as metal pickaxes for mining.
3. Assign Pal Gear to Pals: Once you have crafted the Pal Gear, you can assign it to your Pals. To do this, go to the Pal Gear Workbench and select the Pal you want to equip. Choose the appropriate Pal Gear from the list and assign it to the Pal.
4. Check your Pals’ work suitability: Make sure your Pals have at least level 3 mining and transporting work suitability to mine coal.
5. Specify the source: Make sure your Pal is mining the right source by specifying the source before your Pal can start mining.

3. Check Your Pal’s Location

Both the ore and Pals must be within your base’s radius and not go outside. Make sure your Pal is within the base’s radius and not stuck or lost somewhere.

4. Reset Pals

If the Pals are not responding to the mining command, try putting them back in their box and then taking them out again. You can also try picking them up one by one and throwing them on the job you want them to do.

To reset Pals in Palworld, follow these steps:

1. Unlock the Pal Reset System: Reach level 6 and unlock the Pal Reset System in the Technology tab.
