A metal pal ? Hell yes .. Please

God I'd love some pal dropping ores in the ranch, i'm tired of grinding that copper !
Let me build a base with 15 pals generating ores, hell yeah !

You can build a base on a spot with 6 ore chunks and have your pals farm it for you tho.

This. Though, a pal made out of metal would be fun regardless

Doesn't work on some servers / in solo, I'm afraid

On a server, if there's 0 people online, every pals stop working and just AFK until someones connect
In singleplayer as soon as you go too far they seem to stop somehow

EDIT : It also doesn't seem right in online for a single player to occupy an entire ore spawn, even sometimes two

[Pyro Penguin]

yeah but then the same thing would happen to the one in the ranch, still a good idea though

Incineram is already pretty metal

For single player, make sure your mining base is always the one you visited last. The game seems to only simulate a limited number of Pals at a time, so it'll probably only keep one of your bases running when you're not there, and it seems to decide based on which base was the last one loaded. So if you visit one of your other bases, it will unload the mining base.

Yep, this. I did this a few days ago and have 0 ore problems since.

This hasn't been my experience. I play single player and always have mined ore ready for me when I go back to my dedicated mining base. Not sure if the range of "far away" is just farther than I've been going or what but I've been half way across the map and my guys keep mining for me.

There's three Pals that I feel would have been nice to have as a Metal typing; Paladius, Necromus, and Astegon. They also all happen to be three of the four Pals that drop Pal Metal Ingots (the 4th being Shadowbeak).

Wouldn't be completely impossible for this were highly subject to resource constraints (e.g. if the game decides various limits based on how much system RAM is available, or however fast it can process Pal behaviors unspawning them if it can't maintain a certain rate).

i just read "mental pal"....

[LanceEteryu]

I want to have pals that drop all the organs more honestly. That, and leather. I want a reliable source of leather that doesn't require me to go hunting for leather dropping pals or buying it.

[HolyKnight]

Get a base near 6+ chunk of ore, find or breed 5 pals with mine foreman, enjoy doing over 200+ damage to the node per strike, takes under 5 minutes per spawn.

I too would still love to have a metal pal that ♥♥♥♥ ingots in the farm, but I found ways to work around it.
