As you play Palworld, a large portion of your time will be spent gathering materials and resources to upgrade your gear, improve your base, and create various structures that serve different purposes. Thankfully, you’re not alone in this task – your pals are there to assist with many of the jobs around your base.

While pals are helpful in collecting nearby resources and handling tasks at the base, there will be times when you need to seek out specific materials on your own. Ore is especially important for crafting and building. With the latest update, a new tool, the Metal Detector, has been introduced to help you locate more ore, making the search much easier.
The Metal Detector is a new tool that you can craft in the game after the Feybreak update, and in order to craft it, there are a few things you need to do.
The first step is unlocking the recipe for the Metal Detector, which requires you to reach level 56 with your character.
After you reach that level, open the menu, head to the Technology section, and scroll down until you spot the Metal Detector recipe at level 56. Unlock it using Technology points.
With the recipe unlocked, you need the proper production structure to craft it: the Production Assembly Line 2.
Like the Weapon Assembly Line 2, the Production Assembly Line 2 requires power to function.
To supply this power, you’ll need at least one Power Generator with an Electric Pal assigned to it. This will provide the necessary power for the structure to work.
With everything set up, it’s time to craft the Metal Detector. Head to the Production Assembly Line 2, interact with it, locate the Metal Detector, and craft it using the following materials:
As the name suggests, the Metal Detector helps you detect hidden nearby ore within the vicinity. It sends out a wave that scans your surroundings, allowing you to locate ores that are otherwise hard to spot.
