Get more Technology Points by leveling, exploring, and using point sources deliberately; save Ancient Technology Points for Ancient unlocks instead of mixing the two systems.
Use the material calculator when the answer turns into a farming route, resource quantity, or production setup.
Open Material CalculatorThis page splits broad Technology Point searches from Ancient Technology Point pages so users do not confuse normal unlock planning with Ancient unlock planning.
Treat the direct answer above as the decision point, then follow the linked guides when the mechanic turns into a route, base setup, or material farm. Palworld 1.0 changed enough systems that old shortcuts should be checked before they become a long breeding or crafting session.
If this answer changes what you do next, turn it into a concrete resource route before leaving the page. For breeding decisions, the most relevant Pal checks are Anubis, Faleris, Jetragon.
For material planning, check Ancient Technology Points, Ancient Civilization Parts, Ore before committing to the route.This extra check matters because many Palworld questions sound like simple mechanics, but the actual time loss usually comes from the next route being underprepared.
The most common mistake after reading a short mechanic answer is stopping before the next dependency is ready. Check Anubis, Faleris, Jetragon before committing to a breeding route.The answer is useful when it changes the next action, not when it remains a fact disconnected from the player's current bottleneck.
Before turning this answer into a long session, name the dependency that would stop the plan: a parent Pal, Cake supply, egg handling, unlock currency, farming material, base slot, or worker role. That dependency tells you which linked guide deserves attention first.
If the answer sends you toward a different target than expected, stop and re-plan instead of continuing with the old checklist. Palworld routes are connected enough that one wrong assumption can waste captures, materials, incubation time, or base work.
The first mistake is mixing the two point systems. Normal Technology Points unlock regular progression items, stations, and gear. Ancient Technology Points support Ancient unlocks. Before farming anything, check which tab the target item belongs to so the route solves the right blocker.
When a regular unlock is blocked by Technology Points, treat leveling and exploration as the main route. Pick a practical goal such as improving capture speed, clearing nearby bosses, filling Paldeck entries, or pushing a material chain that gives experience while also upgrading the base.
Technology unlocks are strongest when they remove a visible bottleneck. If the base lacks Ore, unlock around mining and smelting. If travel is slow, prioritize movement and saddle progression. If breeding is the goal, unlock the stations and support items that keep Cake, eggs, and incubation moving.
Anubis is still a top target for breeding because of its handiwork value and combat utility, but Palworld 1.0 changed enough breeding data that older Penking + Bushi style routes should not be reused blindly.
FireFalerisFaleris remains a high-intent breeding search because players want a strong flying mount, but 1.0 tower-boss breeding rules should be treated carefully.
DragonJetragonJetragon is useful in Palworld 1.0 breeding because matrix rows list a child route from Jetragon plus Jetragon and outgoing paths into Bulldosu, Bushi, and Jetragon.
Ancient Technology Points are spent on Ancient Technology unlocks and are earned through progression activities such as defeating major bosses.
MaterialAncient Civilization PartsAncient Civilization Parts are a progression material separate from Ancient Civilization Cores and Ancient Technology Points.
MaterialOreOre is a core mining material used for Ingots and Refined Ingots, and it remains important throughout base and gear progression.
The best early Palworld base is flat, close to starter resources, easy to defend, and not so remote that every crafting trip becomes a commute.
OreBest mining base locations in Palworld 1.0The best mining base is close to repeatable Ore, Coal, Sulfur, or Quartz needs and has enough room for storage, transport, and production stations.
