How to Craft Polymer

To battle with guns alongside your Pals, you're going to need Polymer. This craftable resource is vital for creating everything from a Circuit Board to an Assault Rifle in Palworld. Follow this guide to learn how to craft it and what you'll need.

How to Unlock the Recipe for Polymer

The Polymer recipe becomes unlockable at Player Level 33 in the Technology tab of the menu, and it costs 2 Technology Points to acquire. "Made from refined oil," the description reads, "required for producing various advanced items such as rifles."

If you haven't hit Level 33 yet, catch 10 of every Pal you encounter — you get an escalating XP bonus for every subsequent Pal, and you can check progress in your Paldeck. Unlocking more fast travel points also grants Technology Points.

You'll also need to unlock and build a Production Assembly Line to actually craft Polymer. It costs 3 Technology Points at Level 28, so you should have it before you reach Polymer. The Assembly Line requires electricity and Pals with the Handiwork trait to run.

All you need to craft Polymer is some High-Quality Pal Oil, which drops from the following Pals:

Woolipop (034)
Dumud (043)
Grintale (052)
Digtoise (067)
Flambelle (070)
Elphidran (080)
Relaxaurus (085)
Mammorest (090)
Quivern (095)

As with most Pal-based resources, the most efficient way to farm High-Quality Pal Oil is to catch a bunch of these Pals (don't defeat them in combat) and then butcher them using a Meat Cleaver. This lets you double dip on the loot while keeping only the Pals with beneficial traits.
