The Ancient Furnace is a high-tier smelting station in Palworld 1.0 that turns raw ores and materials into refined ingots. If you've pushed deep into the 1.0 tech tree and want to mass-produce advanced metals for the game's new Sunreach and World Tree gear, this is the furnace you build. It's a top-of-the-tree upgrade to your smelting setup and one of the most demanding structures to unlock.

 

What Is Ancient Furnace?

 

    The Ancient Furnace is a crafting station in the "crafting station" category, unlocked at Technology level 66. It's a production furnace that smelts various ingot types by heating materials with fire and then rapidly cooling and solidifying them with ice. Because of that heat-then-cool process, it needs Pals that bring both Kindling and Cooling to the job. Its internal asset name references "AncientBlastFurnace," and it draws a hefty 3,000 energy per second while running.

 

How to Get Ancient Furnace

 

 

    The Ancient Furnace is unlocked at Technology level 66 and then built at a base using the Handiwork workbench, which carries a substantial 1,000,000 workload. You'll need the following materials on hand before construction:

 

• Coralum Ingot x100
• Thermal Core x20
• Computer x30
• Ancient Civilization Core x10
• Workbench: Handiwork (1,000,000 workload)

 

    That workload is enormous, so plan to assign several high-level Handiwork Pals to the build and stockpile the components in advance. The Coralum Ingots in particular mean you'll already want an earlier smelting operation running before you commit to this upgrade.

 

What Ancient Furnace Is Used For

 

 

The Ancient Furnace is your endgame smelting workhorse. Its uses are:

 

• Smelts ores/materials into refined ingots — Copper, Iron, Pal Metal, Plasteel, Coralum, and other advanced ingot variants.
• Requires Pals with high-level Kindling and Cooling work suitability — because the furnace both heats and rapidly cools materials, you need Pals that cover both jobs to keep it producing efficiently.

 

Those refined ingots feed directly into the higher-end crafting you're doing at Technology level 66, so the furnace effectively becomes the backbone of your late-game material supply chain.

 

Practical tips:

• Staff the furnace with Pals that carry both high-level Kindling and Cooling suitability so neither half of the heat-then-cool cycle bottlenecks production.
• At 3,000 energy per second, make sure your base has the generation capacity to run it continuously before you rely on it for bulk smelting.
• Stockpile Coralum Ingots and the other components ahead of time — the 1,000,000 Handiwork workload is far faster to clear when materials are already sitting in storage.

 

What Ancient Furnace Is About

 

 

    The Ancient Furnace is a high-tier production furnace that smelts various ingot types. It heats materials with fire, then rapidly cools and solidifies them using ice, which is exactly why it requires Pals with both high-level Kindling and Cooling work suitability. Power consumption sits at 3,000 energy per second, making it one of the more power-hungry structures in your base, so it rewards a well-developed power grid and a strong roster of dual-suitability Pals.

 

Running your own Palworld 1.0 server

 

    Late-game structures like the Ancient Furnace are best enjoyed on a persistent world where progress never stops. A dedicated Palworld 1.0 server from gamever.io stays online 24/7 so your smelting operations keep humming even when you log off, supports full crossplay so friends can join from any platform, and includes one-click backups and updates to keep your world safe and current. That means less time wrestling with configuration and more time hauling ore, staffing Pals, and mass-producing ingots for the newest 1.0 gear.

 

Conclusion

 

    The Ancient Furnace is a genuine endgame commitment — Technology level 66, a 1,000,000 Handiwork workload, and a demanding materials list — but it pays off as a versatile smelter for Copper, Iron, Pal Metal, Plasteel, Coralum, and more. Line up your dual Kindling-and-Cooling Pals, secure your power supply, and it becomes the heart of your refined-metal production in Palworld 1.0.
