material cost

Material cost calculator

Target recipes are extracted from PalDB item pages. Select targets and quantities, total the materials, then use the resource-chain card to identify the bottleneck.

Player job

Go from “what do I want to make” directly to “what am I missing” and “which production chain should I fix”.

Target

Select targets to show total materials and bottleneck.

Ore / ingot is highestMining, smelting or transport may be the bottleneck.Open work suitability
Wood / charcoal is highestLumbering and the gunpowder chain may slow ammunition preparation.Open resource chain
Cake ingredients are highestThe ranch / farm chain is the hidden breeding-prep bottleneck.Back to breeding tool
Multiple items are highSplit the work into short-term supplies and long-term base upgrades.Open technology tracker

Common preparation scenarios

ScenarioSuggested selectionWhen reading results
Capturing many Pals in one tripThe matching sphere tier, after estimating expected spheres in the capture tool.Besides sphere cost, account for supplies and return-to-base cost.
Breeding in bulkCake.Milk, Egg and Honey come from ranch/farm production, so confirm your farm Pals first.
Preparing for a bossAmmo for the relevant weapon.The gunpowder chain (Sulfur + Charcoal) can become the bottleneck.
Stockpiling before 1.0Do not select everything at once; run separate capture, breeding and combat passes.Avoid turning every shortage into one unmanageable list.
