How We Rank
Our rankings combine in-game data with hands-on gameplay experience. Each Pal is evaluated on:
- Work Efficiency — work suitability level (higher = faster resource output)

- Accessibility — how early and easily you can obtain this Pal
- Food Efficiency — lower food drain means more uptime
Scores are expert-assessed based on actual gameplay testing. Only Pals withmining ≥ 2 are included.
