Give Paldium a permanent input line
Start with renewable Stone feeding the Crusher and staff the mining, watering and transporting stages. The acquired default recipe is 5 Stone→1 Paldium Fragment. A stockpile of ore or an idle crusher is not a functioning line; check the input and worker before adding another machine.
Use other methods for their actual advantage
| Method | When useful |
|---|---|
| Dungeon/deposit mining | A current-session burst while collecting other exploration rewards |
| Expeditions | Spare eligible teams can bring direct fragments/spheres |
| Merchant | A small urgent deficit when Gold is cheaper than the detour |
| Cryogenic sphere recycling | Recover value from obsolete spheres |
| Ore/meteorite alternate recipe | Convert an existing surplus instead of mining a new input |
Known recycling values in the supplied catalog
| Sphere | Paldium per recorded conversion |

| Giga | 2 |
| Hyper | 3 |

Calculate the whole target
For a large structure or equipment run, expand all recipes together and subtract finished intermediates you already own. The v1.0.3 oil-building costs changed; an older claim that a pump alone needs 250 Pal Metal Ingots should be checked against the current snapshot rather than copied. Choose the specific Paldium alternate recipe in the resource planner; a sphere→Paldium→sphere cycle is not free materials.
