Power Up Your Base: A Guide to Deploying Work Pals in Palworld

Palworld throws you into a vibrant world where both exploration and base management are crucial for success. While venturing out to capture new Pals and gather resources is exciting, a well-functioning base is the backbone of your operations. That’s where your loyal work Pals come in! Deploying them efficiently ensures a smooth flow of production, freeing you up for thrilling adventures.

This guide delves into everything you need to know about deploying work Pals in Palworld. We’ll cover the basics, address common questions from the community, and provide tips to optimize your base workforce.

Unlocking the Pal Powerhouse: The Palbox

Before deploying work Pals, you’ll need a dedicated structure: the Palbox. This marvel of Palworld technology unlocks at Technology Level 2. Here’s how to get yours up and running:

1. Research and Develop: Head over to the Research Center and spend 1 Technology Point to learn the Palbox recipe.
2. Building Your Palbox: Enter Build Mode, navigate to the “Pal” category, and locate the Palbox.
3. Gathering Materials: To construct your Palbox, you’ll need:
   • 1x Paldium Fragment
   • 8x Wood
   • 3x Stone
4. Placement and Construction: Choose a strategic location within your base for your Palbox. Once placed, use the gathered materials to build it.

Congratulations! You’re now ready to house and deploy your work Pals.

Deploying Your Work Pals: A Simple Process

With your Palbox in place, deploying work Pals is a breeze:

1. Interact with the Palbox: Approach the Palbox and interact with it using the designated button (typically “F” on PC).
2. Pal Management Interface: This opens the Pal Management interface, showcasing two sections:
   • Pal Storage (Top): This area displays your captured Pals not currently deployed for work.
   • Pal at the Base (Bottom): This section has designated slots for Pals assigned to work within your base.
3. Drag and Drop Deployment: Simply select a Pal from the storage section and drag them down to one of the empty slots in the “Pal at the Base” section.
4. Work Activation: The chosen Pal will appear near you and automatically head towards a worksite within your base that aligns with their skills.

Note: Pals can be reassigned at any time by dragging them back to the storage section and deploying a new Pal in their slot.

Common Questions Answered: Addressing Your Deployment Concerns

The Palworld community has raised some questions regarding work Pal deployment. Let’s tackle the most common ones:

• My Pal isn’t Working! There are a couple of possibilities:
  • No Available Workstations: Ensure you have constructed workstations that match your Pal’s skillset. For example, a Miner Pal needs a Mining Rig.
  • Full Workstations: If a workstation is already occupied by another Pal with the same skill, your deployed Pal might be waiting for an available slot.
• Can I Choose Specific Tasks for My Pals? Currently, Palworld doesn’t allow for assigning specific tasks within a workstation type. However, Pals with higher skill levels tend to be more efficient.
• Is There a Limit to the Number of Work Pals I Can Deploy? The number of deployable work Pals is directly tied to the number of available slots in your Palbox. Upgrade your Palbox for more deployment options.
• What Happens if My Pal Gets Injured While Working? Don’t worry! Pals working within your base are not susceptible to injury. However, Pals adventuring with you can get hurt. Make sure to carry healing items for such situations.

Optimizing Your Workforce: Tips for Peak Performance

Now that you’ve mastered deployment, let’s explore strategies to maximize your base’s productivity:

• Matching Skills to Workstations: Always prioritize deploying Pals whose skills align with available workstations. This ensures they work efficiently and maximize output.
• Prioritize Upgrades: Invest in upgrading your workstations. Higher-tier workstations allow for faster production and potentially handle multiple Pals simultaneously.
• Pal Variety is Key: While specializing in specific resource production is tempting, consider having a diverse range of Pals with different skills. This allows you to adapt your base’s production to your current needs.
• Don’t Forget Food and Rest: While Pals working within your base aren’t susceptible to injury, they still need food and rest. Ensure you have a steady supply of food and designated rest areas for your Pals to maintain optimal performance.

FAQs

Q: How do I deploy a work pal to my base in Palworld?

A: Deploying work pals is a breeze! Here’s a quick guide:

1. Unlock the Palbox: You’ll need to reach Technology Level 2 and spend a Tech Point to learn the Palbox recipe.
2. Build the Palbox: Head into build mode, find the Palbox under the “Pal” category, and place it on the ground. Construct it using 1x Paldium Fragment, 8x Wood, and 3x Stone.
3. Assign Pals to Work: Interact with the Palbox to open its management menu. Drag and drop a Pal from your storage (top section) or party (bottom section) into one of the circles at the bottom labelled “Pal at the Base.”
4. Watch them Work!: The Pal will appear near you and head towards a suitable worksite in your base.

Q: My Pal isn’t working! Is the deployment broken?

A: Most likely not! Pals will autonomously find tasks based on their skills. If you see your Pal seemingly idle, it might be:

• No Available Tasks: Ensure you have workstations built that match your Pal’s skillset (e.g., crafting stations for crafting Pals).
• Full Inventory: If your Pal’s inventory is full of resources, they can’t collect more and might appear idle.

Q: Can I choose what tasks my work pals do?

A: While automatic assignment works well, you can take more control! Here’s how:

• Direct Assignment: Approach a workstation and interact with it. You’ll see an option to assign a specific Pal from your party or Palbox.

Q: What are some good Pals to use as workers in my base?

A: Pals with skills that align with your base’s needs are ideal. Here are some examples:

• Crafting: Pals with high crafting skills will be more efficient at crafting stations.
• Farming: Pals with strong agricultural skills will excel attending to crops and gathering resources.
• Mining: Assign mining-proficient Pals to extract valuable resources from your mines.

Q: Is there a way to see how my work pals are performing?

A: Unfortunately, there’s no built-in performance tracker yet. However, you can keep an eye on their progress by observing their activity and checking resource stockpiles.
