Seriously, do drugs
I think one of the big points pal game nails that Pokémon is missing is the use of pals beyond battling and breeding. You put them to work, you want to catch certain pals because they're good at mining or crafting, you care about their stats beyond their use in combat. You're not restricted to one bicycle monster for all movement or to one monster per travel method, most pals that make sense as mounts get their pal gear, and there are noticeable enough differences between species. Higher-end pals move or fly faster, get stuff like double jumps etc, and assuming direct control of your huge pal by riding it like a war machine and using its spirit bomb to obliterate poacher camps feels great. Having your pals be basically instantly deployable vehicles you can customize is really fun.

Nothing super close, unfortunately, most of the ghost/dark designs are following later gen design ideas.

I like the trinkets that let you have some pals out in addition to the one you call out.

What's a good location for a second base? Looking to get some mining done but haven't seen anything jump out at me from flying around the map.

I found a spot near the northwest spawn locations that has a couple ore nodes plus a sulfur node and coal node close by. It's just up the cliff on the larger island southeast of those spawns



Another nice thing about this spot is that raids can only come from one direction

Make the grappling gun. Deconstruct everything and take it into your inventory. Use the grappling gun to move around while weighing a few tons, the game does not care.

That's funny, I just came to this same realization earlier today

With a flying mount I was like, "Wow this seems worthless?" but then I realized it lets you zip around the base with a full inventory :monocle:

How to make a lot of Gold

Manufacturing:
- Nails sell for 160g. 1 ingot produces 2 nails. 300 nails sell for 48k, 600 nails sell for 96k, etc. Use the money to fuel your cake factory

Super Mau Ranching:
- Maus and Mau Crysts passively generate Gold at a Ranch. Breed candidate Maus with all the work speed traits (Artisan, Lucky, Work Slave, extra slot) then condense fodder Maus into a super Mau to level its passive to level 4. Offer pal souls at the statue to further increase Work Speed. Repeat. You can dedicate an entire base to Ranching if you want.

I've not tried it myself, but apparently there's a glitch to catch the Tower bosses.

You have to get a wanted level, then go into the boss fight. If the PIDF guards aggro the boss you have a brief window to catch them.

How much gold do they dig up? I think the level 1 passive is only like 10g sacks. I was quite underwhelmed.

Any idea how many Pals can work a Ranch simultaneously?

Idk, at least 3? I have a bunch wandering around but I have gone pretty heavy into farming Mau because it's easier to buy bullets than make them.

It's probably less that Palworld is going to be some genuine Pokemon rival but that non-nintendo owners are desperately thirsty for a comparable experience and this game is going to make $300 million in the space of a few months from a team of 15-20 people before it's even officially released.

I saw it capped at 5 alpalcas before throwing any more at it they refused to graze.

Gold farming is going to be much less effective then wool farming, you need a lot of cloth later on in the tech tree.

I have some elemental Mau's, everything about the way elemental ranks work make me think they are some kind of upgrade but they are a lot more rare.

Has anyone seen the passive skill level ups work? I built a pal condenser but haven't started feeding it yet.

I think cooperate is right, I don't think 'compete' is. The honest answer is that if anything becomes a competition then you're going to have people finding ways to make it as incredibly unfun as possible in the name of optimization. Palworld wouldn't work if it was that kind of game for example, having a server where you can remove/ban people goes a long way towards keeping it tolerable.

Fair point. I do think even among cooperation there will always be competition. Some will want to be the "best" cooperator. But where that competitive energy is funnelled and applied can have a great impact on the game as a whole.

What I want from competition is different cities of people working together to make a cooler area without taking away from anyone else. Unfortunately never seen anything like that really in a game, and games already struggle loading detailed single player bases if they're build anywhere style, let alone if you can reform terrain.

If you mean their "work/job" level, that apparently does go up, but only at condense level 4, which takes 116 pals mulched into 1. Hope you've been catching lots of spares.

So, like fill 10-15% of your total inventory with spares?

lol and the costs of pal spheres just keep making less sense much less all those goddamn Vix and Lifmunks who seem to easily escape 90% success rates 3-4 times in a row.

I legitimately think something is wrong with the percentage chance, as if some factors are applying to the value shown on screen but not the underlying capture chance. It seems to be getting worse as I reach higher levels.

I was thinking it went by some % determination based on level but then I saw some low leveled elemental variants and they were 5% capture rate while comparable non-elemental ones were much, much higher.

Paldex # is probably part of the factor for sure.

I think they posted that there was a memory leak bug that was crashing the %capture rates as well, either visible or invisible.
