Palworld's latest patch fixes bugs, buffs the letter F, leaves the nail economy in shambles, and lets you generate volcanic heat with 4 campfires

Palworld's continuing to get updates since its whirlwind success—one that's seen it hit the 25 million player mark (though that number does include Game Pass subscribers) in a mere month and a half.

The latest patch helps you continue to be the very best (that no one ever was) by adding a whole Paldeck's worth of fixes, tweaks, and improvements. For starters—while most players will eventually get their own great industrial machines churning in time, it's often necessary to help your pals out with the crafting thing early on.

Doing so required you to press F to craft respects—I mean, Pal Spheres—and hold the button down. Considering your piddly crafting speed at the outset, this was annoying. Now there's an option to change this to a toggle, so you can go and make a grilled cheese while your trainer experiences a fraction of the hard labour they're about to inflict on their poor pals.

Nails are no longer a game-busting source of income. For those uninitiated to the cult of nail capitalism, nails used to sell for a hefty 160 gold a pop—which is a lot for the two piddly ores used to smelt the ingots to make them. The patch notes even call the sell price «abnormally high». If you'd stockpiled nails before the patch: I'm sorry, they've depreciated in value. That's what you get for using speculative currency.

Pocketpair's also been putting in the work to stop your pals from getting stuck on goddamn everything. Logging sites, base borders, farm roofs, and Palboxes should all be less lethal to your production line. Another significant update is that sources of heat—such as campfires or running-hot pals—now stack with each other. 

«If you put 4 campfires next to each other, the surrounding area will have the temperature of a volcano». Now, I'm not sure if that's how that works in real life, since lava has an average temperature of 1,000 degrees centigrade, but I'm also not a scientist, so what do I know? You can find a full list of the patch notes below.
