Turning Off One Palworld Setting Will Save You A Lot Of Headache

can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. For one thing, the monster-collecting, base-building game relies heavily on severely flawed Pal AI, which the player has little ability to control. As a result, it has endless potential for frustration: accidental killing of wild Pals, Pals getting stuck in weird behaviors, or even Pals eating the fried egg a player was saving for later.

But while a player can't always control what their Pals do, it turns out they can temper some of ’s frustrations with the click of a button.

The base's center is determined by the placement of the Palbox that established it. Structures take up a lot of space, so players have to economize on unnecessary improvements.
