Palworld is an open-world survival game where players interact with strange creatures known as Pals. These creatures are used for combat, labor, and production. In harsh environments filled with threats like food shortages and poachers, players must gather resources, build shelter, and defend themselves. Pals can be bred, sold, worked to exhaustion, or even consumed when survival requires it. The player decides how far to go in order to stay alive in a world that does not protect the weak.
Industry, Automation, and Control
Players can create farms, factories, and complex production chains by assigning Pals to different roles. Certain Pals specialize in planting, harvesting, or watering crops, while others are better suited for mining or power generation. By expanding facilities and removing limits on labor, players can scale their base into an efficient, self-sustaining system. Automation depends on keeping Pals working constantly, and as long as they’re fed, they’ll keep operating—no rest required. The system rewards efficiency but allows morally gray decisions without consequence.
Exploration and Risk Management
With the help of Pals, players can explore land, sea, and air. Some Pals serve as mounts, opening access to new areas and dungeons filled with rare resources or dangerous enemies. Pals are also used in combat, sometimes acting as a shield for the player in life-threatening moments. In restricted regions, valuable Pals are protected by law, but players can take risks, break rules, and profit from illegal capture. Whether building a peaceful farm or raiding forbidden zones, Palworld gives full control over how players interact with the world and the creatures within it.
