Bases are a huge part of being successful
in Palworld. They will allow you to accumulate resources
and produce essential items quickly and efficiently. The three most important aspects of making
a great base are location, design, and choosing the right Pals for the job, all of which will
be covered in this guide. As usual, useful timestamps can be found in
the video description. Going into this, the current number of bases
that can be built in a single world is three, with each allowing for a maximum of 20 Pals. This guide will cover the locations and setup
of the three bases, and at the end, we’ll go over some other useful tips that don’t
really fit in elsewhere in the video. Starting off, our first base is going to be
our home base. It is the largest and most complicated, and
therefore will take up the biggest part of the video. This is where we will have our own beds to
sleep at, as well as run the majority of our production operations. Because of that, we want to pick a location
that is large and flat, free of trees, rocks, or other farmable materials. I really like this beachside location, situated
right next to the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings Fast Travel Point. In my experience, I’ve also found that this
location never seems to be raided. Even though it doesn’t appear to be raid
proof, it has never been targeted in all my time playing. Once you’ve chosen a location, you’ll
need to be very deliberate when placing your Palbox. The best placement is that which will result
in the most flat land being within the base’s perimeter. With that handled, we can start building infrastructure. First off are the Pal Beds. We will want to put these grouped up, near
the perimeter of the base. This will ensure that they are out of the
way and take up as little space as possible. We need to build a bed for every Pal that
will be working here to ensure that they don’t become stressed. Nearby, we can also build a small house for
our own bed and those for any friends we may be playing with. I also like to build other miscellaneous items
in this general vicinity, such as the Statue of Power, Pal Essence Condenser, and Monitoring
Stand. One last thing we need to make sure we build
are Feed Boxes. These will be used by working Pals to stay
fed, which is important to ensure their overall health and productivity. We can place one down just about anywhere
for now, then move it and build more as we go along. Next up, we will move on to resource stations
that can be worked by Pals for various materials. A key aspect to keep in mind while building
is that we need to space them apart. If different stations are placed too closely,
it can make it difficult to assign a Pal to a particular station. With that said, we will first build some plantations
for food production. Berry Plantations are the first available,
and four of them will provide more than enough berries to keep all Pals at the base fed,
as well as produce a surplus. We can also build the other plantations as
they become available at higher levels. Three Wheat Plantations, two Tomato Plantations,
and two Lettuce Plantations appear to be enough to keep this base very well stocked with food,
as well as provide a huge surplus for supplying secondary bases. I should also mention that each of the Plantations
will require 3 of their corresponding seeds in order to get started. The Wandering Merchant at the Small Settlement
sells Berry and Wheat Seeds, and the Wandering Merchant at Duneshelter sells Lettuce and
Tomato Seeds. Now let’s talk about the Pals needed to
do this work. Those being Planting, Watering, Gathering,
and Transporting. For 3 of those suitabilities, we can rely
almost exclusively on Verdash. These Pals can be bred by mating either Lamballs
or Cattivas with Penking, of which there is a Penking Dungeon right next to this base
location. They can also be bred by mating Chikipis with
Cinnamoths. If you want a more thorough explanation on
how breeding works in Palworld, I have a separate guide covering that topic, you can find a
link to it in this video’s description. The other Pals we will want are Azurobe for
their level 3 Watering. We can breed Azurobe by pairing Penking with
Cinnamoths. They can also be found around level 20, within
the No.1 Wildlife Preservation zone, which is southwest of the Plateau of Beginnings
Fast Travel Point. Just be sure you aren’t seen by any PIDF
Infantry while poaching in this restricted area. For my base, two Azurobe and two Verdash seem
to do a good job at running the plantations, although more are welcome if you have space
for them. Nearby, we will also want to build a Mill,
which is used to turn Wheat into Flour, an important baking ingredient. A Crusher is another necessary station, which
is used to turn Stone into Paldium and Wood into Fiber. Both of these stations also require a Pal
with the Watering Work Suitability to operate. Nearby accessory structures that we can build
include a Feed Box to store produce and feed nearby Pals, Cooking Pots, and a Cooler Box. The Cooler Box requires a Cooling Pal, and
Sweepas can fill this role. They are found around level 17, near the Investigator’s
Fork Fast Travel Point. A little towards the interior of the base
we put down a ranch. Certain Pals can be assigned to the ranch
to produce important materials or food ingredients. Lamballs will produce Wool, Chikipis lay eggs,
Mozzarina make milk, and Beegardes give us Honey. Of these, only the Mozzarina and Beegardes
are not ubiquitous or easy to find. Mozzarina can be found northwest of the Ravine
Entrance Fast Travel Point, whereas Beegardes are found frequently near the Snowy Mountain
Fork Fast Travel Point. Moving down the line, we can set up a Stone
Pit. It will supply a steady stream of stones to
build structures and generate Paldium through the Crusher. Anubis are great Pals for both Handiwork and
Mining, and an easy way we can breed them are by pairing Cinnamoth and Vanwyrm. Cinnamoths are found around level 20 all around
the Cinnamoth Forest Fast Travel Point, and Vanwyrms are found around level 15 near the
Sealed Realm of the Swordmaster Fast Travel Point. A little further down the line we can build
a Logging Site, which will produce a steady stream of Wood for building purposes, or to
be processed into Fiber by the Crusher. The Logging Site can be worked by any Pals
with the Logging Work Suitability. That means Verdash are fully capable of filling
this role. Now is a good time to mention that we will
also need to build Hot Springs to help keep up Pal Sanity. Regular ones are fine, but High Quality Hot
Springs are much better if you are level 31 or higher. I’ve found that 2 High Quality Hot Springs
do the job well enough for a fully stocked base with 20 Pals. You may have noticed that Cement is required
for the High Quality Springs. Cement is made at a High Quality Workbench
(or Production Assembly Line), which we will get to in a moment. We need 50 Stones, 1 Bone, and 1 Pal Fluid
to make 10 Cement. Stones are already covered, but Bones and
especially Pal Fluid are a bit harder to come by, making Cement a fairly limited resource. For Bones, we can actually buy them from the
Wandering Merchant, located within the nearby Small Settlement. They are only 100 Gold Coins each, so stocking
up on them should not be much of an issue. Pal Fluids are much more limited. As far as I know, the only way to get Pal
Fluid is by either defeating or capturing water-type Pals. My favorite location to farm Pal Fluid is
along the coastline that runs south of the Azurobe Hill Fast Travel Point. Next up, let’s talk about what to build
near the center of the base. Given that we will be bringing in resources
from our secondary bases, it is a good idea to build chests as close as possible to the
Palbox. We can also build a Repair Station and the
best available Furnace, which in my case is an Electric Furnace. We will then need to build a Power Generator
near the Pal Beds to provide the necessary Electricity for a high level base. This is a good point to cover Kindling and
Generating Electricity Work Suitabilities. For Kindling, Jormuntide Ignis are the best
option. These are pretty tough to get. The only way to breed Jormuntide Ignis is
by pairing two of them together. Alternatively, they can rarely be hatched
from Huge Dragon Eggs found in the wild, which is probably the most readily accessible method
of getting one. They can also be found at the No. 2 Wildlife
Sanctuary, which is west of the Forgotten Island Fast Travel Point. That being said, they spawn in around level
40, making them very difficult to capture. For Electricity needs, I use Rayhounds. These can be found in the northern desert
regions, but are much easier to breed by combining a Melpaca and Anubis. Given that we should already have 1 or more
Anubis from breeding, and with how easy Melpaca are to find, this should be a pretty easy
breeding combo to do. We want to make sure we have two Rayhounds
in the base to provide electricity, this is so that they can switch off when they get
hungry or need to take a break. Moving on, not too far off from the Palbox,
we have a Breeding Farm set up for producing Pal Eggs, and behind that, there is a collection
of Incubators spaced varying distances from a rudimentary heat source, the campfire. With everything covered so far, we should
be able to produce plenty of Cakes, which are then stored in the Breeding Farm container
to enable said breeding. The eggs can then be hatched in the Incubators,
and we want to place the Rocky and Scorching eggs closer to the fire, and the Frozen and
Damp eggs further away. This is not an ideal setup for hatching eggs,
but it is more than sufficient in a pinch. Nearing the end of this base’s structures,
we have our major item manufacturing stations. Being level 45, I have access to the higher
tech versions of these various stations, but you can build the best you have access to
at your current level, then upgrade them as you are able to. First is the basic Workbench or Production
Assembly Line. We will also need Sphere, as well as Weapon
Workbenches or Assembly Lines. Remember, we want these spaced far enough
apart so that we can easily assign Pals to work at specific stations if and when needed. We can also build Medicine and Pal Gear Workbenches
around this area. With their Level 4 Handiwork Capability, Anubis
are the best Pals to have working at any of these stations, which we’ve covered getting
earlier in this video. That being said, for the Medicine Workbench,
we will need a more specific Pal that has Medicine Production Capability. My best one at the moment is Petallia, and
these can be produced by breeding Melpaca with Vanwyrm. Melpacas are fairly ubiquitous in low-level
zones, and as mentioned previously, Vanwyrms are found around level 15 near the Sealed
Realm of the Swordmaster Fast Travel Point. Finally, after all the essentials are built,
we can make some accessory structures that will increase Pal efficiency at various tasks. The Large Toolbox improves Handiwork efficiency
and the Flower Bed improves Gathering Efficiency. As a quick aside, Beautiful Flowers can be
found in any of the Wildlife Preservation Zones. Then we have the Silo for Planting, the Stump
and Axe for Logging, and the Pickaxe and Helmet for Mining. That covers everything for our Home Base. Our remaining two bases will both be similar
to each other and much simpler in that they will be dedicated almost exclusively to resource
farming. For my purposes, I mainly wanted Ore and Coal. The ideal locations for these secondary bases
will be those with plenty of the desired resource. An added bonus is if those locations are up
on plateaus or other out-of-reach areas, which will make them raid-proof. The first of these locations is a must. It is on a plateau that is east and a little
north of the Sealed Realm of the Guardian Fast Travel Point. This spot is rich with coal and ore deposits,
and is completely raid-proof. Because our only goal here is to mine these
deposits, our setup will be a lot more straight-forward. To start, we can place a Palbox at the center
of the coal and ore deposits. We should put a single container as close
to the Palbox as possible, and this is where ore and coal will be brought to. We will want beds for all the Pals, and these
can be spread out or grouped up, it probably doesn’t matter either way. Next, we want at least one High Quality Hot
Spring to stave off stress and a couple of Feed Boxes spaced a fair distance apart. We will need to manually stock these Feed
Boxes with food in order to keep the Pals here well-fed. Finally, we need the Pals. Anubis are the best for mining the deposits,
and Vanwyrms are great transporters. A 1 to 1 ratio of Anubis and Vanwyrms will
efficiently harvest and transport the coal and ore to the single container, I have 9
or 10 of each stationed here. We can then make periodic trips to grab the
harvested ore and coal, bringing it back to our home base for processing into various
usable materials. My second farming base is fairly similar to
the first and is located on the plateau to the southeast of the Sealed Realm of the Swift
Fast Travel Point. The difference with this location is that
there are less resource deposits to gather, and this one is limited to ore. Because of that, there is also a Ranch set
up here for Mozzarinas and Chikipis to produce Milk and Eggs. This helps alleviate the need to manually
bring over food from the home base. One unfortunate aspect of this location is
that it is near a pool of water, which pals have the tendency to get stuck in. Now, if you want gunpowder, you may consider
setting up a base near the Eternal Pyre Tower Entrance Fast Travel Point, where multiple
Sulfur Deposits can be found. However, this may require two layers of heat-protective
gear, both of which can be purchased from the Green Dune Shelter Wandering Merchant. He also sells equivalent gear for withstanding
cold temperatures. On the other hand, if you want a Pure Quartz
farm, you’ll need to set up operations somewhere in the northern mountainous region, north
of the No Man’s Trail Fast Travel Point. Quartz deposits look sort of like geodes that
have been turned inside-out. I haven’t found any specific spots where
there are large groupings of Quartz deposits. However, given that Quartz is not really needed
for any consumables, I would argue that you are better off getting it manually and as
needed for the production of end-game crafting stations and Pal-Gear. Okay, with all of that covered, let’s go
over some additional tips that don’t really fit elsewhere in the video. First, you can actually capture Merchants
of various types and then summon them at will in order to purchase items from them. You will get a bounty if you do this, but
all that you have to do to get rid of the bounty is respawn or otherwise get knocked
down. The current Merchants that I am aware of can
be found in Duneshelter, the Small Settlement, and Fisherman’s Point. These merchants can also be a great way to
stock up on certain materials, such as Bones or High Quality Pal Oil. Another tip is about transferring huge stacks
of materials, or anything while over your max weight. Even if you are so weighed down that you cannot
move, you can force movement with the Grappling Gun. Doing this does carry a risk of getting caught
on objects though, at which point the quickest way to get unstuck is by respawning. The last tip I have is more of a warning and
an unfortunate buggy aspect about Palworld. It’s when Pals get stuck on objects or fall
through the ground while at a base. This will make them unable to complete tasks
and go hungry, eventually getting sick and/or becoming incapacitated. The only way that I know of to stop this is
to keep an eye out for it. If you see it happening, move the Pal from
the base into your Palbox or party, then back to the base. That should fix it, at least until it inevitably
happens again. If you have any questions, you can reach out
