In Palworld, progress efficiency will greatly change depending on whether you can change your base from a “place to operate” to a “place where you can leave it alone and continue to generate resources.”
However, bases that are not built with the premise of being left alone are
- Pal stops midway
- Work gets stuck
- Nothing is progressing when I log in
.
In this article, we will focus on
base configurations that do not break easily even if left unused for a long time .
Basic philosophy of abandoned specialized base
The following three points are important for abandoned bases.
- AI doesn’t get lost
- Work is less likely to be interrupted
- Does not assume player operation
Prioritize
stability over appearance and scalability.
Location conditions suitable for abandoned bases
Choose a completely flat area
- Less steps
- No ups and downs
- Easy to remove obstacles
In places with slopes or height differences,
AI is more likely to stop when left unused.
Do not use the base range to the maximum
- Do not place equipment until the end of the range
- Gather towards the center
At the edge of the range, the pal tends to go out,
and may not be able to return.
Thoughts on layout for neglect
Thoroughly define 1 area and 1 role
An abandoned base
A base where you can do anything is a source of accidents.
Recommended configuration:
- Agricultural base
- Mining and smelting base
- Dedicated production base
By separating roles,
work conflicts and AI judgment errors can be prevented.
Passage is straight, no branches
- You can come and go on a single road
- Eliminate bends as much as possible
Route recalculation is reduced,
AI is stabilized.
Basically, ceilings and walls are not made
- The ceiling is the cause of hit detection problems
- Walls are easy to get caught
Specializing in neglect
Outdoors + minimal enclosure is the most stable.
Recommended work configuration for neglect
Agricultural placement
- Close arrangement of fields and water sources
- Place the storage box right next to the field
- Only agricultural specialized pals are placed
It is important to have a structure where harvesting and storage do not stop.
Extraction and fine grain placement
- Mining equipment → Smelting → Straight line arrangement of storage
- Minimize the distance for transporting heavy objects
The longer the transport distance, the greater the
risk of stopping midway.
Make placement
- Separate production tables by use
- Place material boxes next to each workbench
It will be more stable if you avoid shared storage.
Characteristics of Pal that are suitable for leaving alone
- Specialized for a single task
- Movement speed is stable
- Size is not extremely large
Fixed-role pals are better suited to being left alone than all-purpose types.
Check before leaving it unattended
- Are all pals working
- Are there any stuck individuals?
- Is the storage space full?
Just checking for 30 seconds before leaving it unattended will greatly reduce the failure rate.
Common neglect failure patterns
Increase the number of pals too much
The processing load increases and
the whole process is likely to stop.
Build with emphasis on appearance
Decorations, steps, and pillars are not necessary for abandoned bases.
Make it a versatile base
A work priority conflict will occur.
Summary: It is important to “divide” abandoned bases
- Throw away your appearance
- Narrow down your role
- Summary in one direction
If you keep these three points in mind,
You will be able to create a base where resources will steadily increase even when you are logged out.
