As an early-access game, Palworld will only improve over time. And some big improvements are already set to come in the game’s next big update, according to the developer Pocketpair.
Pocketpair community manager Bucky teased a huge quality-of-life change today when it comes to managing the Pals at your base, and it’s something that has been on player wishlists since the game launched two months ago.
Some Pals have multiple Work Suitabilities, like Penking, who offers Watering, Handiwork, Mining, Cooling, and Transporting. Left to their own devices, though, the Pals can sometimes get sidetracked from the job you want them to do.
Thankfully for players, as seen in the image above, the Work Suitabilities will soon be customizable. With the Monitoring Stand item, players will be able to pick and choose which Work Suitability each Pal will focus on, meaning Pals with only one Work Suitability are about to lose a whole lot of value.
This should make base management, resource management, farming, and more important mechanics of the survival game way more easy and manageable than before.
Earlier today, Pocketpair announced that Palworld‘s next major update will include its first raid battle against an “evil” Pal named Bellanoir. Bucky has confirmed that this upgrade for the Monitor Stand will be included in that same update.
In the Twitter replies, Bucky also teased another potential addition as a way to get Pal Fluids more easily. The resource is scarce, with most players simply farming and killing water-type Pals to grab the item that’s needed to craft multiple important other resources.
In subsequent months and updates, it’s expected that even more changes will be coming to Palworld to enhance the game that’s already been a smash hit with tens of millions of players around the world in 2024.
For now, Palworld’s raid update is tentatively “coming soon” with no official date given just yet.
