Build a Palbox to Establish a Base
Once you have gathered a sufficient amount of materials, set up a Palbox to build your base. By constructing a Palbox, the location becomes your base. At the base, you can put your Pals to work and use it as a Fast Travel point.

Relocating your base is easy
Since you don't lose materials or Pals when disassembling or destroying buildings or Palbox, it's easy to move bases in the early stages of the game with few materials. However, as materials increase, the hassle of moving also increases, so it's best to set up the first base on open land.

How to Level Up
Things Beginners Should Remember
| Your Character is bound to one world |
| Status decreases when hunger is low |
| Having a base with ample space and resources is recommended |
| Check Pal's work suitability |
| Use torches to combat low temperatures |
Your Character is bound to one world
In Palworld, the character you create only applies to one world. When playing multiplayer, you cannot bring characters from other worlds.

Weight is Recommended for Stats
In the early game, it is recommended to focus on weight for stats. Having weight allows you to carry more items, making building and exploration easier.
| Best Stats and How to Respec |
Status Decreases with Low Hunger
When hunger is low, both the player and Pal's stats decrease. From the beginning, start automating food production at your base to ensure a stable food supply. Additionally, cooking ingredients on a Campfire or similar increases their effectiveness. It's better to provide cooked food whenever possible.
| How to Get Food |
HP Decreases When Hunger is Empty
When Hunger gauge reaches 0, HP gradually decreases. While you won't die from hunger, you will easily die from other causes for having your HP reduced to 1. So, always maintain hunger above a certain level.
| How to Feed Pals and Eat Food |
Having a base with ample space and resources is recommended
When constructing a base, it is recommended to choose a location with a decent amount of wood and rocks within the base and a spacious area. Building a base in a location with significant height differences can make it inconvenient, as facilities may not be constructed.

Check the Work Suitability of your Pal
Once you capture a Pal, check the Work Suitability from your Party, Palbox, or Paldeck. The higher the level of work suitability, the more adept the Pal is at the corresponding tasks. Having each designated Pal ready will allow for efficient gameplay.

Combat low temperatures with torches
Starting points in the game may become cold at night, but you can avoid low temperatures by setting up a campfire or carrying a torch. It is also recommended to make a bed early and spend the night sleeping.

Level up easier by capturing Pals
