Base Building Overview
| Basics of Base Building in Palworld |
|---|
| The base is formed in a circular area with the Palbox at the center. |
| Build on a flat surface as much as possible. |
| Expand the base at levels 10 and 15. |
| Always place a Pal bed and a feed box. |
| Automate the gathering of materials and food. |
| Build the base in a location where desired materials are available. |
| Consider defense once production facilities are in place. |
The Palbox is at the Center of the Base
In Palworld, the base is formed with the circular area centered around the Palbox. Since it can be troublesome to move the Palbox later, make sure to confirm that it is in the desired range before placing other items.
Build on a Flat Surface as Much as Possible
It is recommended to build the base on a flat surface as much as possible. If the location has slopes or steps, it can be difficult to place buildings properly, and Pals may get stuck on the steps, causing issues. Unless there is a special reason, build the base on a flat surface.

Expand the Base at Levels 10 and 15
When the base level reaches 10 or 15, you can increase the number of bases as a reward. In the early stages, your equipment and Pals are not developed enough to be picky about the location, so start by building a base nearby and increasing the level. Once you can expand the base, find a good location and create a new base.

Automate the Gathering of Materials and Food
In the base, captured Pals can work to automate the gathering of materials and food. This is one of the main reasons for building a base, so once you have a base, create mining, logging, and production facilities to automate various tasks.

Place Pal Bed and Feed Box
When creating a base, be sure to place a feed box with food and a bed for every working Pal. Without a bed, Pals cannot sleep, and without a feed box, they will not automatically eat, causing their SAN and hunger to suffer, leading to illness or near-death.

Arrange items according to their required proficiency
When efficiently placing structures in your base, grouping items with the same required proficiency reduces Pals' movement and allows for more efficient operation. Consider grouping things like cooking pots and furnaces that require kindling, or farms and crushers that require watering, to minimize Pal's movement.

Place chests near production facilities
Items produced in production facilities are transported by Pals. Therefore, if you have chests near your production facilities, the distance for transportation is reduced, allowing chests to be filled up more efficiently.

Materials are fully refunded when dismantling
When dismantling structures, materials are fully refunded. In other words, you can freely change the arrangement even afterward. If you're not satisfied with the placement, dismantle and rearrange to get closer to your ideal layout.

Points to Consider When Building a Base
| Points to Consider |
|---|
| Avoid using wooden materials as they can easily catch fire |
| Leave enough space to prevent the Pals from getting stuck |
Avoid Using Wooden Materials as They Can Easily Catch Fire
Wooden materials are prone to catching fire when attacked with fire during raid events, so it is recommended to avoid using them as much as possible. It is advisable to start building a more advanced base from Level 18, when you can create the Stone Structure Set.

Leave Enough Space to Prevent Pals from Getting Stuck
If you place buildings and production facilities too close together, Pals may not be able to pass through, causing them to get stuck. This can lead to a state of hunger where they cannot reach the feed box. Therefore, be cautious when placing structures and ensure there is enough space for even larger Pals to pass through.
