How to Assign Tasks
Place a Pal with the appropriate Work Suitability
By placing a Pal with the appropriate Work Suitability for the task you want to delegate, it will be automatically assigned and perform the task. This allows for efficient gathering of materials and cooking even without the player's involvement.
Pals won't work if the Work Suitability doesn't match
If the Pal's Work Suitability doesn't match the task, it won't work. Therefore, make sure that the Pal assigned is capable of handling the task you want to assign.

Fixed Assignment is also possible
If you want to prioritize Pal's work, you can use fixed assignment. To perform fixed assignment, the player needs to manually place the Pal.
How to do Fixed Assignments
| Steps to ix assignment for Pal | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lift the Pal you want to fix assign |
| 2 | Throw the Pal towards the facility |
-
1Lift the Pal you want to **fix assign**
Once you have placed the Pal at the base, use the F key to lift the Pal you want to assign.
-
2Throw the Pal towards the facility
After lifting the Pal, throw it towards the facility you want to assign. When the facility's UI is displayed, you can fix assign the Pal. If you are unable to assign it successfully, try again.
Troubleshooting When Unable to Assign Tasks
Check the Work Aptitude of the Pal and Facility
If you are unable to assign, check if the Work Aptitude of the Pal and Facility matches. If the Work Aptitude does not match, the Pal will not work.
Check the SAN Value of the Pal
If the SAN value of the Pal is low, it will interrupt the work immediately even if assigned. If the Pal's SAN value is lowered due to abnormal conditions, it can be improved by treating it with medicine.

Check if the Pal is Stuck in the Terrain
The Pal may get stuck between rocks or structures within the base and become unable to move. In that case, manually lift the Pal once or return it to the Pal Box, then reposition it to resume work.
