Understanding Hunger in Palworld

The Hunger Gauge: Each Pal has a hunger gauge in their status menu. As they work, fight, or travel, they get hungry.
Consequences of Hunger: Hungry Pals get weaker, work slower, and might become unhappy or even sick.
Starvation: Ignoring hunger for too long leads to starvation, severely impacting your Pals’ abilities.

Feeding Your Pals

Let’s explore the different ways to ensure your Pals have full bellies and happy hearts:

Feed Boxes: The Backbone of Pal Feeding
- Placement: Place Feed Boxes strategically within your base, making them easily accessible to your Pals.
- Stock Up: Fill Feed Boxes with a variety of foods. Prioritize nutritious meals for the best benefits.
- Refill Regularly: Check Feed Box levels frequently, especially if you have many Pals or they’re frequently working.
Manual Feeding: For Targeted Care
- Direct Interaction: Approach a Pal and interact with them to open their menu. Choose the “Feed” option and select food from your inventory.
- On-the-Go Sustenance: Great for taming new Pals, or when you’re out exploring and a Pal falls behind on hunger.
Snacks on the Go: When Expeditions Call
- Easy Access: Pack simple foods like berries, fruit, or raw meat in your inventory before heading out.
- Quick Fix: If you notice a Pal getting hungry far from home, this prevents them from getting too weak to work or fight effectively.
Food Sources: Variety is the Spice of Pal Life
- Foraging: Berries, mushrooms, and fruit make for quick snacks but aren’t sustainable long-term.
- Farming: Invest time in cultivating crops. These create nutritious ingredients for better meals.
- Fishing: Catch fish to either feed Pals directly or use as ingredients in cooked dishes.
- Hunting: While some Pals might refuse raw meat, it’s useful for many recipes.
- Cooking: The Kitchen is your best friend! Create high-quality food with boosts to fullness, health, and even Pal stats.

Important Tip: Consider the type of Pal you’re feeding. Larger Pals or those performing strenuous work will need more frequent and substantial meals than small, less active ones.

What to Feed Your Pals

Variety is key! Here are your options:

Raw Ingredients: Berries, fruit, eggs, fish – easy to find, but not very filling long-term.
Crops: Grow your own food through farming for more nutritious and sustainable meals.
Cooked Recipes: Combine ingredients in the Kitchen to create the best food, boosting health and fullness.

Palworld Q&A

How often do I need to refill Feed Boxes?

This depends on how many Pals you have, and how hard they’re working. Check Feed Box fullness often.

Do all Pals eat the same amount of food?

No! Larger or physically demanding Pals consume food faster.

Where can I find good recipes for Pal food?

There are community guides online and purchasable recipe books in-game.

My Pals won’t eat from the Feed Box! Why?

They might be glitched – try picking them up and putting them back down near the box.

Can Pals overeat and get sick?

Yes! Overfeeding can cause a separate illness, so balance is important.

Does the environment affect how quickly Pals get hungry?

Yes! Extreme cold or heat will increase hunger rates.

Is there a way to see all my Pals’ hunger levels at once?

Yes, use the Pal Box to check their individual status.

Do Pals eat the food I grow on my farm?

Only if you put that food into the Feed Box.

What’s the best food for making Pals strong?

Cooked meals based on meat and vegetables provide the best boosts in Palworld.

Can Pals find food on their own?

Only very basic items, and unreliably. Don’t count on it!

Do Pals like different types of food?

While they won’t refuse food, future updates might add Pal preferences.

Keeping your Pals well-fed is essential for a thriving Palworld experience. Feed them regularly, provide nutritious meals, and with a little planning, you’ll never have to troubleshoot starvation problems again. With this “Palworld fix”, your furry companions will be ready for any adventure!
