Understanding Palworld Transportation
Here’s how Pals move your goods around:
- Work Suitability: Not all Pals are created equal. Check their stats for “Transporting” suitability.
- Storage Chests: Pals pick up resources from designated chests and deliver them to others.
- Pathfinding: They follow designated routes to get from A to B.
Common Transportation Problems
Pals Won’t Transport:
- Unsuitable Pals
- Empty Inventory
- Full Storage Chest
- Pathfinding Issues
- Glitches
Lost Resources:
- Pals getting stuck
- Glitches during transport
Troubleshooting Tips
Let’s delve into a broader range of solutions to get those resources moving again:
Check Your Pals:
Work Suitability: Double-check the “Transporting” stat in your Pals’ individual menus. Focus on Pals with high suitability for the best results.
Inventory Space: Ensure their inventories aren’t full before assigning transport tasks. Have them empty materials at a nearby chest or consume any food to clear space.
Health and Stamina: Tired or injured Pals won’t work efficiently. Let them rest near a Feed Box or administer the appropriate medicine.
Manage Storage Chests:
Placement: Ensure chests are easily accessible to Pals. Build ramps or stairs if terrain poses an obstacle.
Full Chests: Pals won’t pick up items from full chests. Designate chests for specific resource types to prevent overflow, or upgrade chests to increase capacity.
Linked Chests: Make sure the correct chests are linked. Pals will only transfer items between designated pick-up and drop-off chests.
Clear the Path:
Obstacles: Thoroughly examine the route between chests for anything blocking the way – this includes changes you might have made to your base.
Clearance: Ensure there’s enough overhead space for Pals, especially for those carrying large items or if you have multi-level structures.
Terrain: If the path is uneven, utilize terraforming tools to level the ground or build bridges.
Restart and Reload:
The Universal Fix: Before getting too technical, try saving your game, quitting fully, and then reloading. This can resolve simple glitches causing Pals to get stuck.
Advanced Solutions:
Check for Updates: Ensure you have the latest Palworld patch. Developers consistently release bug fixes that might address known transportation issues.
Mod Conflicts (PC Only): If you’re using mods, disable them temporarily to see if they’re interfering with transportation mechanics.
Report Bugs: If none of these solutions work, describe the issue as accurately as possible on the Palworld forums or in a detailed bug report to the developers.
Bonus Tip: Transporting Large Objects
Some objects are too large for a single Pal to carry. In these cases, you’ll often see multiple suitable Pals teaming up automatically to transport the item. Ensure they all have a clear, unobstructed path to their destination.
Palworld Q&A
1. How do I assign Pals to transport duties?
Interact with a Pal and access their menu. Select the “Work” tab and choose “Transporting”. Then, designate the pick-up and drop-off chests.
2. Can I use vehicles for transportation?
Not yet, but future updates might introduce them.
3. Can Pals transport captured Pals?
No, captured Pals need to be carried manually or in special transport cages (unlocked through the Technology Tree).
4. Can I upgrade my Pals’ carrying capacity?
No, but some larger Pals like Buffawn carry more naturally.
5. Do Pals need breaks during transportation?
Not automatically, but letting them rest occasionally is good practice.
6. Can I set up automated transportation routes?
Not directly, but you can designate multiple pick-up and drop-off points within one “Transporting” task.
7. Is there a way to track my Pals during transport?
No built-in system, but hotkeys allow you to quickly switch between your character and assigned Pals.
8. What happens if a Pal gets attacked while transporting resources?
They’ll try to defend themselves and the resources, potentially dropping some items in the process.
9. Can I transport resources myself?
Yes, you can manually pick up and carry resources, but it’s much slower than using Pals.
10. How do I stop Pals from taking items from chests I don’t want them to transport?
There’s no way to restrict access to specific chests currently. Consider using separate storage areas.
11. Will future updates improve Palworld transportation?
The developers have mentioned plans to refine pathfinding and potentially introduce new transportation options.
A smooth-running transportation system is crucial for a successful Palworld experience! By understanding how Pals move resources, using the right Pals for the job, and troubleshooting common problems, you’ll have your deliveries flowing like clockwork. Remember, a little planning will eliminate any transportation issue easily.
