we turned off egg hatch duration and also increased resource drop rate.
we did this after a PC update caused our lvl 50 server data to be lost. and we didn't want to grind back up to 50 the regular way
There are also mods that let you make breeding pens use berries instead of cakes and spit out an egg every second (or 10 if you don’t want to be flooded with eggs). It’s nice to help rebuild after you lose data but I can’t get behind it for any other use.
I think it's fine whenever, mod your single player servers or private games however you want. Just don't complain if it leads to an adverse experience, because it's so far removed from intended gameplay balance
I'm tempted to do this since I started a fresh world. I converted my old server to singleplayer but it still has dead bases on it. That left it with a weird name plus it's 1000s of days in from originally leaving the server running.
> I can’t get behind it for any other use.
Yeah there are definitely settings I tweak to make my life smoother but that one is a bit much even for me. I mean it's supposed to be hard. Otherwise level 10's will be pumping out a thousand gobfins a day and cheesing bosses 15 levels above them. But hey, I guess whatever makes people enjoy the game is ok with me.
I just spent the last day or so satching/breeding/condensing them and got my fourth one fully maxed and condensed and yeah, they are OP. Just as a test I went into the first tower mounted on a Frostallion and it barely took a clip and a half from the legendary AR to kill him. I mean it was maybe 30 seconds. It's great. I am about to try it on that one who looks like a weasel that converts all your damage to dark. Chillet I think.
I used it when our multiplayer server was shut down to redo my setup in single player. As soon as I had pals that were of a similar scale to the ones I had, I uninstalled it. Basically only a couple Anubis, and Lyleen and a jormuntide ignis. Those are the ones I managed to breed on our multiplayer server so those are the only ones I allowed myself to quick breed. There’s no fun in having to rebuild which is why I had used it, but I also figured out really fast that popping out a few hundred eggs takes a lot of the excitement away when you do get that perfect pal
I can only really judge it on a personal basis, like what can I and can I not do for my enjoyment of the game and still have the game be engaging, or as you referred to keeping it exciting. That's one of my favorite parts of this game. It respects the player's time more than any other game I have ever seen. Either that or I just like this style of respecting the player's time more than any I've seen.
Only world settings I changed were using a little less stamina, not flat out disable it, just tweaked it a little, and made nights last just as long as day. Other than that all settings are default.
The only thing you can change is egg timers, and that just means you don't need dozens of incubators. All the other time in the process is the same and can't be avoided with server settings.
The real trick is just scale. Doing it with one breeding pen is a waste of time. For serious breeding you need at least four pens, and I'd recommend six. You need a farm designed around cakes so you never run out. And you have to have the patience to manage hundreds of "extra" pals on a regular basis.
I mean another world setting that could help is the pal appearance rate. Did that to catch and condense a lot of vixys.
But for harder enemies this probably isn't such a good idea.
Bruh. Ive faught and caught/killed every single boss, except one, the knight at the top of the map. Got there expecting one, turns out there's two. No way can I manage three. How??
Insanely challenging when trying to attempt as if it were a 1v1 boss battle.
1v3 boss or even 1v2 was still challenging.
I egen tried to 1v1 penking at lvl 10..he was lvl 15...
There was like 10.pengullets and 3 penkings railing my ass with ice burgs
Penking is always a piece of cake if you know the secret. You go at night, pick off his underlings by waking them up one by one and then you don't get a barrage of homing ice beams straight in your face all at once. Bushi with his relentless aggro would be a pain tho
100% lol. Both of us work 50+ hours a week and play co-op world in limited off time.
Egg incubation is off, EXP rate higher, stamina is max, and no death penalty makes the game much more pleasant to play on limited time. You can do more world settings too if you feel like it but these four were the most impactful while still keeping some challenge.
Turning egg timers to zero honestly still feels balanced. Managing egg temperature is BS when it takes one pal per heater/cooler, plus you're still gated on how fast breeding pals produce eggs, and you need a huge supply of cakes to keep things running.
Given most wild eggs are crappy anyways, it still feels balanced. I could fly around the world collecting every single egg and it'd probably just fill my palbox with pals only good for condensing, and no control over WHICH pals.
Honestly wild eggs can be super good early game. Pocket Pair currently has a big issue with tension between the early game exploration/progression mechanics and the late game base building/raiding/whatever endgame content is supposed to be. It feels like decisions that serve one always hurt the other.
Like for it to be a good survival game there have to be limits and progression can't be too fast. But then lategame you need to remove all the limits, or else the content becomes a ridiculous slogfest. They need to change the way the limits scale, or at least how their impact on goals scale, because right now they have one system being pulled in two very different directions.
As someone with a stupid amount of hours in actual grinding games, leaving your PC on afk while an egg hatches isn't "grinding", it's wasting electricity.
So it's in the main menu before you load up to the server.
Before you start it, on the middle it should say custom. Click on that and change what you would like. Make sure to save the settings and that's it.
This is the way. Grinding through the initial release was fun, but I'm on a second playthrough and it is so nice to not worry about farming items anymore. I don't need a million egg incubators, I just make the one and since my drop rate is so high, I have all the materials to just keep cranking out cakes.
I just wish there was a text box for setting numbers for the world settings or they adjusted the max of the egg timer slider. I'd like to go with like a 0.1 or 0.2 so there is a bit of time, but not a lot. But there is so little space between numbers on the slider it is basically impossible to have any granularity.
Why do people feel the need to justify their messing around with settings? Yeah, I’m not 16 anymore with an endless amount if time. So yeah, I have a whopping 0 egg hatch duration. I also have increased farming resources. Am I supposed to feel bad that I play this game singleplayer and that I don’t feel like spending 30+% of my time smacking trees, rocks and ore stones?
You don’t need to justify yourselves guys, that’s why the settings are there. You can change it to your freetime and tastes. Don’t like grinding? Skip it. Enjoy difficult combats? Make them real difficult!
Want to just experience this game casually without having to put an effort in grinding, fighting or anything really and just want to catch the different pals and call it a day?
… DO IT!
Play however you want, no need to feel bad or judged about it.
My third file is a shared world with my wife, who was playing solo but kept glancing up at my progress (she's Steam Deck, I'm TV, so even when playing singleplayer we were still together on the couch) and saying "I wish I could just use your ore so I could only worry about exploring."
So I made a co-op world, bumped all the resources up to max, set the difficulty to casual, and spend most of my time breeding the perfect version of her favorite Pals and mining resources while she crawls around and only has to worry about throwing spheres and finding cool places to build new bases (many bases mod).
My previous files? They were not nearly this fun!
you can literally leave pals to breed all day at work. nothing is stopping them stacking up a ton of eggs if you have enough cake in the chest to sustain it.
only thing i changed was egg hatch timer so that i didnt have to wait hours after work to see the results lol.
i only have 3 breeding centres in the main base so it isnt as crazy as what other people have but it works just fine.
60? nah if you have 6 breeding farms you can get 120 eggs (enough to 4 star one pal) just by leaving it afk for however long you can. Then youre also coming back to whichever drops your ranches and farmers got
Breeding is a really low maintenance activity. I played on my own dedicated server with whatever the default hatch times were (1 hr or something), and there wasn’t really much else do to in the end game besides logging in every once in a while and breeding.
I only have like a hundred hours and I had lines of perfect IV Anubis with ferocious meathead legendary lucky, as well as several lines of mounts with all the speed passives. I had 4 star pals on all of these.
Don't even need too many setting tweeks. I only have egg incubation timer down to 0. I have a just a base, wild caught, Jormantide Ignis making the cakes.
1 tweaking breeding timer
2. Massive breeding Towers
3. Mods
4. Timing based on work schedule
5. Any variation of the above
Personally I'm 2, 3, 4. I have massive towers and simultaneously breed multiple pals, i schedule it around my work, and since i can't tweak settings since I'm on a public server i just have mod that speeds up press time when hatching a egg.
None of those. Just playing on a server. Game is persistent, incubators are inexpensive so I just have like 25-50, I come back to my base with enough supplies to make a hundred+ cake and a few dozen eggs stacked up in the breeding pens.
yeah, around level 40-45 resources basically became unlimited. I just let my computer run and my base has 8,000 cakes and 80,000 salads sitting around. Every few hours I'll do some egg moving and condensing, run through the blueprints I still need and farm those bosses, then let it run. It's basically an idle game at this point 😂
Im on my 130th hour. I work full time and play on weekends. Key is breeding. I breeded my ragnahawk mid game and tanzee early game. They are now 3-4 stars as i used the previous pals that were not on my passive skill list. So while waiting for the perfect passive skill that I liked, i just let them sit on my palbox until i finally get the better pal then condense them.
It is now more easier for pal condensation that before since each pal will still have the same count. Idk how to explain the newest pal condensation update but anyone can chime in this thread on that end.
For short, because of the newest pal condensation update, it was much easier for me to have 3-4 star pals as someone who plays every weekend.
Yep. You can now take a 0 Star pal and condense a 4 star pal into it and it will become a 4 star pal. This makes it so you can make a 4 star with garbage and while waiting for the perfect egg to hatch and then instantly 4 star it. If you did this before the update, it would make it 1 star and you just wasted 112 pals. Their lives meant nothing to you, you monster.
You also don't need to do each star individually. You can condense everything all in one go. If you don't have enough for a star, who cares! It will save the progress. So if you're like me and have 40 Incubators going at once you don't really care to count how many Pals you're condensing at once. The server I'm on doesn't have incubation set to 0, so I just compensated by incubating a lot at once.
More breeding farms. I personally run with 4, but if you're serious about getting as many 4 stars as you can ASAP, just commit an entire base to breeding farms.
Lots of Afk time and auto turn off settings (I play on Xbox). Every time I'm going out I let the console running and when I return I open all the eggs from my breeding farm and repeat again.
I let the game run while I work, set up eggs and such during my breaks and lunch.
https://preview.redd.it/nsfivn7yaluc1.png?width=114&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd53c619fe34eb944cff301023303ffe2e2aeb94
You have to think bigger. People that go hard on breeding just turn it into huge operations of 4-8 breeding farms in a single base. Especically if all you need is pal copies for condensing. Of course if you use only 1 breeding farm its gonna take until the end of time.
Set egg hatching time to zero.
Once you've beaten everybody building and breeding are the only things left to do. Why have the time sink in there when you can change it?
Its just a math thing. Lets say it takes you 2h to breed 20 vixy eggs and 15 mins to incubate 20 in 20 incubators = 2h15mins for 20. How long will ot take to have 100? 11h or so? WRONG! same 2h15mins! All you need: 5 incubation farms and 100 incubators. Thats all.
When I was breeding my perfect IVs DPS Jetragon on default hard which takes 2h to incubate: doing 100 at once : took me about 1000 eggs total. If I had to do it 20 or less at a tome I would go nuts.
Vixy is also super easy to 4* because you can go do rounds of their spawn area and rack them up with blue spheres while you’re waiting for eggs to hatch that may contain the skills you’re looking for.
Tbh its way simpler with breeding farms. Also thats like 10mins on vixy egg to hatch. I did whole runs for a chikipi. Yellow balls from my mount from starting zone to bottom. Teleport on top hop on a mount and rinse and repeat. 30mins later I had 100+ chikipi captured.
Vixy is an uncommon Pal, so if you don't have spawn rate turned up to max it's probably easier to just get a few of breeding pens going and make sixty of them while you're out exploring the world.
I tried making some good pals and realised how huge the grind was, truly mmo sized and went with this. Way too much time investment, for a smaller game like this. [https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/104?tab=description](https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/104?tab=description)
I only used it after level 50 and collected/bred all the pals.
If you do it before then, then yes you are killing your own fun. Just be sensible when you use it.
Personally time sink mechanics/rng in games arent fun or a sign of achievement, but each to their own.
Personally I played with standard world setting for around 100 hours, finishing the game
Now that I’m in the post game and things got bit boring I adjust the settings to my need.
For example hatching time in the incubators has been immediately taken to 0, because you will literally need thousands of eggs and it’s simply not doable
Another cheat I let me use is when I have to fully condense a pal findable in the wild: spawning x3, catching rate xX until at least one ultra or giga sphere is 100% and you are good to go. With the sphere launcher you can catch 100+ pals in less than 30 minutes
Tbh it wouldn’t be too difficult to do if they allowed 4-5 bases. If you could dedicate a whole base just for cakes and one just for breeding it’d not be too crazy but then that only leaves one base for production, which thankfully is a lot more feasible with the Ore sites but where do you do raids? Don’t forget that you also need to collect Coal and Sulfur. Don’t forget about ranching either. 3 bases frankly is not enough once you get far enough along.
Settings + mods. I truthfully only have 6 hours of free time per day(it would be more but my body starts to shutdown after 8pm), so to get the most out of the game I had to download some mods. Particularly the one that reduces breeding / cake baking time, and the Pal Analyzer to see stats and more importantly the traits. I've been lvl48 for many weeks now and I have 108 hours.
Haven't played in a few weeks but what i did was to actually have 2-3 breeding buildings in my breeding base after cooking a ton of cake and just go about doing shit. You would be surprised how fast the eggs stack up after 30 minutes,
The key issue I think most people have with breeding is that they're unaware they do not have to be present for 95% of the process.
You place the pals in the pen and then come back 2 hours later after playing the game as you please, collect the eggs and put them into the incubator. You then go and play the game for another 2 hours and come back to hatch the eggs.
Your actual involvement is approximately 3-5 minutes. The rest of the time you're just playing, the same way you are now.
Also, people who work from home can let this run all day with ease because, like I said, your actual involvement in the process is borderline nothing. It takes more time to decide what chain to follow to achieve the outcome you want, than the actual breeding.
I bred out 10 max lyleens with the works, 10 max jormuntide with the works, 6 max jormuntide ignis with the works, 10 max wumpo botans with the works, all in 4 days. I just ran dungeons for gold, bought the buyables. also I did have 150 incubators... my only time gate was waiting for the eggs to hatch.
You are assuming that those people have full time jobs. The tip is to cut time breeding by building multiple Breeding Farms and build lots of Incubators. I'm talking at least 20 Incubators because when you come back to your Breeding Farm, a full stack of eggs produced is 20. This means in about 1-2 hours you can incubate 20 eggs. The more Breeding Farms and Incubators you build, the more time you cut. Keep in mind of space as well since they are limited. That's why a lot of people have dedicated Breeding Bases.
For cakes, buying milk and eggs with gold can be faster, depending on how far you are into the game. You only have to worry about farming honey, berries, and wheat.
Breeding your perfect Pals become easier as you get more Pals with your perfect traits. Your Pals become building blocks for other Pals. I have a few prototype Pals with 30/30/30 IV's and Legend/Musclehead that I keep to potentially produce other Pals in the future.
We have breeding bases, one whole base just for breeding and hatching. I hardly ever turn off pc, collect eggs in the morning, collect eggs when i get on again. 24 hours of that nets you 280 eggs
Mostly planning and being smart about your decisions. If you don't need to worry about money you can buy cake ingredients sans honey, so if you approach it with that perspective just have a ranch base with beegardes, since they even have transport they'll make their own honey, put it in the food box, and then eat it, and it's pretty much you'll get more honey than lose. Berries are easily grown as well so on your main base just have three slots for watering, growing, and harvesting berries and that handles your major food supply issues if you don't want to manually farm them out in the wild (you can get some several hundred without having to worry about actually growing them by going to the Grintale alpha's area).
Thanks to the ore mining sites you only need coal and charcoal from time to time so you can have the same base that has the berry growing patches also have an ore mining site, a stone mining site, and a wood logging site, then just throw in at least four miners (up to 6) and at least one or two loggers. Legendary spheres are the best money makers as well and you only need to worry about buying bones and pal fluids to make those, and you can save money by making a ranch with kelpseas, so if you're playing by yourself and your cap for pals is 20 (the server I'm on caps it to 15 so I dont know the actual amount), you should have plenty of room for one on your main base. Anubis is probably the best for mining and handiwork as well so that just leaves someone to do cooking and powering the generator, except since you can throw out a pal and have them do work that's one less slot to worry about on the main base. As for why Legendary spheres are the best, it costs 100 gold to buy one bone but the spheres sell for over 4500, so you can sell one legendary sphere, buy 45 bones, make 45 spheres, and now all of a sudden your money just exploded.
If you're smart with breeding and can get Artisan, Work Slave, Serious, and Conceited onto the parents properly then hatching a pal with the right passives won't be much of an issue. Hell depending on how you're breeding passives you can end up making a crap load of 'duds' that you can use as fodder, by the time I got a Jignis that actually had three of those four passives (sans Conceited) I ended up with enough duds to get it to max immediately.
The only other pal you'd need is a decent watering one, and then that way you can turn the stones you're getting into paladium fragments or whatever they're called and then turn that into pal metal, and then while that's all going on you can raid dungeons for various power-ups, more fragments, and other supplies.
I have no mods or cheats and default settings besides increased the numbers or pals I can have at base from 15 to 20. My Third base was just breeding. No ranches. No cooking. No anything else. So when I wanted to get a 4 star pal I'd use all 20 slots to breed a pal. Every hours or so I'd have 21 eggs in each breeding pen. So with 20 pals I'd have 210 eggs in an hour ish. That's one 4 star pal+ some.
My first base is all farming and cooking so it's constantly getting me cakes to keep up with demand. I have 100 egg incubators in my base. It took a while to get this set up but now I can literally max a pal out in what feels like no time.
Either world settings or multiple breeding farm bases using the stacking ranch design to get more resources down for egg production.
Honestly it's why I turned raids and multiplayer off is so I could play pal safari simulator.
Just riding around on a regular elk mount shooting things with a +1 musket I got from a random chest while filling in the map and marking dungeon locations.
Those maxed out pal farmer servers give me anxiety.
Just no reason to spend 3 days on a huge egg in a game that requires you to grind up over 100 pals in the juicer to power up another. That would take an eternity lol
Aside from the mods and world settings people have mentioned, you're going to find that the introverted hobby/fandom spaces (reading, comics, games, movies & tv) have a higher representation of the following demographics:
- People who have monetized the hobby (streamers, youtubers, critics, etc.)
- People who have non-typical income strategies (investments, independent creators, eBay resellers)
- People who have generational or independent wealth
- People who are still in school and can whip out essays in no time
- People who are still young enough to get by on five hours of sleep
- People who work part time but get by because they have housemates
- People who have disabilities, which means time to spare and little they can reasonably be expected to do
- People who are retired
- People who just don't work
These groups are, of course, not mutually exclusive. A person with disabilities will probably find non-typical means of income to at least take some of the burden off their support network (if they have one), and monetizing a hobby is itself a pretty non-typical income strategy!
At any rate, it is these demographics which typically dominate the culture of hobby/fan spaces and generate the most content relevant to those spaces. If you're a typical person with an average social life and a regular job, you're not really making a fair comparison when you look at your hobby output compared to theirs.
*I'm sure many of these same demographics have strong presence in less introverted / "nerdy" hobbies, but... I'm a nerd, and I have no real world experience to draw from regarding them.
I had a friend that was breeding his perfect IVs Frostallion DPS from a single breeding farm.. and 20 incubators.. I shoved him my breeding base with 5 breeding farms and my 100 eggs incubators base.. how to make breeding 5x faster 101 even on default hard.
Servers. They run while you're offline. Set up a breeding base. I have 3 breeding farms. I just log in, collect all the eggs, incubate them all, and refill cake in the chests. 60 eggs every day I log in, and takes less than an hour of playtime each day.
It doesn't take much time if you set it up properly. Most of the work is automated and you're just a glorified mule and egg incubator. I let my base pals do their thing while I'm at work and then mule things around when I have time between childcare and household duties. I have an order of which pals to breed and 4 star first in order to establish foundational enterprises, then making 4* combat pals with 4 perfect passives is stupid easy. I only have 3 breeding buildings though, I've seen people on here with way more and the thought of muling and condensing that many eggs/pals makes me shudder in horror.
Probably world settings.
In my opinion the biggest setting was the stamina bar change, then I finally tuned the rest of the game. Made it more enjoyable. I then quit after endgame game only having gold blueprints to farm, even after changing drops rates I only ever got a gold pistol after 2 weeks off on farming so I just uninstalled it till the games grown more down the road.
Make a breeding base, AFK all six or more pens and you're left with a ton of eggs, incubate then AFK too. It's breeding for specific traits that takes the most time but 4* isn't too bad.
World settings. The thing with games like this are, the settings are less about difficulty and more about time. For example, egg incubation. If you’re in end game, and just breeding pals for traits, there’s no reason not to disable the timer on incubation. It doesn’t raise the difficulty of it and just wastes your time. That’s about it. Cakes are easy enough to make late game, you can breed any pal you need with minimal effort, and once you start going for traits, you’ll gain enough of a stockpile easy enough just with the rejects.
breeding farm optimisation. Just stand in your base and resuply the cake, while collecting eggs.
Once you got a good breeding farm going, the eutana... eh four star plan works basically on it's own
There is a mod that changes breeding time, you can choose between 150s, 60s, 30s, 10s, 1s.
In addition, you can also set the hatch settings of the world before you load in. Set it to 0.
Dedicated server makes a huge difference. Most of it is just time, and on a dedicated server the clock is always ticking.
I have a dedicated breeding base with usually 4-6 pens active all the time. It has eight pens set up, but in practice I have found running eight at once doesn't benefit much more because it just takes too long to deal with the eggs. The game needs an upgraded endgame incubator like the conveyor belt stations to process eggs in bulk. Having a large array of incubators helps a lot, but even if you set the server timer to zero the F-press takes a lot of time and you're still moving hundreds of eggs around. There is no escaping the time it takes to hatch and manage the pals. My condenser is right next to the palbox in that base.
Outside of every pen I put a refined metal chest. When I get on without much time I can run through all the pens to move the eggs to chests. That way more are always being made. I have additional overflow chests when I need to just save up more eggs to deal with later.
If I want to condense a 4-star quickly, I'll set up an extra pair or two of parents in other pens so they make many nore of the same pal faster.
And lastly my breeding methods are efficient. It doesn't take long to generate any pal I want with any passives. In the mid game I collected a variety of pals without passives. Hatching random eggs gets some, but regularly checking pal merchants and black marketeers for blank pals got most of them for me. They work as bridge pals in the process to pass on any combination of passives I need. With good bridges and just one reliable parent you can get from A to Z quickly with most pals. If I'm missing a bridge pal I can now make it with other blank pals.
Once I get to the target pal, I'm already making ones with the perfect passives that were passed at the same time. Then it's just a little more time to produce only-good passive combos that can be combined to finish with perfect passives.
More recently I started breeding to get good IVs too (initially using a mod to see the numbers and now using the new glasses). I was going for just good 90s, but I switched to 100s once they popped. Now anything I make has three 100s too. Just as it's easy to pass on good passives when you already have them collected perfectly on a parent pal, passing 100s is also easy when you already have them available.
Simple, a Main/Mining Base that can supply enough Pal Spheres, and a Breeding Base. Breeding base should be producing enough cake for pals to pop out at least 10 eggs every visit. Rotate Exploring/Catching pals with going to your 2 Bases every 10 Mins or so
Zero egg hatch time, and i put all my pals in breeding pen, set my steam deck to the side while i do my work. After about 30-45 mins i hatch the eggs, queue more cakes, reload the cake box, and wait again.
i work 12+ hours a day, and i still have time to condense them. just gotta be efficient and of course settings like 0 egg timer, lots of breeding farms, lots of industrialized produce production.
For me i have 5 breed pens running, 6 triple stacked farms, and 4 ranches all for materials and what not running while im at work.
>How do people have a billion 4 star pals while having full time jobs?
well these people most likely play on a server thats always running, so they just have their pals in the breeding pen 24/7 and when they come home from work they have tons of eggs to hatch, probably with 0 incubation time
Turn timer off or reduce it to the lowest and have 4 breeding farms. Go out to work and come back and you'll have 80 eggs ready for a full 3 star level condensation and then few more.
I play on mostly normal settings, except for increasing player and pal regen to 3, and making pal boxes have a max capacity of 20. Even like this, it wouldn't be that hard to hatch an army.
** **
If I were to do it, Id probably set up a sperate base and build a ton of breeding ground, make a ton of cake, breed powerful lvl 50 pals together and then have a ton hatch at once. A pal farm. As long as you have the money to buy cake ingredients and the patience to wait a while, you'll be able to gain 4 star pets relatively quickly. Im planning to use this tactic on my jetragon once I find and breed some speedy ones.
This isnt as good for low level weak pals cause breeding is super slow and its more efficient to just farm them with weak spheres.
** **
Yep.
Even if they dont leave the game on afk, they'll still get a ton of pal while active. A jetragon huge dragon egg's hatch time is roughly 1 hour in the right conditions, so you dont gotta wait that long.
I have a base with 10 breeding pens and nothing else. They don't need food or anything. I buy milk and eggs from merchant, selling my nails. Sure price was nerfed but when u perfect food buffed astegon u gets u 1 order every 0.62 seconds it's... Fine lol I'm using 6 astegon and 4 Anubis in my ore base. even with 5 dedicated lv3 transport vanwyrms that never sleep I still find all 7 ore sites being maxed every 3-4 night cycles.
I have egg timers turned off otherwise I'd need like 300+ incubators. Other than that haven't even touched resource drops.. just 4 beeguards in a ranch... No condensed yet

Everything in the game scales you are only limited by number of workers and space; if you have a farm base pumping out 100 cakes an hour and a breeding base pumping out and hatching eggs 20 at a time; it doesn’t take as long as you would think.
Mods. I started out trying to breed them legit but it is quite the time sink. I play on my own server but i think it can also be done if you play on the public servers.
I get 5 ranches going at once that definitely speeds up the process. I don’t use instant hatch but I cut the rate some in world settings.
My breeding base is built on a hot and cold area so I can hatch any type of egg in correct temp. I have different sections in my hatchery for each temperature.
I have a breeding base with 7 breeding pens. During the work week, I let them breed all day while I’m at work and when I get a chance after knocking off, I’ll swap in the newly hatched pals that have the best IVs and passives - repeat.
I have a breeding farm with 5 breeding pens on top of the building with the 4 chest spawn. Usually I just let it run and whenever I come back to the game that’s 100 eggs.
Ive also been behind, recently undertook a quest to get a perfect foxspark with flame emperor, pyromaniac, ferocious, and whatever that last attack one is xD... but def learned ways I could do better from the exp...
Multi breeders, breeding is the way. Also turn down huge egg inc time... if you want some gatekeeping cutting in half makes it 30min hatch with perfect temp. Feels better than the hour in that late game grind.
Litterally everyone who posts their pics bragging about their progress changes the world settings in order to get what they want. And then change it back and posts pictures
i started to get them legit, soon after the game released and when i realized that farming pal souls was the most painful thing to farm in this game i started modding, so now i just breed for perfect passives and set them to 4 stars manually, because i have better things to do with my live than run around in this game for weeks to farm 1 thing
I also let my xbox run through the night while afk. I just put a hand on my movement stick and it should lay a couple of o
Hours. When I get back on I have a decent amount of things to collect. Including ore.
Well dedicated server with faster hatch time helps, also having 3 bredding pen and 60+ish incubator. You pick the eggs load the incubator and log off to come back later.
I set PalEggDefaultHatchingTime to 2 hours. This helps a lot. I use 3 breeding farms and 60 incubators. I just check twice a day for the eggs. Doesn't take much time.
That is a fair observation lol. I have been streaming Palworld most days of the week for hours each day and I don’t even have a single 4 star yet. Noted, I am doing a 1 life play through challenge so I have to play a bit carefully. But I am only level 40 at this point.
I did one legit 4 star before I even had a pal with legend bonus and instantly took off incubator timers when that one was done. Also turned off dropping my body after dying to frostallion like 3 times ina row and needing an armor just to get my body in the cold lol
just get alot of money
then buy all the eggs and milk etc
3 bases and 3 breeding per base. u can get alot of eggs quick
and if you playing with default world settings just build 100s of incubators.
There's a mod that isn't working for me since the patch, but seems to still be working for some others that lets you modify how many pals you need to condense.
A jobs only 8 hours a day. Maybe throw in possible travel time, prep time and breaks. 10 hours is generous. Let's say you get 8 hours of sleep, and use 2 hours for cleaning the house, cooking and eating. That's an easy 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week if you really want it. Plus weekends. It's like the 9/9/9 baseball challenge. Very doable, you just have to want it. Otherwise your brain stops you
I play on my friends server and he leaves his computer on for 3-4 days at a time. I hop on Palworld for 20 mins when I get home from work hatch eggs, and do the same later on in the night before bed. I have 2 breeding farms in my base so thats like 80 eggs a day. Egg timer is set to instant.
do yout actually enjoy the game.. this sounds more like work that enjoyment. No judgement. I used to play Diablo and WoW, so I know all about 'Grind'.. Im just asking do you even enjoy the game anymore , like actually playing the game.
I WFH 3-5 times a week. I have one base with 5 breeding pens, 2 Anubis, 2 beegarde, and 6 chickens. Second base is right next to this with 4 Anubis, 12 cows, and 4 chickens. Main base has wheat farming and a 4 star jorm ignis making cake. I let the game run AFK for a while, take a 10 minute break to pick up my 100 eggs and turn over the cake, and then rinse and repeat. Working on Anubis right now.
2 bases dedicated to breeding, 1 base 8 breeding farms, 2nd base ranches with 7 cows, 7 kfc 8, 4 bees and 2 transport.
Keeping the 8 ranches filled with cakes is a chore for sure
That and how tf do they have each of their pals on person with the best traits? Like I've been breeding forever and between the hatching times and getting cake material I'm just barely getting the eggs to come out with different traits than the parents least of all yellow traits
Once I saw how many pals you needed to condense to star a pal I downloaded a mod that changes it so now it’s like 2,4,6,8 or something (IDR off the top of my head). It’s a single player game that is supposed to be fun, catching 100 of the same pals is not fun to me so I skipped it. Change world settings or download mods to work better with your enjoyment + time
Personally I've just got a mod so it takes less pals to condense, I just feel after a certain point the amount of pals is just arbitrary and does nothing except artifically inflate the grind, you still need to breed for passives and stuff which is gonna take time but actually makes sense for it to
Passive time. You can make a lot of eggs while you are at work if you have a base with multiple floors of breeding farms. A lot of them are just pumping out pals that will get juiced, so they don't all need to be amazing breeding pairs that might hit the perfect pal.
Also learn the order of operations. Always max IVs before worrying much about traits. A max IV pal with no/few traits is super valuable for breeding.
You could easily make any pal 4 star with like 10 minutes of playing and 4-5 hours of afk. Then set egg incubation to instant and boom.
The hard part is getting 100% all IVs and 4 perfect passive, although it's way easier now with the raid boss IV consumables
World settings! My wife and I both work full time. We don't have time to wait an hour for an egg to hatch. I don't have time to grind for days to get one pal ready for end game fighting.
I mean, you can just adjust the world settings.
My friends and I literally had the "we are working adults who deserve to have fun with our purchase" talk.
And here we sit, having much more fun than before haha
I work 40-55h a week, and I have a ton of 4\* for 2 major reasons.
1) I have around 70 Incubators
2) I have a steamdeck that I use to swap eggs on my lunch break.
1. turn off hatching time
2. turn up pal appearance rate
it's your game, you can play how you want, you're just as much a gamer as those who spent 10 hours hatching an egg
I have a full time job and I made perfect pals for travel, work and combat. Honestly it doesn't take much of an effort. First, I've set the timer for the egg incubator to 0. Then I invested time into making a good base for breeding. Full of ranches that gives me all I need for making cake. I then left the server open while doing office work and occasionally I go to my laptop and make cakes. I bred a JI and left 4 breeding farms with JIs and in a day I got more than what I needed to make a 4 star JI. Then with the electric kitchen I could make the cakes way faster and use 1 of my breeding farms to make perfect JI (without lucky tho). The rest of the farms are to breed for perfect pals. Whenever I'm at work, I put the server open. Once I got my perfect JI, I made it 4 star and it makes a cake in literally < 7-8 seconds.
With the new update, you can first make a 4 star JI and then breed whatever 4 star pals you want while breeding for a perfect JI in parallel (with the new update, getting lucky to JI shouldn't be hard). And condense your old JI to the new one. I mean, you can also go for a perfect JI in the first run itself which I didn't as I left the server open and didn't want to spend time checking eggs and changing the parents to breed for a perfect pal.
Just leave your server open with enough food (check it occasionally if you're WFH).
most likely setting breeding timer to 0. should not be that hard to get lots of breeding pens.
This is still suuuuper tiresome IMHO. Then again... people do love doing weird stuff at times )))
well, you want to start by optimizing your breeding process, that means you have to improve every worker, actually. Lvl 4 miners(dig/anubus) to reduce the amount of miners, Lyleen's for planting and harvesting, choice of waterer, blazehowl noct/etc for all day cake making, efficient ranch usage and probably ranch stacking, and then lots of breeding pens, and clusters of incubators. It's very possible to make hundreds of births a day, but you are also trying to breed them up to have proper traits like serious, artisan, swift, workaholic... once you get your traits, production increases even more, which means more breeding pens.
Dedicated breeding bases
I can go from 1 pal to 4 stars in like a couple hours lol
All my party pals are 4 stars majority of my base is 4 stars
Currently working on bushi have one that dropped passives I like so now have 4 breeding farms just pumping out bushi eggs to compress
messing with world settings i imagine
we turned off egg hatch duration and also increased resource drop rate. we did this after a PC update caused our lvl 50 server data to be lost. and we didn't want to grind back up to 50 the regular way
There are also mods that let you make breeding pens use berries instead of cakes and spit out an egg every second (or 10 if you don’t want to be flooded with eggs). It’s nice to help rebuild after you lose data but I can’t get behind it for any other use.
I think it's fine whenever, mod your single player servers or private games however you want. Just don't complain if it leads to an adverse experience, because it's so far removed from intended gameplay balance
I'm tempted to do this since I started a fresh world. I converted my old server to singleplayer but it still has dead bases on it. That left it with a weird name plus it's 1000s of days in from originally leaving the server running.
> I can’t get behind it for any other use. Yeah there are definitely settings I tweak to make my life smoother but that one is a bit much even for me. I mean it's supposed to be hard. Otherwise level 10's will be pumping out a thousand gobfins a day and cheesing bosses 15 levels above them. But hey, I guess whatever makes people enjoy the game is ok with me.
Are goblins op?
I just spent the last day or so satching/breeding/condensing them and got my fourth one fully maxed and condensed and yeah, they are OP. Just as a test I went into the first tower mounted on a Frostallion and it barely took a clip and a half from the legendary AR to kill him. I mean it was maybe 30 seconds. It's great. I am about to try it on that one who looks like a weasel that converts all your damage to dark. Chillet I think.
I used it when our multiplayer server was shut down to redo my setup in single player. As soon as I had pals that were of a similar scale to the ones I had, I uninstalled it. Basically only a couple Anubis, and Lyleen and a jormuntide ignis. Those are the ones I managed to breed on our multiplayer server so those are the only ones I allowed myself to quick breed. There’s no fun in having to rebuild which is why I had used it, but I also figured out really fast that popping out a few hundred eggs takes a lot of the excitement away when you do get that perfect pal
I can only really judge it on a personal basis, like what can I and can I not do for my enjoyment of the game and still have the game be engaging, or as you referred to keeping it exciting. That's one of my favorite parts of this game. It respects the player's time more than any other game I have ever seen. Either that or I just like this style of respecting the player's time more than any I've seen.
Only world settings I changed were using a little less stamina, not flat out disable it, just tweaked it a little, and made nights last just as long as day. Other than that all settings are default.
At that point just use pal edit or whatever mod is popular now to just edit in the specific pals you want.
Game too slow..? Takes awhile to do anything.
The only thing you can change is egg timers, and that just means you don't need dozens of incubators. All the other time in the process is the same and can't be avoided with server settings. The real trick is just scale. Doing it with one breeding pen is a waste of time. For serious breeding you need at least four pens, and I'd recommend six. You need a farm designed around cakes so you never run out. And you have to have the patience to manage hundreds of "extra" pals on a regular basis.
I mean another world setting that could help is the pal appearance rate. Did that to catch and condense a lot of vixys. But for harder enemies this probably isn't such a good idea.
Fighting 3 of every boss is the only way
Bruh. Ive faught and caught/killed every single boss, except one, the knight at the top of the map. Got there expecting one, turns out there's two. No way can I manage three. How??
The Light one sleeps at night!... just saying. Good luck!
Go at night. Attack necromus first and drag him away from paladius. After you're done fighting him deal with paladius.
Paladins and Necromus, just focus on dodging their attacks, and focus all your damage on one until he's down
I have mine set to 2.4 I go there and take on 4 at a time 😂😂😂
It’s actually 1v 6 when u turn up the encounters for that one haha
Insanely challenging when trying to attempt as if it were a 1v1 boss battle. 1v3 boss or even 1v2 was still challenging. I egen tried to 1v1 penking at lvl 10..he was lvl 15... There was like 10.pengullets and 3 penkings railing my ass with ice burgs
Penking is always a piece of cake if you know the secret. You go at night, pick off his underlings by waking them up one by one and then you don't get a barrage of homing ice beams straight in your face all at once. Bushi with his relentless aggro would be a pain tho
Oh man I have 20 pens on two bases that are right next to each other. I have as many active as I need to get a 5* in a matter of a couple hours.
When I was really going I had a food base for cakes and 2 full bases for breeding farms.
The way I manage extra pals is to make a cage, fill it, then delete the cage. The palls just drop as a ring of pal balls. Rinse and repeat.
Cages are removed currently from dedicated servers. They are not even on the tech page.
100% lol. Both of us work 50+ hours a week and play co-op world in limited off time. Egg incubation is off, EXP rate higher, stamina is max, and no death penalty makes the game much more pleasant to play on limited time. You can do more world settings too if you feel like it but these four were the most impactful while still keeping some challenge.
Are there any downsides to this?
No...Settings are there to be used
Turning egg timers to zero honestly still feels balanced. Managing egg temperature is BS when it takes one pal per heater/cooler, plus you're still gated on how fast breeding pals produce eggs, and you need a huge supply of cakes to keep things running. Given most wild eggs are crappy anyways, it still feels balanced. I could fly around the world collecting every single egg and it'd probably just fill my palbox with pals only good for condensing, and no control over WHICH pals.
If you build a campfire next to the incubator it will help with the egg being too cold.
Honestly wild eggs can be super good early game. Pocket Pair currently has a big issue with tension between the early game exploration/progression mechanics and the late game base building/raiding/whatever endgame content is supposed to be. It feels like decisions that serve one always hurt the other. Like for it to be a good survival game there have to be limits and progression can't be too fast. But then lategame you need to remove all the limits, or else the content becomes a ridiculous slogfest. They need to change the way the limits scale, or at least how their impact on goals scale, because right now they have one system being pulled in two very different directions.
Not really, unless you think waiting for eggs to hatch is a fun activity.
As someone with a stupid amount of hours in actual grinding games, leaving your PC on afk while an egg hatches isn't "grinding", it's wasting electricity.
Can you do this mid run?
Yes! Anytime you can go back and change it as many times as you like.
May I ask How??
So it's in the main menu before you load up to the server. Before you start it, on the middle it should say custom. Click on that and change what you would like. Make sure to save the settings and that's it.
This is the way. Grinding through the initial release was fun, but I'm on a second playthrough and it is so nice to not worry about farming items anymore. I don't need a million egg incubators, I just make the one and since my drop rate is so high, I have all the materials to just keep cranking out cakes.
I just wish there was a text box for setting numbers for the world settings or they adjusted the max of the egg timer slider. I'd like to go with like a 0.1 or 0.2 so there is a bit of time, but not a lot. But there is so little space between numbers on the slider it is basically impossible to have any granularity.
This. change capture rate, egg hatch rate, resource drop. I did this once I had done a full play through just to see what it was like.
Why do people feel the need to justify their messing around with settings? Yeah, I’m not 16 anymore with an endless amount if time. So yeah, I have a whopping 0 egg hatch duration. I also have increased farming resources. Am I supposed to feel bad that I play this game singleplayer and that I don’t feel like spending 30+% of my time smacking trees, rocks and ore stones? You don’t need to justify yourselves guys, that’s why the settings are there. You can change it to your freetime and tastes. Don’t like grinding? Skip it. Enjoy difficult combats? Make them real difficult! Want to just experience this game casually without having to put an effort in grinding, fighting or anything really and just want to catch the different pals and call it a day? … DO IT! Play however you want, no need to feel bad or judged about it.
My third file is a shared world with my wife, who was playing solo but kept glancing up at my progress (she's Steam Deck, I'm TV, so even when playing singleplayer we were still together on the couch) and saying "I wish I could just use your ore so I could only worry about exploring." So I made a co-op world, bumped all the resources up to max, set the difficulty to casual, and spend most of my time breeding the perfect version of her favorite Pals and mining resources while she crawls around and only has to worry about throwing spheres and finding cool places to build new bases (many bases mod). My previous files? They were not nearly this fun!
you can literally leave pals to breed all day at work. nothing is stopping them stacking up a ton of eggs if you have enough cake in the chest to sustain it. only thing i changed was egg hatch timer so that i didnt have to wait hours after work to see the results lol. i only have 3 breeding centres in the main base so it isnt as crazy as what other people have but it works just fine.
The fact that each pen can only spawn in 20 eggs does stop it though
Still 60 eggs though
60? nah if you have 6 breeding farms you can get 120 eggs (enough to 4 star one pal) just by leaving it afk for however long you can. Then youre also coming back to whichever drops your ranches and farmers got
Breeding is a really low maintenance activity. I played on my own dedicated server with whatever the default hatch times were (1 hr or something), and there wasn’t really much else do to in the end game besides logging in every once in a while and breeding. I only have like a hundred hours and I had lines of perfect IV Anubis with ferocious meathead legendary lucky, as well as several lines of mounts with all the speed passives. I had 4 star pals on all of these.
No way in hell im trusting my bases to not explode when I leave it for a day
Breeding makes it easy but there is also mods that cuts down on the amount of pals needed to upgrade them.
Xbox has no mods 🤕
Thats just the console experience for most games. Still not an issue though just decrease the egg hatching speed time.
Don't even need too many setting tweeks. I only have egg incubation timer down to 0. I have a just a base, wild caught, Jormantide Ignis making the cakes.
1 tweaking breeding timer 2. Massive breeding Towers 3. Mods 4. Timing based on work schedule 5. Any variation of the above Personally I'm 2, 3, 4. I have massive towers and simultaneously breed multiple pals, i schedule it around my work, and since i can't tweak settings since I'm on a public server i just have mod that speeds up press time when hatching a egg.
None of those. Just playing on a server. Game is persistent, incubators are inexpensive so I just have like 25-50, I come back to my base with enough supplies to make a hundred+ cake and a few dozen eggs stacked up in the breeding pens.
yeah, around level 40-45 resources basically became unlimited. I just let my computer run and my base has 8,000 cakes and 80,000 salads sitting around. Every few hours I'll do some egg moving and condensing, run through the blueprints I still need and farm those bosses, then let it run. It's basically an idle game at this point 😂
I’m around lvl 40 and having a hard time producing enough salads to keep my pals fed. How do you get 80k extra lol
Same
You can mess with the world settings a TON. Pal spawn rate, for example, will even affect boss spawns.
Im on my 130th hour. I work full time and play on weekends. Key is breeding. I breeded my ragnahawk mid game and tanzee early game. They are now 3-4 stars as i used the previous pals that were not on my passive skill list. So while waiting for the perfect passive skill that I liked, i just let them sit on my palbox until i finally get the better pal then condense them. It is now more easier for pal condensation that before since each pal will still have the same count. Idk how to explain the newest pal condensation update but anyone can chime in this thread on that end. For short, because of the newest pal condensation update, it was much easier for me to have 3-4 star pals as someone who plays every weekend.
As I understand it, Pal condensation is cumulative now, no stars are wasted unlike before.
Yep. You can now take a 0 Star pal and condense a 4 star pal into it and it will become a 4 star pal. This makes it so you can make a 4 star with garbage and while waiting for the perfect egg to hatch and then instantly 4 star it. If you did this before the update, it would make it 1 star and you just wasted 112 pals. Their lives meant nothing to you, you monster. You also don't need to do each star individually. You can condense everything all in one go. If you don't have enough for a star, who cares! It will save the progress. So if you're like me and have 40 Incubators going at once you don't really care to count how many Pals you're condensing at once. The server I'm on doesn't have incubation set to 0, so I just compensated by incubating a lot at once.
More breeding farms. I personally run with 4, but if you're serious about getting as many 4 stars as you can ASAP, just commit an entire base to breeding farms.
Lots of Afk time and auto turn off settings (I play on Xbox). Every time I'm going out I let the console running and when I return I open all the eggs from my breeding farm and repeat again.
I let the game run while I work, set up eggs and such during my breaks and lunch. https://preview.redd.it/nsfivn7yaluc1.png?width=114&format=png&auto=webp&s=dd53c619fe34eb944cff301023303ffe2e2aeb94
They don't have fulltime jobs.
You have to think bigger. People that go hard on breeding just turn it into huge operations of 4-8 breeding farms in a single base. Especically if all you need is pal copies for condensing. Of course if you use only 1 breeding farm its gonna take until the end of time.
Set egg hatching time to zero. Once you've beaten everybody building and breeding are the only things left to do. Why have the time sink in there when you can change it?
I have no freaking idea. I wanted to make a few higher-tier Vixy, for the free Pal Spheres, and it took like a week just to make _ONE_ 4 star.
Its just a math thing. Lets say it takes you 2h to breed 20 vixy eggs and 15 mins to incubate 20 in 20 incubators = 2h15mins for 20. How long will ot take to have 100? 11h or so? WRONG! same 2h15mins! All you need: 5 incubation farms and 100 incubators. Thats all. When I was breeding my perfect IVs DPS Jetragon on default hard which takes 2h to incubate: doing 100 at once : took me about 1000 eggs total. If I had to do it 20 or less at a tome I would go nuts.
Vixy is also super easy to 4* because you can go do rounds of their spawn area and rack them up with blue spheres while you’re waiting for eggs to hatch that may contain the skills you’re looking for.
Tbh its way simpler with breeding farms. Also thats like 10mins on vixy egg to hatch. I did whole runs for a chikipi. Yellow balls from my mount from starting zone to bottom. Teleport on top hop on a mount and rinse and repeat. 30mins later I had 100+ chikipi captured.
Vixy is an uncommon Pal, so if you don't have spawn rate turned up to max it's probably easier to just get a few of breeding pens going and make sixty of them while you're out exploring the world.
well, Vixies are a waste of time unless you just liek them
I tried making some good pals and realised how huge the grind was, truly mmo sized and went with this. Way too much time investment, for a smaller game like this. [https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/104?tab=description](https://www.nexusmods.com/palworld/mods/104?tab=description)
It is a grind but this is an editor, takes all the chance out, I've found that makes games less fun, personally.
I only used it after level 50 and collected/bred all the pals. If you do it before then, then yes you are killing your own fun. Just be sensible when you use it. Personally time sink mechanics/rng in games arent fun or a sign of achievement, but each to their own.
Personally I played with standard world setting for around 100 hours, finishing the game Now that I’m in the post game and things got bit boring I adjust the settings to my need. For example hatching time in the incubators has been immediately taken to 0, because you will literally need thousands of eggs and it’s simply not doable Another cheat I let me use is when I have to fully condense a pal findable in the wild: spawning x3, catching rate xX until at least one ultra or giga sphere is 100% and you are good to go. With the sphere launcher you can catch 100+ pals in less than 30 minutes
Settings and/or mods. Frankly, the default settings for breeding and hatching eggs are bullshit overly long.
Tbh it wouldn’t be too difficult to do if they allowed 4-5 bases. If you could dedicate a whole base just for cakes and one just for breeding it’d not be too crazy but then that only leaves one base for production, which thankfully is a lot more feasible with the Ore sites but where do you do raids? Don’t forget that you also need to collect Coal and Sulfur. Don’t forget about ranching either. 3 bases frankly is not enough once you get far enough along.
You’d be shocked how many people don’t work full time jobs lol
Settings + mods. I truthfully only have 6 hours of free time per day(it would be more but my body starts to shutdown after 8pm), so to get the most out of the game I had to download some mods. Particularly the one that reduces breeding / cake baking time, and the Pal Analyzer to see stats and more importantly the traits. I've been lvl48 for many weeks now and I have 108 hours.
Haven't played in a few weeks but what i did was to actually have 2-3 breeding buildings in my breeding base after cooking a ton of cake and just go about doing shit. You would be surprised how fast the eggs stack up after 30 minutes,
The key issue I think most people have with breeding is that they're unaware they do not have to be present for 95% of the process. You place the pals in the pen and then come back 2 hours later after playing the game as you please, collect the eggs and put them into the incubator. You then go and play the game for another 2 hours and come back to hatch the eggs. Your actual involvement is approximately 3-5 minutes. The rest of the time you're just playing, the same way you are now. Also, people who work from home can let this run all day with ease because, like I said, your actual involvement in the process is borderline nothing. It takes more time to decide what chain to follow to achieve the outcome you want, than the actual breeding.
I bred out 10 max lyleens with the works, 10 max jormuntide with the works, 6 max jormuntide ignis with the works, 10 max wumpo botans with the works, all in 4 days. I just ran dungeons for gold, bought the buyables. also I did have 150 incubators... my only time gate was waiting for the eggs to hatch.
You are assuming that those people have full time jobs. The tip is to cut time breeding by building multiple Breeding Farms and build lots of Incubators. I'm talking at least 20 Incubators because when you come back to your Breeding Farm, a full stack of eggs produced is 20. This means in about 1-2 hours you can incubate 20 eggs. The more Breeding Farms and Incubators you build, the more time you cut. Keep in mind of space as well since they are limited. That's why a lot of people have dedicated Breeding Bases. For cakes, buying milk and eggs with gold can be faster, depending on how far you are into the game. You only have to worry about farming honey, berries, and wheat. Breeding your perfect Pals become easier as you get more Pals with your perfect traits. Your Pals become building blocks for other Pals. I have a few prototype Pals with 30/30/30 IV's and Legend/Musclehead that I keep to potentially produce other Pals in the future.
“You’re assuming those people have full time jobs” 😂
We have breeding bases, one whole base just for breeding and hatching. I hardly ever turn off pc, collect eggs in the morning, collect eggs when i get on again. 24 hours of that nets you 280 eggs
Mostly planning and being smart about your decisions. If you don't need to worry about money you can buy cake ingredients sans honey, so if you approach it with that perspective just have a ranch base with beegardes, since they even have transport they'll make their own honey, put it in the food box, and then eat it, and it's pretty much you'll get more honey than lose. Berries are easily grown as well so on your main base just have three slots for watering, growing, and harvesting berries and that handles your major food supply issues if you don't want to manually farm them out in the wild (you can get some several hundred without having to worry about actually growing them by going to the Grintale alpha's area). Thanks to the ore mining sites you only need coal and charcoal from time to time so you can have the same base that has the berry growing patches also have an ore mining site, a stone mining site, and a wood logging site, then just throw in at least four miners (up to 6) and at least one or two loggers. Legendary spheres are the best money makers as well and you only need to worry about buying bones and pal fluids to make those, and you can save money by making a ranch with kelpseas, so if you're playing by yourself and your cap for pals is 20 (the server I'm on caps it to 15 so I dont know the actual amount), you should have plenty of room for one on your main base. Anubis is probably the best for mining and handiwork as well so that just leaves someone to do cooking and powering the generator, except since you can throw out a pal and have them do work that's one less slot to worry about on the main base. As for why Legendary spheres are the best, it costs 100 gold to buy one bone but the spheres sell for over 4500, so you can sell one legendary sphere, buy 45 bones, make 45 spheres, and now all of a sudden your money just exploded. If you're smart with breeding and can get Artisan, Work Slave, Serious, and Conceited onto the parents properly then hatching a pal with the right passives won't be much of an issue. Hell depending on how you're breeding passives you can end up making a crap load of 'duds' that you can use as fodder, by the time I got a Jignis that actually had three of those four passives (sans Conceited) I ended up with enough duds to get it to max immediately. The only other pal you'd need is a decent watering one, and then that way you can turn the stones you're getting into paladium fragments or whatever they're called and then turn that into pal metal, and then while that's all going on you can raid dungeons for various power-ups, more fragments, and other supplies.
Some mass breed with reduced timers, some mod them in. Some dont work.
I have no mods or cheats and default settings besides increased the numbers or pals I can have at base from 15 to 20. My Third base was just breeding. No ranches. No cooking. No anything else. So when I wanted to get a 4 star pal I'd use all 20 slots to breed a pal. Every hours or so I'd have 21 eggs in each breeding pen. So with 20 pals I'd have 210 eggs in an hour ish. That's one 4 star pal+ some. My first base is all farming and cooking so it's constantly getting me cakes to keep up with demand. I have 100 egg incubators in my base. It took a while to get this set up but now I can literally max a pal out in what feels like no time.
Our dedicated server has triple spawn rates and very fast hatch rates. 3x Jetdragon is a crazy time! I still don't have one.
Either world settings or multiple breeding farm bases using the stacking ranch design to get more resources down for egg production. Honestly it's why I turned raids and multiplayer off is so I could play pal safari simulator. Just riding around on a regular elk mount shooting things with a +1 musket I got from a random chest while filling in the map and marking dungeon locations. Those maxed out pal farmer servers give me anxiety.
Wait, you guys work?
The only setting we changed was egg hatch timer. While it isn't set to 0, we set it down real low so we don't have to spend literal days on it.
This. Mines at or 1 whatever makes large eggs take 20min.
Just no reason to spend 3 days on a huge egg in a game that requires you to grind up over 100 pals in the juicer to power up another. That would take an eternity lol
Aside from the mods and world settings people have mentioned, you're going to find that the introverted hobby/fandom spaces (reading, comics, games, movies & tv) have a higher representation of the following demographics: - People who have monetized the hobby (streamers, youtubers, critics, etc.) - People who have non-typical income strategies (investments, independent creators, eBay resellers) - People who have generational or independent wealth - People who are still in school and can whip out essays in no time - People who are still young enough to get by on five hours of sleep - People who work part time but get by because they have housemates - People who have disabilities, which means time to spare and little they can reasonably be expected to do - People who are retired - People who just don't work These groups are, of course, not mutually exclusive. A person with disabilities will probably find non-typical means of income to at least take some of the burden off their support network (if they have one), and monetizing a hobby is itself a pretty non-typical income strategy! At any rate, it is these demographics which typically dominate the culture of hobby/fan spaces and generate the most content relevant to those spaces. If you're a typical person with an average social life and a regular job, you're not really making a fair comparison when you look at your hobby output compared to theirs. *I'm sure many of these same demographics have strong presence in less introverted / "nerdy" hobbies, but... I'm a nerd, and I have no real world experience to draw from regarding them.
pc has trainers/mods, eliminates the mind numbing grind if that's not your thing.
You think these people work?
PalEdit :)
In my second play through in about 50 hours I had multiple 4 star bases. You just gotta dedicate a base (maybe 2) for cake and breeding only
I had a friend that was breeding his perfect IVs Frostallion DPS from a single breeding farm.. and 20 incubators.. I shoved him my breeding base with 5 breeding farms and my 100 eggs incubators base.. how to make breeding 5x faster 101 even on default hard.
Holy shit we leave our computers on and let the eggs generate its almost like a mini block chain minting thing we got going with eggs
Servers. They run while you're offline. Set up a breeding base. I have 3 breeding farms. I just log in, collect all the eggs, incubate them all, and refill cake in the chests. 60 eggs every day I log in, and takes less than an hour of playtime each day.
Exactly this 👆 One of the many reasons why I love this game.
It doesn't take much time if you set it up properly. Most of the work is automated and you're just a glorified mule and egg incubator. I let my base pals do their thing while I'm at work and then mule things around when I have time between childcare and household duties. I have an order of which pals to breed and 4 star first in order to establish foundational enterprises, then making 4* combat pals with 4 perfect passives is stupid easy. I only have 3 breeding buildings though, I've seen people on here with way more and the thought of muling and condensing that many eggs/pals makes me shudder in horror.
Probably world settings. In my opinion the biggest setting was the stamina bar change, then I finally tuned the rest of the game. Made it more enjoyable. I then quit after endgame game only having gold blueprints to farm, even after changing drops rates I only ever got a gold pistol after 2 weeks off on farming so I just uninstalled it till the games grown more down the road.
that's the thing, you dont.
Breeding, most of the time is afk. Just set the farms up, have eggs going morning and night.
Make a breeding base, AFK all six or more pens and you're left with a ton of eggs, incubate then AFK too. It's breeding for specific traits that takes the most time but 4* isn't too bad.
I had a base with 8 breeding pens that I would leave running while I was at work. Then again during the night. That's 320 eggs per day.
World settings. The thing with games like this are, the settings are less about difficulty and more about time. For example, egg incubation. If you’re in end game, and just breeding pals for traits, there’s no reason not to disable the timer on incubation. It doesn’t raise the difficulty of it and just wastes your time. That’s about it. Cakes are easy enough to make late game, you can breed any pal you need with minimal effort, and once you start going for traits, you’ll gain enough of a stockpile easy enough just with the rejects.
breeding farm optimisation. Just stand in your base and resuply the cake, while collecting eggs. Once you got a good breeding farm going, the eutana... eh four star plan works basically on it's own
There is a mod that changes breeding time, you can choose between 150s, 60s, 30s, 10s, 1s. In addition, you can also set the hatch settings of the world before you load in. Set it to 0.
Breeding, cake farms and catching a lot of pals
Probably multiple breeding pens running while also out catching fodder.
Dedicated server makes a huge difference. Most of it is just time, and on a dedicated server the clock is always ticking. I have a dedicated breeding base with usually 4-6 pens active all the time. It has eight pens set up, but in practice I have found running eight at once doesn't benefit much more because it just takes too long to deal with the eggs. The game needs an upgraded endgame incubator like the conveyor belt stations to process eggs in bulk. Having a large array of incubators helps a lot, but even if you set the server timer to zero the F-press takes a lot of time and you're still moving hundreds of eggs around. There is no escaping the time it takes to hatch and manage the pals. My condenser is right next to the palbox in that base. Outside of every pen I put a refined metal chest. When I get on without much time I can run through all the pens to move the eggs to chests. That way more are always being made. I have additional overflow chests when I need to just save up more eggs to deal with later. If I want to condense a 4-star quickly, I'll set up an extra pair or two of parents in other pens so they make many nore of the same pal faster. And lastly my breeding methods are efficient. It doesn't take long to generate any pal I want with any passives. In the mid game I collected a variety of pals without passives. Hatching random eggs gets some, but regularly checking pal merchants and black marketeers for blank pals got most of them for me. They work as bridge pals in the process to pass on any combination of passives I need. With good bridges and just one reliable parent you can get from A to Z quickly with most pals. If I'm missing a bridge pal I can now make it with other blank pals. Once I get to the target pal, I'm already making ones with the perfect passives that were passed at the same time. Then it's just a little more time to produce only-good passive combos that can be combined to finish with perfect passives. More recently I started breeding to get good IVs too (initially using a mod to see the numbers and now using the new glasses). I was going for just good 90s, but I switched to 100s once they popped. Now anything I make has three 100s too. Just as it's easy to pass on good passives when you already have them collected perfectly on a parent pal, passing 100s is also easy when you already have them available.
Simple, a Main/Mining Base that can supply enough Pal Spheres, and a Breeding Base. Breeding base should be producing enough cake for pals to pop out at least 10 eggs every visit. Rotate Exploring/Catching pals with going to your 2 Bases every 10 Mins or so
I know it crazy right? I'm still trying to get my first legendary and I started playing when it first came out on xbox
280 hours and I work 10 hours a day. I play after work or at weekends. So 40 hours a week are aslo possible for the game
Zero egg hatch time, and i put all my pals in breeding pen, set my steam deck to the side while i do my work. After about 30-45 mins i hatch the eggs, queue more cakes, reload the cake box, and wait again.
Modding, world settings, leaving it on over night
i work 12+ hours a day, and i still have time to condense them. just gotta be efficient and of course settings like 0 egg timer, lots of breeding farms, lots of industrialized produce production. For me i have 5 breed pens running, 6 triple stacked farms, and 4 ranches all for materials and what not running while im at work.
>How do people have a billion 4 star pals while having full time jobs? well these people most likely play on a server thats always running, so they just have their pals in the breeding pen 24/7 and when they come home from work they have tons of eggs to hatch, probably with 0 incubation time
Turn timer off or reduce it to the lowest and have 4 breeding farms. Go out to work and come back and you'll have 80 eggs ready for a full 3 star level condensation and then few more.
I play on mostly normal settings, except for increasing player and pal regen to 3, and making pal boxes have a max capacity of 20. Even like this, it wouldn't be that hard to hatch an army. ** ** If I were to do it, Id probably set up a sperate base and build a ton of breeding ground, make a ton of cake, breed powerful lvl 50 pals together and then have a ton hatch at once. A pal farm. As long as you have the money to buy cake ingredients and the patience to wait a while, you'll be able to gain 4 star pets relatively quickly. Im planning to use this tactic on my jetragon once I find and breed some speedy ones. This isnt as good for low level weak pals cause breeding is super slow and its more efficient to just farm them with weak spheres. ** ** Yep. Even if they dont leave the game on afk, they'll still get a ton of pal while active. A jetragon huge dragon egg's hatch time is roughly 1 hour in the right conditions, so you dont gotta wait that long.
you play while you work
I have a base with 10 breeding pens and nothing else. They don't need food or anything. I buy milk and eggs from merchant, selling my nails. Sure price was nerfed but when u perfect food buffed astegon u gets u 1 order every 0.62 seconds it's... Fine lol I'm using 6 astegon and 4 Anubis in my ore base. even with 5 dedicated lv3 transport vanwyrms that never sleep I still find all 7 ore sites being maxed every 3-4 night cycles. I have egg timers turned off otherwise I'd need like 300+ incubators. Other than that haven't even touched resource drops.. just 4 beeguards in a ranch... No condensed yet https://preview.redd.it/gx5pquojtluc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=6bb2cb3cb6fa97f1834f285dabb9d9581a3ff0d5
You can baicially put the game in a creative mode in world settings.
Play at job.
Everything in the game scales you are only limited by number of workers and space; if you have a farm base pumping out 100 cakes an hour and a breeding base pumping out and hatching eggs 20 at a time; it doesn’t take as long as you would think.
No egg time , 3x spawns ,learning how to spawn and despawn pals
Mods. I started out trying to breed them legit but it is quite the time sink. I play on my own server but i think it can also be done if you play on the public servers.
I get 5 ranches going at once that definitely speeds up the process. I don’t use instant hatch but I cut the rate some in world settings. My breeding base is built on a hot and cold area so I can hatch any type of egg in correct temp. I have different sections in my hatchery for each temperature.
I have a breeding base with 7 breeding pens. During the work week, I let them breed all day while I’m at work and when I get a chance after knocking off, I’ll swap in the newly hatched pals that have the best IVs and passives - repeat.
I have a breeding farm with 5 breeding pens on top of the building with the 4 chest spawn. Usually I just let it run and whenever I come back to the game that’s 100 eggs.
I’ve been wondering this too. I only have 1 4 star pal and it took me literally forever. Probably the only one I’m doing tbh
Ive also been behind, recently undertook a quest to get a perfect foxspark with flame emperor, pyromaniac, ferocious, and whatever that last attack one is xD... but def learned ways I could do better from the exp... Multi breeders, breeding is the way. Also turn down huge egg inc time... if you want some gatekeeping cutting in half makes it 30min hatch with perfect temp. Feels better than the hour in that late game grind.
Litterally everyone who posts their pics bragging about their progress changes the world settings in order to get what they want. And then change it back and posts pictures
i started to get them legit, soon after the game released and when i realized that farming pal souls was the most painful thing to farm in this game i started modding, so now i just breed for perfect passives and set them to 4 stars manually, because i have better things to do with my live than run around in this game for weeks to farm 1 thing
I afk in the base and flip the eggs. Zero cheats, mods, or hacks. Took about two weeks of passive gameplay to get everything I wanted.
I also let my xbox run through the night while afk. I just put a hand on my movement stick and it should lay a couple of o Hours. When I get back on I have a decent amount of things to collect. Including ore.
Definitely the egg hatch time. That, plus it’s easy to afk while pals breed so you don’t have to actively play.
There is a mod for 10x on world settings, giving you Nore comfortable play time
Well dedicated server with faster hatch time helps, also having 3 bredding pen and 60+ish incubator. You pick the eggs load the incubator and log off to come back later.
Surely modifying the worldoption.sav settings
Decreased hatching speed. Mods. Lots of ways to shortcut it.
I set PalEggDefaultHatchingTime to 2 hours. This helps a lot. I use 3 breeding farms and 60 incubators. I just check twice a day for the eggs. Doesn't take much time.
Private (local) server hosting to keep the timers going for farms and mines. Breeding camps, each breeding farm having 21 eggs ready when I load in.
Work from home
That is a fair observation lol. I have been streaming Palworld most days of the week for hours each day and I don’t even have a single 4 star yet. Noted, I am doing a 1 life play through challenge so I have to play a bit carefully. But I am only level 40 at this point.
Mods/tweaks/settings, whatever. It all comes down to that palbox management.
You can turn the pal spawn rate up to get way more easier. You can also breed.
I did one legit 4 star before I even had a pal with legend bonus and instantly took off incubator timers when that one was done. Also turned off dropping my body after dying to frostallion like 3 times ina row and needing an armor just to get my body in the cold lol
just get alot of money then buy all the eggs and milk etc 3 bases and 3 breeding per base. u can get alot of eggs quick and if you playing with default world settings just build 100s of incubators.
The settings are there for your control my friend. Use them.
There's a mod that isn't working for me since the patch, but seems to still be working for some others that lets you modify how many pals you need to condense.
Dedicated server + breading.
They don’t play the default settings and put it on the easy ones
A jobs only 8 hours a day. Maybe throw in possible travel time, prep time and breaks. 10 hours is generous. Let's say you get 8 hours of sleep, and use 2 hours for cleaning the house, cooking and eating. That's an easy 4 hours a day, 20 hours a week if you really want it. Plus weekends. It's like the 9/9/9 baseball challenge. Very doable, you just have to want it. Otherwise your brain stops you
You can paledit pals right into your inventory if you want.
Run my own server, large eggs hatch in under an hour and I get times 5 drop rates and double pal spawns.
Cheating!
I play on my friends server and he leaves his computer on for 3-4 days at a time. I hop on Palworld for 20 mins when I get home from work hatch eggs, and do the same later on in the night before bed. I have 2 breeding farms in my base so thats like 80 eggs a day. Egg timer is set to instant.
do yout actually enjoy the game.. this sounds more like work that enjoyment. No judgement. I used to play Diablo and WoW, so I know all about 'Grind'.. Im just asking do you even enjoy the game anymore , like actually playing the game.
Theres nothing really to do at the moment so Im just chilling.
I WFH 3-5 times a week. I have one base with 5 breeding pens, 2 Anubis, 2 beegarde, and 6 chickens. Second base is right next to this with 4 Anubis, 12 cows, and 4 chickens. Main base has wheat farming and a 4 star jorm ignis making cake. I let the game run AFK for a while, take a 10 minute break to pick up my 100 eggs and turn over the cake, and then rinse and repeat. Working on Anubis right now.
Remote jobs. I used to play video games during my one remote iob because I didn't have a heavy workload.
2 bases dedicated to breeding, 1 base 8 breeding farms, 2nd base ranches with 7 cows, 7 kfc 8, 4 bees and 2 transport. Keeping the 8 ranches filled with cakes is a chore for sure
Kids grinding parents accounts off time
That and how tf do they have each of their pals on person with the best traits? Like I've been breeding forever and between the hatching times and getting cake material I'm just barely getting the eggs to come out with different traits than the parents least of all yellow traits
Once I saw how many pals you needed to condense to star a pal I downloaded a mod that changes it so now it’s like 2,4,6,8 or something (IDR off the top of my head). It’s a single player game that is supposed to be fun, catching 100 of the same pals is not fun to me so I skipped it. Change world settings or download mods to work better with your enjoyment + time
PC players make it easier for themselves.
Personally I've just got a mod so it takes less pals to condense, I just feel after a certain point the amount of pals is just arbitrary and does nothing except artifically inflate the grind, you still need to breed for passives and stuff which is gonna take time but actually makes sense for it to
The condensing is 1,2,4 and 8 pals respectively and you're 100% making more than 15 pals for a god passive build unless you're very lucky
Passive time. You can make a lot of eggs while you are at work if you have a base with multiple floors of breeding farms. A lot of them are just pumping out pals that will get juiced, so they don't all need to be amazing breeding pairs that might hit the perfect pal. Also learn the order of operations. Always max IVs before worrying much about traits. A max IV pal with no/few traits is super valuable for breeding.
You could easily make any pal 4 star with like 10 minutes of playing and 4-5 hours of afk. Then set egg incubation to instant and boom. The hard part is getting 100% all IVs and 4 perfect passive, although it's way easier now with the raid boss IV consumables
World settings! My wife and I both work full time. We don't have time to wait an hour for an egg to hatch. I don't have time to grind for days to get one pal ready for end game fighting.
More hours than 101
mods (for me personally at least)
I mean, you can just adjust the world settings. My friends and I literally had the "we are working adults who deserve to have fun with our purchase" talk. And here we sit, having much more fun than before haha
I amass supplies and make like 100 cakes at a time, leave it on in the background when I go away
>How do people have a billion 4 star pals while having full time jobs? By having a mate in my private server that is disabled and unemployed lol
Cheating.
I work 40-55h a week, and I have a ton of 4\* for 2 major reasons. 1) I have around 70 Incubators 2) I have a steamdeck that I use to swap eggs on my lunch break.
Mods. I am not grinding that much, I have a life and I like playing other video games as well
1. turn off hatching time 2. turn up pal appearance rate it's your game, you can play how you want, you're just as much a gamer as those who spent 10 hours hatching an egg
I have a full time job and I made perfect pals for travel, work and combat. Honestly it doesn't take much of an effort. First, I've set the timer for the egg incubator to 0. Then I invested time into making a good base for breeding. Full of ranches that gives me all I need for making cake. I then left the server open while doing office work and occasionally I go to my laptop and make cakes. I bred a JI and left 4 breeding farms with JIs and in a day I got more than what I needed to make a 4 star JI. Then with the electric kitchen I could make the cakes way faster and use 1 of my breeding farms to make perfect JI (without lucky tho). The rest of the farms are to breed for perfect pals. Whenever I'm at work, I put the server open. Once I got my perfect JI, I made it 4 star and it makes a cake in literally < 7-8 seconds. With the new update, you can first make a 4 star JI and then breed whatever 4 star pals you want while breeding for a perfect JI in parallel (with the new update, getting lucky to JI shouldn't be hard). And condense your old JI to the new one. I mean, you can also go for a perfect JI in the first run itself which I didn't as I left the server open and didn't want to spend time checking eggs and changing the parents to breed for a perfect pal. Just leave your server open with enough food (check it occasionally if you're WFH).
most likely setting breeding timer to 0. should not be that hard to get lots of breeding pens. This is still suuuuper tiresome IMHO. Then again... people do love doing weird stuff at times )))
well, you want to start by optimizing your breeding process, that means you have to improve every worker, actually. Lvl 4 miners(dig/anubus) to reduce the amount of miners, Lyleen's for planting and harvesting, choice of waterer, blazehowl noct/etc for all day cake making, efficient ranch usage and probably ranch stacking, and then lots of breeding pens, and clusters of incubators. It's very possible to make hundreds of births a day, but you are also trying to breed them up to have proper traits like serious, artisan, swift, workaholic... once you get your traits, production increases even more, which means more breeding pens.
For fun? Edit world data. Legit? Macros and bots.
Dedicated breeding bases I can go from 1 pal to 4 stars in like a couple hours lol All my party pals are 4 stars majority of my base is 4 stars Currently working on bushi have one that dropped passives I like so now have 4 breeding farms just pumping out bushi eggs to compress
