Palworld Guide
Back up an old world before the first 1.0 session, then inspect mission resets, map state, Partner Skills, party roles, Work Suitability, production, combat movement, and world settings one system at a time before spending into level 80 content.
Quick actions
Open the player job in front of you
Each route leads to a current table, a repeatable first-session step, or a recovery flow.
Current blockers
A returning player should audit the save before chasing new content
Start from the problem you can name, then take the smallest safe next action.
Open route
My old Pal team feels different
Partner Skills for more than 200 Pals were reworked and same-Pal stacking was restricted in most cases. Re-read every active team job.
My base assignments changed
Work Suitability now reaches level 10 and all Pals were rebalanced. Audit each production lane before expanding.
Returning-player route
Back up, inspect, then rebuild one system at a time
Version 1.0 changes progression, world placement, party skills, combat, and base work at the same time. A clean audit preserves the cause of every fix.
- 1Back up the save
Keep a recovery point before opening and rewriting the old world state.
- 2Read mission and map state
Check reset missions, new Watchtowers, settlements, islands, Sunreach, and the World Tree route.
- 3Audit party skills
Re-read Partner Skills, active skills, passives, work roles, and stacking behavior.
- 4Run the base
Watch one complete production cycle under the new Work Suitability balance.
- 5Spend into 1.0
Pursue level 80, Awakening, Mutation, new weapons, and new areas after the old loop is stable.
Game systems
The update changes both goals and old assumptions
Use the Change Finder to decide whether to keep, retest, or rebuild each part of the save.

| Pals | 72 additions, Partner Skill rework, Awakening, Mutation, work balance. | Re-read the party. |
| Combat | Movement, active skills, Tower Bosses, commands, weapons. | Test one familiar fight. |
| Base | Work Suitability levels, facilities, UI, raids, production. | Observe one full cycle. |
