Ultimate Palworld Base Building Layout & SAN Decay Prevention
Design zero-bug automated bases for mining, breeding, and farming while preventing Pal pathing errors, starvation, and SAN loss.
Pathing failures are the #1 cause of base inefficiency in Palworld. When Pals fail to reach food boxes or hot springs, their Sanity (SAN) drops quickly, leading to depression, fractures, and stalled production loops.
Base Optimization Checklist
- Maintain 2-wall high clearances for medium Pals and 3-wall clearances for large Pals (Astegon, Jormuntide).
- Place Feed Boxes directly next to beds and main work nodes to minimize walk times.
- Build high-tier Hot Springs (High Quality Hot Spring) near work centers to ensure rapid SAN recovery.
- Use our Work Suitability Calculator to match exact worker counts to base facilities.
FAQ
How do I stop Pals from starving in my base?
Ensure a 3-wall height clearance on all structures and place Feed Boxes adjacent to work stations.
