How to Assign Pals to Work

You can expect to spend a lot of time putting together an efficient base in Palworld, and you'll rely on your Pals to work hard on your behalf while you're out exploring. While you can just drop Pals from your Palbox In your base and they'll get to work on a random task that suits their proficiencies, it's most efficient to manually assign your Pals to workstations to ensure they're used to their full potential.

Deploy Pals to Your Base

To assign Pals to work on your base, simply head to your Pal Box and interact with it. A window should pop up on your screen which would show two segments. The top segment is your Pal Storage where the game stores your extra Pals and the bottom segment is where worker Pals are placed.

Simply drag and drop a Pal from your Pal Storage or your party to one of the circles at the bottom part of the window to assign them to work in your base. Once this is done, the Pal should spawn right in front of you and start shuffling towards a work site in your base that they can work on.

Manually Assign Pals

But as mentioned above, there are times when you want your Pals to focus on a specific task. If you're interested in doing this, head over to one of your Pals and lift it. After that, head to the site you want them to focus on and throw them near it. There should be a notification that says they are now focusing on doing that specific task. One thing to note though that this acts more as a suggestion for the Pals and sometimes after a few minutes, they will start doing something else that interests them.

If you tried to lift and throw your Pal towards a specific site and it seems like they're not doing the job, you might want to check whether they're compatible with the job you're forcing them to do. Each site will have a notification on what kind of work suitability is needed for a Pal to operate it.

Another way of ensuring that a Pal works on that site is by summoning a Pal from your party to do it. We've found that the summoned Pal typically stays on the job for longer compared to the ones summoned by the Pal Box.
