Yeah, I rarely revisit one of these after the initial release.

There's been a handful like 7 Days to Die which is in it's 11th year of alpha I believe, but they're pretty rare.

Game definitely feels like an early access game, both due to bugginess of some core systems and how imbalanced some of the late-game loops are. It won't take toooo much to resolve both of those issues. Will be a bit harder to add a true end-game given how loose the combat is, and that's probably OK.

I can see myself playing it in a couple years. I can also see myself preferring to play some other new buggy ass unfinished mess instead like Downhammer says.

You can buy eggs and milk from the red merchants for like 50 gold each. Actually farming them yourself is for suckers.

Each cake takes 8 eggs and 7 milks iirc, or 750 gold worth. At 116 cakes to max out a pal's star level, that's 87,000 gold just for one Pal, and just for one of the easiest parts of a cake to farm. Easier to just catch a handful of chickens and cows, then condense them and ranch them (along a Beegarde) for Honey and save the $$$ for HQ Quality Pal Oil, Leather, Bone, etc.

What are you doing that you don't have room at some base for 3+ pals in a cake ranch? If you're willing to buy eggs/milk/honey from a merchant I would assume you're also buying ammo and other more complex items from the merchant so you wouldn't need a sulfur base and quartz isn't a recurring expense to justify a dedicated setup. If you're ganking black marketers non stop and have the gold to spare, sure, buy ingredients for everything but I'm genuinely curious what you have 45-60 pals doing that you can't spare a couple for a ranch. I get that buying from a merchant is easy, but there's literally nothing easier than coming back to a stocked freezer from your ranch.

And if your problem is your pals eat your cake materials just put a single cotton candy or honey in the 2-5th feed box slots. Won't decay and won't fill with edible ingredients.

Respawn and kill 7 black marketeers every time you wanna max out a pal. 10-15k gold each. Faster than waiting for 116 cakes worth of ingredients to generate with other loot benefits as well.

but yeah I have a ranch going too. Plenty of room for everything.

Ark and Rust are like different sides of the long-term Survival genre. Still a ton of people playing both and constant content added. I never played either one unfortunately, but people who are really go-hards in survival games live and breathe one or both of those games.

Every survival game is either "____ Rust" or "_____ Ark" at this point when the hardcore survival people talk about them.
One of my kids, younger one, 18, loves ARK. Him and his buddies constantly keep going back to play this game. My other kid, older, 23 now, loves his Rust. Hes been playing this game for years and him and his buddies have their bases or whatever and constantly get into PvP fights over them. Ive never tried either but they have literal THOUSANDS of hours into these two games. Not sure about Ark, but I know Rust was one of the first survival, building type games after that Dayz game became popular.

Main reason I don’t play Rust too long is the mandatory map resets every 30 days. Eventually you get sick of starting from scratch

(Xbox version v0.2.0.6 will be released when ready. )

**Patch Notes:**

===

**▼New Content**
・Implemented the first Raid Boss
⤷ You can summon Raid Boss Pals by using slabs at the new Summoning Altar
⤷ Raid Boss Pals summoned by slabs are very powerful and can not be captured. Work alongside your base Pals to take on these powerful foes.
⤷ Pals Eggs can drop after defeating Raid Boss Pals.
⤷ The "extreme" version of the Raid Boss is incredibly powerful and difficult to defeat

・New "Training Manual" items have been added. These manuals allow you to give experience points to Pals.
・New item "Ancient Technical Manual" has been added. This manual gives you ancient technology points and can be randomly found inside dungeon chests.
・New "Recovery Meds" items have been added. Using these meds will slowly recover your HP over time.

・New item "Ring of Mercy" has been added. When wearing this ring, you cannot reduce enemy HP below 1 when attacking.
・New armour "Multiclimate Undershirt" has been added. Protect yourself against both the heat and the cold with just one slot!
・New building "Electric Egg Incubator" has been added. This incubator consumes electricity to automatically adjust the temperature to the optimum temperature for each egg.
・New building "Ore Mining Site" has been added. This mining site allows you to produce ores from the comfort of your base!

**▼Pals**

・The tutorial has been improved and renamed to "Journey"
・You can now show/hide the "Journey" in the game options
・Damage number display size can be changed in the game options.
(In Raid Boss battles, the damage numbers tend to overlap a lot and it may be difficult to see, so we recommend adjusting the size)

**▼Player**
・Items dropped by players after death on a dedicated server can now be picked up by anyone after 24 hours of real-time have passed
・Added a new "sleeping" player emote


**▼Base Related**
・You can now allow/disallow certain work for base Pals at the Monitoring Stand
・Chest filters have been added. Select item types to allow or disallow inside chests

・Building and building piece placement rules have been relaxed
⤷ You can now connect stairs facing upwards
⤷ Roof pieces can now directly connect to foundations
⤷ Triangular walls can now be connected to stairs

・You can now force a Pal to work and cancel their break by picking them up and throwing them towards a facility
(Pals recover their SAN while taking a break, so be careful!)
・Fixed assignments remain fixed, even after bad events occur. Previously, some assignments would change due to certain conditions, but now they will remain fixed unless the Pal is placed inside the Pal Box

・Flying and floating Pals are now immune to falling damage
・Shop price adjustments

・Fixed a bug where treasure chests would become empty when dying in a dungeon, etc

・Fixed an issue where players were not receiving loot when capturing Pals while mounted
・Adjusted the HP of the Legendary Pal and fixed an issue where the difference in HP between the captured Legendary Pal and the bred Legendary Pal was too large
・Fixed an issue where Pal would eat while riding.

For players on a persistent multiplayer server, do pals work correctly after you log off, or do they still immediately spiral into starvation and depression?

They've improved significantly the automation while you're "not there", so this may impact the multiplayer aspect.

My main concern remains the breeding ranch, which is usually dropping pals to zero after a time - they don't go to the sleeping beds, they don't seem to go eat, they just fuck. That's nice when you wants lots of eggs for condenser, but, you know, it gets tiresome to put them regularly in the pal box to fix, then run after them to catch them and put them back into the breeding pit.

I solved this problem two months ago by putting a feed bag and two beds inside the breeding ranch. Does this no longer work?

I just started playing this with my kid, since he got bored with Icarus.

It's a ton of fun, any starting tips for us?

1. Don't hesitate to make an early base, do stuff, then move it to a better place.
2. Bases are balanced between local resources, being flat and having a defensive position; there's no optimal place (there's a neat place next to the low-level Chillet Alpha in the starting hills on a mesa accessed through a single bridge, totally impregnable, good starting resources, but meh terrain).
3. Forget about those mega-bases you see all over Youtube; they're only for the end-game.
4. Do not hesitate to sell ASAP any pal with negative traits. You'll find enough to replace them (similarly, if you want to buy a pal, never buy one without good traits or with a negative one, even to complete your collection).
5. Eggs. Eggs everywhere. Collect and hatch.
6. Camps. Camps everywhere. Invade and "free" those sad pals.
7. Get any flying mount asap. It changes your life.
8. Breeding is fun, just make sure you have a few incubators in cooler places and a few next to a campfire or similar.
9. If you can't capture a Beegarde for that sweet honey at your ranch, don't worry. Harvest the dropped honey after they explode and breed one from more... tractable pals (easy low-level ones: Eikthyrdeer + Fuddler; Melpaca + Tanzee; Hoocrates + Tombat).

And that's pretty much it. You can also have a look at maps, like Palworld Interactive Map to figure out useful stuff. There are a few unique pals located on those islands you see in the distance, but make sure you have enough stamina to get there.
