Palworld 1.0'S Hidden Base Fix: How the Exclusion List Solves Worker Ai Issues
Unlocking the full potential of these changes requires rethinking layout design. Instead of isolating multi-skilled Pals in separate compounds, bases can operate as dense industrial hubs by dividing staff into specialized teams.
For dedicated crafting compounds, the optimal layout strips all competing tasks from multi-role builders. On Anubis and Lyleen, turn off Mining, Planting, and Transporting entirely, preserving strictly Handiwork. Pair them with nocturnal, flying haulers like Helzephyr. Because Helzephyr possesses only Transporting, it cannot run off to craft, harvest, or plant. It sweeps up finished goods from the factory floor and deposits them straight into nearby chests without stopping.
For resource gathering routines across stone, coal, and sulfur nodes, assign dedicated heavy-hitters like Blazamut or Digtoise. Disable Kindling on Blazamut to ensure it focuses entirely on the ore pits. Place dedicated food baskets directly beside the resource deposits to shorten transit distances. When workers only interact with two nodes, the mineral vein and the feeding trough, they run in tight, high-efficiency loops that maintain high SAN levels throughout full day-night cycles.
