Best Structures for Your Base

This is a guide for unlocking and picking the best base structures for your base in Palworld. Learn about these structures' Technology Level, building requirements, and their strong points.

Best Starting Base Structures

Technology Levels 1 - 5

Structure	Requirements	Points
Shoddy Bed	Tech Level: 3 Points: 1 Wood (x20) Fiber (x5) Wool (x1)	• Necessary for passing the night. • Requires Wooden Structure Set (bed needs to be placed within 3 walls + 1 roof) to be used.
Repair Bench	Tech Level: 2 Points: 1 Wood (x10) Stone (x10)	• Highly useful for repairing tools at a lower cost than crafting them.
Straw Pal Bed	Tech Level: 3 Points: 2 Wood (x10) Fiber (x5)	• Needed for preventing stress in Pals by allowing them to sleep there at night. • Make one Straw Pal Bed for each one working Pal.
Campfire	Tech Level: 2 Points: 1 Wood (x10)	Accepted Work Suitability: Kindling • Needed for cooking food. Cooked Food fills more of the hunger bar and has a longer expiration timer.
Wooden Structure Set	Tech Level: 2 Points: 2 Wood (x2)	• Necessary for using the Shoddy Bed (bed needs to be placed within 3 walls + 1 roof). • Can be used to make walls when building on a Wooden Foundation.
Feed Box	Tech Level: 4 Points: 2 Wood (x20)	• Used for hands-off feeding of Pals. Pals will automatically approach the Feed Box whenever they are hungry.
Berry Plantation	Tech Level: 5 Points: 2 Berry Seeds (x3) Wood (x20) Stone (x20)	Accepted Work Suitabilities: Planting Watering Gathering • Serves as a good beginning source of food. • Produces Red Berries.
Ranch	Tech Level: 5 Points: 2 Wood (x50) Stone (x20) Fiber (x30)	Accepted Work Suitability: Farming • Item drops here are produced depending on the kind of the Pal working in it and its Partner Skill. Recommended Drops: Vixy → Random (such as basic Pal Spheres) Chikipi → Egg Lamball → Wool

Once you have your Pal Box and Primitive Workbench constructed at the beginning of the game's tutorial, the above structures are what you want to prioritize when starting in Palworld.

These structures should be relatively easy to get items for since most materials can be gathered nearby. Wool can be obtained from defeating or capturing nearby Lamballs.

By this point, you should have properly organized your base and would be on your way to gathering Ore to make Ingots. By Level 15, you can start considering Mills, Wheat Plantations, and Monitoring Stands if you are thinking of more closely managing your base.

You will want to check for some of the best base locations you can find so that you can get the most out of material production and crafting.

This will also be the period where you will be ready to start breeding Pals through the Breeding Farm. Rare pals can come out of breeding and it can be used to control which Pals can have specific skills like the Lucky Passive Skill.

Check Work Suitabilities and Passive Skills

Once you have set up your base structures, you will want to consider what Pals to have in your base by primarily examining their Work Suitabilities and work-related Passive Skills.

Find the Best Base Locations

Abundant in Materials

A good base should at least be strategically built on wide, accessible flat land. Likewise, it should be near abundant crafting resources and materials to help players expand structures efficiently.

Bases in good locations will make for convenient resupply points for food, tools, and more. It will also serve as an alternative Fast Travel point away from Great Eagle Statues.

Best Base Locations

Dedicated Ore Mining Bases

There are multiple locations in the world that have multiple Ore Mining Nodes. These locations create the perfect spot for bases dedicated to Mining as much Ore as possible.

Ore is used for making more advanced forms of tools and construction. Make sure to find a place abundant in these resources to get a lot out of your crafting progression!
