If you’re tired of hoofing it around the world, either on your own two feet, or on the back of a reliable Pal, you may grab Yangff’s Always Fast Travel mod to jump to any fast travel point you’ve already unlocked; just like inSkyrim.

Oh, and as an added bonus, this mod makes your character move faster than normal, so that’ll help you unlock fast travel points quicker. Otherwise,you can always work towards upgrading your gliderif you want to get around easier.

It’s no secret that breeding is a big part of the game, since it grants the potential to yield powerful combinations and passive skills for your Pals, but it sure does take a while, especially when you’re having to make cakes all the time.

With Zouzoulle’s Faster Breeding mod, you can set how fast you’d like breeding time to occur, all the way down to a single second if you’d like. Also, as an optional choice, you can just use berries instead of cake to initiate breeding.

It’s not every day someone opts to be their very own, personal resource hauler, but if that’s what you’d rather do, rather than shifting the burden to your Pals, you should pick up Vuxacha’s Carry Weight Increase mod to make your dreams come true.

Once you’ve gotten that downloaded and all squared away,ensure to check out our complete guide for Palwordif you need any help figuring out where to farm specific resources, like leather, milk, honey, high-quality Pal oil, and much more.

InhumanityMods

Well, for those of you who suffer from analysis paralysis, maybe more information isn’t always better, but if you want to save time knowing which Pals to catch, InhumanityMods' Pal Info mod will give you tons of info about wild Pals, such as:

If you’re looking to maximize the strength, efficiency, and potency of your Pals, this mod is probably the most direct way of pursuing that goal. Go on, grow powerful and mold the world to your liking; transcend the mortal frame and shape the land just as a god would form its creations like clay.

When done right, stamina costs or systems can create challenging but entertaining gameplay mechanics, like inElden RingorTears Of The Kingdom. Sometimes, though, they can simply feel like a nuisance or hindrance to the player.

If you’re getting annoyed by having to give your flying Pal a rest over and over, you’ll thankfully be able to take to the skies as long as you’d like with Vuxacha’s Remove Flying Stamina Cost mod. If you’d like,you can check out our guide on the best Pals for transportation, too.

Picture this: you’ve just spent hours capturingthe best Pals for farming, and now you’ve got a fancy,automated farm setupoutputting heaps of food for you and your beloved Pals. There’s just one problem, though; you’re making more food than you can consume.

If you’re not selling the surplus, the forces of entropy are eventually going to spoil your hard-earned food. If this is a big problem for you, Yakuzadeso’s No Food Decay mod is the answer to your prayers. Wouldn’t it be nice if food never spoiled in real life?

Infinite Or Increase Durability

Durability tends to be a necessary mechanic for most Survival games, since a significant portion of the gameplay loop is dedicated to general maintenance. Also, it’d be pretty boring if you only ever had to make a tool or weapon once for an entire playthrough.

Durability systems, though, can get problematic, especially if you’re being forced to constantly craft new tools, over and over again. If Palworld’s durability system feels a bit unbalanced to you, go ahead and grab Vuxacha’s Infinite Or Increase Durability mod.

W1ns

While this mod might not be for everyone, and is probably best suited for a brand new, second playthrough of the game, if you just want to know exactly where each fast travel point is, or where specific Pals are, MapUnlocker by W1ns will completely remove the fog of war from the map.

Keep in mind, though, that this modwill notautomatically unlock every fast travel point for you; you’ll still have to go and activate them. At least there won’t be any confusion about directions!
