Setting up a human-staffed base
A human-staffed Palworld base works best as a crafting hub: place humans on workbenches and production lines, keep three to four elemental Pals for Kindling, Watering and Generating Electricity, and run a hot spring so SAN never bottoms out.

Layout
Cluster benches within a 15m radius so Transporting workers make short trips — human pathing is worse than Pal pathing.
Food supply
Humans eat from the Feed Box like Pals. Berry plantations plus a cooking pot keep 10 workers fed indefinitely.
SAN management
One hot spring per five workers. Below 50 SAN, workers slack; below 20 they can become depressed or run away.
Mixed crews
Two humans on Handiwork plus Anubis and Mossanda clears a full schematic queue faster than any all-human crew.
Defence
Human workers do not fight. Keep two combat Pals stationed or a raid will wipe the crew.
