Base automation: Palworld as a factory game
A late-game Palworld base is a factory: ore and coal feed smelters, plantations feed cooking, power generators run production lines, and Pals with the right work suitabilities keep every stage fed without you.

Work suitabilities are the wiring
Each Pal has rated work types. A base runs well when every stage of a chain has a specialist, not when it has your strongest fighters.
Production chains
Mining to smelting to crafting, and farming to cooking, are the two backbone chains. Bottlenecks almost always sit at transporting or kindling.
Power and logistics
Electric Pals in generators and dedicated transporters are the two upgrades that most change base throughput per Pal slot.
Sanity and food
Overworked Pals lose sanity and stop producing. Hot springs, beds and a stocked food box are throughput features, not comfort features.
Planning it
Filter by work suitability on /pals and stage the crew in /team-builder before committing base slots.
