What Palworld updates mean for tier lists and tools
Every balance patch can move a Pal between tiers: capture-rate, work-speed, ride-speed and damage changes all feed the maths behind tier lists, breeding plans and damage calculators.

Capture rates
A capture-rate change alters which sphere tier is efficient at which HP threshold, which is exactly what the Pal Stars /capture-rates tool computes.
Work speed and base output
Work-suitability retuning reshuffles which workers are worth a base slot; re-check the base ratings rather than trusting a pre-patch build.
Mounts and ride speed
Ride-speed adjustments change the traversal meta directly. Compare current figures on /mounts after any patch touching movement.
Combat maths
Boss health, defence and element multipliers feed /damage. A single multiplier change can flip which loadout kills a tower boss fastest.
How Pal Stars keeps current
The database is re-audited against official sources on every update cycle, and the /data-integrity page shows what has been verified.
