How many workbenches are there in Palworld?
Nine core crafting stations: Primitive Workbench, High Quality Workbench, Production Assembly Line, Production Assembly Line II, Weapon Workbench, Weapon Assembly Line, Sphere Assembly Line, Pal Gear Workbench and the Ancient Precision Workbench.
What is the best workbench in Palworld?
Production Assembly Line II for general crafting throughput, and the Precision Workbench for endgame Ancient gear.
Which Pals work at workbenches?
Any Pal with the Handiwork suitability. Higher suitability levels and condensed stars increase speed.
Why do my Pals not craft?
Missing materials nearby, low hunger or sanity, rain on an unroofed bench, or blocked pathing between the chest and the bench.
Should I build multiple workbenches?
Yes — crafting speed is per-station, so extra benches with their own workers scale throughput far better than upgrading one Pal.
Do workbenches keep running when I log off?
Progress continues while the base is loaded on the server. On single-player, work resumes when you return to the base.
