Two benches beat one fast Pal
Crafting is per-station, so a second Pal Gear Workbench with its own workers doubles throughput where a single upgraded worker does not.
Chest adjacency
Put the input chest directly beside the bench. Transport Pals will keep it filled from remote chests.
Watch sanity
Sanity below 50% halves work speed. A Hot Spring plus beds keeps the whole workforce near 100%.
Condense your crafters
A 4-star condensed Handiwork Pal clears queues dramatically faster — see /guides/pal-essence-condenser-guide.
Avoid pathing traps
Stairs, tight doorways and multi-level bases cause Pals to get stuck. Keep production on one flat floor.
