Defending your Palfarm from raids and underground threats
Palfarm is not purely peaceful: dangerous Pals raid your fields and lurk underground, and you are expected to hunt them and seize their resources to keep expanding the farm.

Key takeaways
- ✓Raid pressure
- ✓Underground lurkers
- ✓Hunting as economy
- ✓Prepare before season peaks
Raid pressure
Hostile Pals target planted fields, so undefended crops are a real loss rather than a cosmetic event.
Underground lurkers
Official copy calls out threats beneath the island, implying dig or cave encounters separate from surface raids.
Hunting as economy
Beating raiders yields resources you feed straight back into farm growth, tying combat to progression instead of walling it off.
Prepare before season peaks
Plan defences before big harvest windows; losing an autumn harvest costs the most market income.
Tone warning
Pocketpair's dark comedy persists — the harvest being 'red and warm' is a joke about exactly what you think it is.
