How to prepare for the Side by Side update
Use the time before Side by Side to finish your base material chains, stock up on spheres and food, and back up your world. The v1.0.3 and v1.0.4 changes make that much faster than it was at launch.
Updated for the current Palworld patch
- ✓Build up your resources now
- ✓Get aquatic building early
- ✓Finish the new sub-missions
- ✓Stock Tower Boss gear
Build up your resources now
Ancient Bark now only needs Lumbering level 1, and trees drop twice as much Fiber. A wood base today produces far more than it did at 1.0. See /guides for base layouts.
Get aquatic building early
The Aquatic Construction Kit now unlocks at level 23 for one Ancient Technology Point instead of level 66 for four, so water bases are open early on any new save.
Finish the new sub-missions
Beyond Dimensions starts with an NPC at Fisherman's Point in Mount Obsidian, and From the Far Side of the Moon follows it. Clear both so you're caught up when new content arrives.
Stock Tower Boss gear
The teaser leaned on Tower Boss imagery. Whatever that turns out to mean, having a leveled team and plenty of high-tier spheres won't hurt.
Back up your save
Copy your save folder or server world before patch day. If something breaks, you can roll back instead of starting over.
