How to Build Your First Pal Box in Palworld

Getting started in Palworld means building your first Pal Box, which is essential for managing your Pals and establishing your base. This guide walks you through the simple steps needed to construct your first Pal Box, plus the resources you’ll need to gather to make it happen.

Accessing Build Mode

To begin building a Pal Box, the first step is straightforward: press B on your keyboard to enter build mode.

Locating the Pal Box Option

Once you’re in build mode, look at the left side of your screen. Under the PAL category, you’ll find two options: PAL management and PAL box. Click on the PAL box option.

Understanding Base Level Requirements

When you attempt to place your Pal Box, you may see a message that states: “You cannot build any more bases. Increase the level of your guild base or just assemble a base by the map.” This means you’ll need to either upgrade your guild base level or place the Pal Box in a different location on the map.

Placing Your Pal Box

Once you’ve resolved any base restrictions, place the Pal Box in your desired location. You can identify the edges of your current base by looking for a blue line outline that appears on the terrain. The Pal Box, once placed, will allow you to construct and expand your base operations.

Essential Resources for Building

To craft your first Pal Box, you’ll need to gather three types of resources:

Wood

Wood is obtained by chopping trees. This is one of the most abundant resources you’ll encounter early in the game.

Stone

Stone is gathered by picking up pebbles scattered across the ground. Look around your base area and nearby terrain to collect these.

Palladium Fragments

Palladium fragments appear as blue gems scattered on the floor throughout the world. They’re quite obvious once you spot them, though finding your first one may take some exploration—expect to search for around five minutes or less. These fragments will be dotted around on the ground and stand out visually once you know what to look for.

Summary

Building your first Pal Box in Palworld is a simple but important milestone. Press B to enter build mode, navigate to PAL > PAL box, and place it within your base boundaries. Gather the necessary resources—wood from trees, stone from pebbles, and palladium fragments from the ground—and you’ll be well on your way to establishing your Pal base. With your Pal Box in place, you’ll be able to manage your Pals more effectively and grow your operations.
