All the preventive actions you can take when your Pals are not eating and getting sick in Palworld.

Building a Feed Box in Palworld

In Palworld, managing your base and ensuring the well-being of your Pals can sometimes present unexpected challenges. One such issue arises when Pals seemingly ignore the abundance of food provided, leading to confusion and concern over their health. Understanding the reasons behind this behavior and knowing how to address it is crucial for maintaining a thriving base.

How to Troubleshoot Pal Feeding Issues

Several strategies can help resolve the problem of base Pals not eating:

  • Relocate the Feed Box: Sometimes, moving the feed box to a more open area can make it more accessible to your Pals.
  • Manually Feed the Pal: If a Pal isn’t eating, try physically picking it up using the ‘F’ key and placing it next to the feed box. This method can be particularly effective if the Pal is stuck on an object within the base.
  • Place the Pal in the Palbox to Reset its Behavior: Placing the non-eating Pal into storage and then bringing it back out can help reset its position and behavior, potentially resolving the issue.
  • Log In and Out: Occasionally, logging out of your world and then logging back in can fix pathing issues that prevent Pals from eating.

It’s important to observe patterns in your Pals’ behavior. If you notice a Pal consistently failing to eat, investigate the possibility of them getting stuck on base structures. Such insights can guide you in making necessary adjustments to your base layout or in taking direct action to free your Pals.

How to Prevent and Cure Pal Sickness

Aside from feeding issues, Pals can also suffer from sickness, which might stem from not eating or from low sanity levels. To enhance your Pals’ well-being:

  • Build a Hot Spring: A hot spring can boost Pal sanity, but you may need to manually place Pals into the spring if pathing issues prevent them from entering on their own.
  • Build better Pal Beds: Ensure that every Pal has a bed to sleep at night and as you unlock better beds like Fluffy Pal Bed and Large Pal Bed under the infrastructure tab, ensure that you make the necessary upgrades for faster SAN recovery.
  • Craft Medical Supplies: Depending on the sickness, Low, Regular, or High-Grade Medical Supplies might be required. These can be crafted at the Medieval Medicine Workbench using resources like horns, berries, ingots, and bones. Each grade of medicine treats different ailments, from Overfull and Cold to Weakened and Depressed.

Ensuring the health of your Pals involves both preventative and reactive measures. By maintaining a clear path to the feed box and proactively addressing any sickness, you can keep your Pals in top condition. Regularly revisiting your base layout and keeping a stock of medical supplies on hand are key strategies for mitigating these common issues in Palworld.
