There can be several reasons why your Pals in Palworld aren’t moving items as expected. Here are some potential causes and solutions to try:
Basic Troubleshooting:
Needs and Status: Ensure your Pals are well-rested, fed, and hydrated. Check for any negative status effects like "Stunned," "Poisoned," or "Sleeping" that might prevent them from working.
Work Orders: Verify that your Pals are assigned the correct work order. They should be set to "Transport" or "Gather" instead of "Idle" or "Explore." Use the "Order" menu to check and adjust their tasks.
Obstructions: Make sure there are no obstacles blocking their path between the item and the target location. This includes closed doors, furniture, terrain features, or even other Pals. Remove any obstructions for smooth movement.
Pathfinding Issues: Sometimes, pathfinding AI can get stuck. Try picking up and placing the Pal again, teleporting them to a clear spot, or restarting the game.
Specific to Item Movement:
Target Location: Double-check that the target location for the item is accessible and within range for your Pals. They might not be able to reach certain areas.
Item Requirements: Ensure the item is within your Pal’s size and weight capacity. Oversized or heavy items might require stronger Pals or multiple carriers.
Inventory Full: Check if the target container or your Pal’s inventory is full. They won’t be able to move items if there’s no space to put them.
Bugs and Glitches: While less likely, there might be occasional bugs affecting item movement. Report any persistent issues to the developers with detailed information.
Additional Tips:
Observe and Adapt: Watch how your Pals behave and adjust your orders, target locations, or Pal selection based on their strengths and limitations.
Utilize Formations: Setting up formations like "V" or "Arrow" can improve your Pals’ coordination and efficiency in transporting items.
Community Resources: Check online forums and communities for solutions from other players who might have encountered similar issues.
Remember, identifying the specific reason for your Pals not moving items is key to fixing the problem. By following these steps, carefully analyzing the situation, and adapting your approach accordingly, you can get your Pals back on track to efficiently move items in your Palworld adventure!
