I understand your Pals aren’t moving wood in Palworld, which can be frustrating. Here are some specific steps you can take to troubleshoot and get them back on track:
Basic Checks:
Pals’ Needs and Status: Ensure your Pals are well-rested, fed, and hydrated. Check for negative status effects like "Stunned," "Poisoned," or "Sleeping" that might hinder movement.
Work Orders: Verify that your Pals are assigned the "Gather" or "Transport" work order for wood. Use the "Order" menu to check and adjust their tasks.
Obstacles: Make sure there are no trees or terrain features blocking their path between the trees and the storage chest.
Target Location: Double-check that the storage chest is accessible and within your Pals’ range. They might not be able to reach certain areas.
Item Requirements: Ensure the wood logs aren’t oversized or too heavy for your Pal’s strength. Smaller Pals might need help from stronger ones.
Inventory Full: Check if the target storage chest or your Pals’ inventory is full. They won’t move wood if there’s no space to put it.
Advanced Troubleshooting:
Bug Check: While unlikely, there might be occasional bugs affecting wood gathering. Report any persistent issues to the developers with detailed information.
Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the game’s cache can resolve temporary glitches. Check your platform’s instructions for doing this.
Reset AI: As a last resort, you can try resetting your Pals’ AI. This erases learned skills, so use it cautiously. Use the "Reset AI" option in the Pal menu.
Additional Tips:
Multiple Pals: Assign multiple Pals to wood gathering for faster collection.
Formations: Set up formations like "V" or "Arrow" to improve coordination and efficiency.
Storage Optimization: Place storage chests near wood sources for shorter carrying distances.
Upgrade Pals: Consider breeding stronger Pals or evolving your current ones for increased carrying capacity.
Community Resources: Check online forums and communities for solutions from other players who might have encountered similar issues.
By following these steps, carefully analyzing the situation, and adapting your approach, you can get your Pals back to gathering wood efficiently in Palworld!
