Pals not moving in your base can be frustrating, but there are several potential causes and solutions you can try:
Basic Troubleshooting:
Needs and Status: Ensure your Pals’ hunger, thirst, and energy levels are fulfilled. Check for status effects like "Stunned," "Poisoned," or "Sleeping" that might hinder movement.
Work Orders: Verify that Pals haven’t been accidentally assigned a work order like "Gather" or "Transport" instead of "Idle" or "Explore." Use the "Order" menu to check and adjust their tasks.
Obstructions: Look for any obstacles blocking their path within the base, like closed doors, furniture, or poorly placed decorations. Adjust the layout for unobstructed 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.
Environment and Pal Specifics:
Temperature: Some Pals have specific temperature preferences. Ensure their enclosure is within a comfortable range.
Space: Check if the base is overcrowded, as this can impede movement. Provide sufficient space for Pals to navigate comfortably.
Pals’ Size: Consider the size of your Pals. Tight spaces might be problematic for larger Pals. Ensure enough clearance for their size.
Bugs and Glitches: While less likely, there might be occasional bugs affecting Pal movement. Report any persistent issues to the developers with detailed information.
Additional Tips:
Observe and Adapt: Watch how your Pals behave and adjust your base layout, work orders, or Pal selection based on their needs and movements.
Utilize Alternative Commands: Sometimes, using the "Order" menu directly to tell Pals where to go or what to do might be more effective than relying solely on throwing them around.
Community Resources: Check online forums and communities for solutions from other players who might have encountered similar issues.
Remember, identifying the underlying reason for your Pals’ lack of movement is crucial for effective troubleshooting. By following these steps, carefully analyzing the situation, and adapting your approach accordingly, you can get your Pals moving smoothly within your Palworld base!
