How do I make my worker Pals even faster?

Stack the multipliers: work speed passives like Artisan (Work Speed +50%) and Serious (+20%), Pal Condenser upgrades, and the right food. Check our passive skills list for every work-related passive, then breed those passives onto a high-suitability species with the breeding calculator.

What is the best all-around worker Pal?

Anubis is the classic answer: Handiwork 6 plus strong Mining and Transporting, and it's breedable from hundreds of parent combos. For a full crew, pair one or two generalists like Anubis with specialists that top the individual job rankings on this page, and keep a nocturnal Pal or two so the base keeps running at night.

Do working Pals affect server performance?

Yes, more than player count does. Every working Pal, automation loop, and full base keeps simulating even when nobody is online, which drives RAM and CPU usage on a dedicated server. If you are building fully-staffed bases, size your server with the Palworld RAM Calculator, and tune worker caps with the server settings generator.

Work suitability determines which base jobs a Pal can do and how fast it does them, across twelve job types like Kindling, Handiwork, Mining, and Transporting. Higher levels work dramatically faster: a high-level Handiwork Pal can out-craft several low-level ones. The rankings on this page come straight from the current game files, sorted by base work level.
