Move Bases in Palworld

Moving bases in Palworld can be challenging but completely manageable with proper planning. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about relocating your base efficiently while minimizing resource loss.

Understanding Base Limits

Base Slot System

You can have multiple active bases based on your level progression:

  • Level 1-10: 1 base slot
  • Level 10-15: 2 base slots
  • Level 15+: 3 base slots

Choose your base locations wisely as each new base requires significant resources.

Before You Move

Consider these factors:

  • Proximity to resources you need
  • Defensibility of the new location
  • Distance from important points of interest
  • Climate and terrain advantages

Step-by-Step Base Relocation

Phase 1: Dismantle Work Structures

Priority dismantling order:

  1. Production Facilities First: Ranches, breeding farms, egg incubators
  2. Pal Accommodations: Pal beds and sleeping arrangements
  3. Utility Structures: Storage, workbenches, and crafting stations
  4. Palbox Last: The central structure should be dismantled last
Pro Tip: Use a high-level Pal with Handiwork skill for faster dismantling speed.

Phase 2: Resource Management

Before dismantling the Palbox:

  1. Empty all chests and storage containers
  2. Transfer important items to your inventory
  3. Organize resources by type for easier rebuilding
  4. Keep essential building materials separate from valuables
Warning: Items left in chests when the Palbox is dismantled may be lost or difficult to retrieve.

Phase 3: The Palbox Transfer

When you dismantle the Palbox:

  • All working Pals automatically return to the Palbox
  • Pal becomes transportable in your inventory
  • Base structures will remain if you want to establish an outpost
    • Important: Ensure all Pals are accounted for before leaving the area.

Phase 4: Establish New Base

Building at the new location:

  1. Place and level the new Palbox first
  2. Rebuild essential structures in priority order
  3. Assign Pals to their new work stations
  4. Restore power and utility connections
  5. Rebuild defensive structures if needed

Efficiency Tips & Strategies

Minimize Moving Costs

  • Plan Ahead: Scout new locations before moving
  • Use Portable Items: Keep essential tools in your inventory
  • Batch Crafting: Craft multiple components before moving
  • Lightweight Load: Travel light to new location

Base Selection Criteria

Ideal base locations should have:

  • Abundant natural resources nearby
  • Flat terrain for easy building
  • Natural defensive barriers (cliffs, water)
  • Proximity to dungeons or boss locations
  • Good weather patterns

Multi-Base Strategy

Use multiple bases effectively:

  • Resource Gathering Base: Near specific material types
  • Main Base: Central hub with advanced facilities
  • Outpost: Strategic location for exploration

Common Problems & Solutions

Issue: Can't Dismantle Structure

Solution: Ensure you're not in combat mode and have the required tools equipped. Some structures may need to be empty before dismantling.

Issue: Pals Not Returning to Palbox

Solution: Check if Pals are stuck or working remotely. Wait a few minutes for them to automatically return, then check the Palbox inventory.

Issue: Resources Lost During Move

Solution: Always double-check all containers before dismantling the Palbox. Use the transfer command to move items between containers.

Advanced Base Management

Outpost System

Consider establishing small outposts instead of full base moves:

  • Quick travel points
  • Resource collection stations
  • Emergency shelter locations
  • Waypoint markers for navigation

Resource Transportation

Efficient resource moving:

  • Use flying Pals for long-distance transport
  • Leverage weight-reduction passives
  • Build temporary storage structures
  • Use player-built carts for heavy loads

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move my base without losing anything?

Yes, by following the proper dismantling procedure. Always empty containers and transfer Pals before dismantling the Palbox.

How far can I move my base?

There's no distance limit, but consider travel time and resource availability at the new location.

What happens to buildings around my old base?

Non-work related structures (decorations, walls) will remain if you don't dismantle them, creating a potential outpost.

Can I have multiple active bases at once?

Yes, up to three bases depending on your level. Each requires its own Palbox.

Is there a way to teleport my base?

No built-in base teleportation exists. You must manually dismantle and rebuild at the new location.
