In Palworld, your Pals are your loyal and hard-working companions who do all of the hard work on your base. They do everything from mining to farming and even crafting. But all of this can affect their mood and make them angry and even depressed.
Causes of Anger and Depression
Pals can get angry or depressed for many reasons, such as:
- Hunger: Pals require food to survive and function. If they don’t eat enough, they’ll lose energy and become dissatisfied.
- Overwork: Pals have a sanity meter that indicates how stressed they are. If they labor too hard or for too long, their sanity suffers and they become furious or despondent.
- Boredom: Pals also require entertainment and leisure. If they do not have anything enjoyable to do, they will become bored and lose motivation.
- Injury: Enemies, traps, and mishaps can all damage Pals. If they do not recover, they will be in pain and suffering.
Symptoms of Anger and Depression
Anger and depression can affect your pals in different ways, such as:
- Reduced stats: Pals who are angry or depressed have lower attack, defense, speed, and stamina. This will make them less effective in warfare and work.
- Refusal to work: Angry or unhappy Pals may refuse to follow your instructions or complete their allotted chores. They may also run away or attack you.
- Purple portrait: Angry or unhappy Pals’ portraits will be purple. This suggests that they are in a poor mood and require your attention.
How to Cure Anger and Depression
There are different methods to cure anger and depression, depending on the severity and the cause. Here are some of them:
- Feed them: The simplest method to keep your Pals pleased is to feed them. You can feed them directly or set up a plantation and a feed box to allow them to eat automatically. You can even cultivate different crops to meet their preferences.
- Heal them: If your Pals are injured, you must treat them as soon as possible. You can utilize medical supplies, healing pals, or healing structures to help them get better. You can also make armor and weapons to protect them from danger.
- Give them a break: Your Pals require rest and leisure to regain their sanity. You can create beds and hot springs to allow them to sleep and bathe. You can also assign them leisure activities such as playing, fishing, or exploring.
- Praise them: Your Pals need your love and appreciation to boost their morale. You can praise them by pressing the F key or using the praise command. You can also pet them, hug them, or give them gifts.
How to Prevent Anger and Depression
The best way to deal with anger and depression is to prevent it from happening in the first place. Here are some tips to keep your pals happy and healthy:
- Balance their workload: Don’t make your pals work too hard or too long. Give them enough time to rest and recover. You can also spread the workload among different pals or hire more pals to help you.
- Provide entertainment: Don’t let your pals get bored or lonely. Provide them with fun and engaging activities, such as games, toys, or puzzles. You can also interact with them, play with them, or take them on adventures.
- Respect their personality: Don’t force your pals to do things they don’t like or are not good at. Respect their personality, element, and rank. You can check their traits and abilities by selecting them in your pal box. You can also train them, evolve them, or modify them to suit your needs.
