Palworld: Research Guide

In Palworld, making the most of everything is crucial. You'll want the limited number of Pals in your base to be as efficient as possible, excelling in multiple tasks and completing them quickly. That’s why taking care of their needs, such as food and health, is essential.

If you have multiple bases, managing this can become even more challenging. But what if you could have permanent passive effects across all your bases? In that case, you should focus on research. The earlier you invest in research, the more effective your Pals and bases will become!

Complete Research Guide

In Palworld, research is conducted through a building called the Pal Labor Research Laboratory. This facility allows you to explore various research subjects, granting permanent research effects that positively impact all your bases. These effects improve the efficiency of tasks performed by Pals in your base, making them invaluable for overall progress.

To initiate any research, you must first build a Pal Labor Research Laboratory. To unlock its blueprint, you need to reach level 20. Once unlocked, the following materials are required to construct the building:

Material	Amount
Ingot	x10
Paldium Fragment	x10

Once built, interacting with the laboratory opens a menu where you can select a research subject. There are a total of nine research subjects available:

Research Subject	Count
Handiwork	20
Kindling	18
Watering	16
Planting	17
Generating Electricity	16
Lumbering	16
Mining	17
Cooling	17
Medicine Production	13

Each Pal Labor Research Laboratory can work on only one research subject at a time. However, building multiple laboratories in the same base allows you to research multiple subjects simultaneously.

When you select a research subject, a tech tree screen opens. The research subjects at the top are low-level and require fewer resources, while those at the bottom are high-level and demand more effort and rare materials.

Materials Needed For Research

Many advanced research subjects require Ancient Civilization Parts and Ancient Pal Manuscripts. Below is a table that includes how to obtain these materials:

Material	How To Obtain
Ancient Civilization Parts	Defeat Alpha Boss Pals or Dungeon Bosses to collect these. Since these bosses respawn after one hour, farming them is relatively quick. Additionally, capturing Lucky Pals can yield Ancient Civilization Parts.
Ancient Pal Manuscripts	Defeat Wanted Fugitives marked on your map to earn Successful Bounty Tokens. These tokens can be exchanged for Ancient Pal Manuscripts from the Vigilante Bounty Officer. You can also obtain these manuscripts by sending Pals on expeditions to certain destinations.

How To Optimize Research

The duration of a research project depends on the level of the subject. Low-level research subjects take less time, while high-level ones take significantly longer. After selecting a research subject, the Workload is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Each research subject requires a Pal with the relevant work suitability to operate the laboratory. For example, to research Handiwork, you’ll need a Pal with Handiwork suitability. If you don’t have a Pal with the required suitability, the research will not progress. Moreover, the higher the work suitability level of the assigned Pal, the faster the workload will be completed.

Below is a table of the best Pals for each research subject:

Research Subject	Recommended Pal
Handiwork	Anubis Selyne Splatterina
Kindling	Jormuntide Ignis Blazamut Ryu
Watering	Jormuntide Faleris Aqua
Planting	Lyleen
Generating Electricity	Orserk Azurmane
Lumbering	Celesdir
Mining	Blazamut Blazamut Ryu Astegon Knocklem
Cooling	Frostallion Bastigor
Medicine Production	Bellanoir Bellanoir Libero

It’s crucial to prioritize research based on your needs. For instance, if your base struggles with electricity, focusing on the Generating Electricity research subject will be highly beneficial. Once a research project’s workload is completed, its effects become permanent and apply across all your bases.
