Summary

  • Palworld has become a major success, with over 8 million copies sold and breaking records for concurrent players on Steam.
  • A player named 4ngryPanda discovered the range of heaters in Palworld, finding that the heated area is about the size of 15 Egg Incubators.
  • Heat is important for hatching eggs in Palworld, with some eggs needing a warm environment. Having a heater can be useful, but the effects of different heaters do not stack.

A clever Palworld player has discovered how far the effects of heaters can reach. Temperature is important for hatching eggs in Palworld, as some of them need a warm environment to hatch quickly, and knowing whether a heating device is working can be very useful to save time.

Palworld is the most unexpected hit of early 2024. Not only has Palworld sold over 8 million copies so far, but it’s breaking many records. During the last weekend, for example, Palworld became the second-highest title with the most concurrent gamers in Steam’s history, when it peaked at 2,101,867 concurrent players.

Lucky New Palworld Player Gets Rare Pal Out of Huge Dragon Egg

One lucky Palworld player starts their in-game journey with an extremely rare and powerful Pal hatched from a Huge Dragon Egg.

Now, a Palworld player called 4ngryPanda tried an interesting experiment and discovered the exact range of heaters. Initially, 4ngryPanda was dissatisfied because they could not find any information about the topic online, so they decided to test it themselves, figuring out the exact range. In a picture shared by 4ngryPanda, it’s possible to see the reach of the heated area, which is around the size of 15 Egg Incubators. 4ngryPanda even tried to test how the eggs would be affected vertically. According to them, the heat probably emanates in a sphere around the heater, so distant eggs may not get the effect if they are on top of something, but more tests are still necessary.

Heat is important for hatching eggs in Palworld. Some eggs, such as Scorching Eggs, get bonuses when they are hatched in hot places, while others need to be put in cold areas. So, having a heater may be extremely handy. However, as clarified in the comments of the post, the effects of different heaters do not stack, so a single one is enough to gain the bonus.

Some Players Are Already Mastering How to Breed Overpowered Pals in Palworld

Like 4ngryPanda, many other gamers are still uncovering the best practices for breeding Pals. For example, a player recently bred an overpowered Tocotoco in Palworld, exploiting the breeding mechanics of the game to their fullest potential. By doing that, the player created a Lv.50 Tocotoco with an Attack power of 1633, which managed to beat the game’s first boss with only 9 hits.

Another noteworthy case of Pal breeding was seen last week, as one gamer hatched a pretty powerful Lifmunk. Lifmunk is a small creature and generally not as powerful as some endgame Pals, but the one created by this player had an Attack of 1033 by Lv.29, and it could take out a powerful enemy in seconds.
