Developer Pocket Pair has released Palworld's update v0.3.4, adding meteorite and supply drop interval settings to world options. Additionally, this Palworld update introduces balance adjustments, bug fixes, and more, aimed at enhancing the overall player experience.
Palworld is an early access survival game that blends monster-catching elements reminiscent of Pokemon with mechanics from genres like Rust and Valheim. Since its release, Palworld has quickly risen in popularity, selling over 7 million copies within five days. The game combines crafting, building, and combat with the twist of using captured creatures (Pals) for various tasks and battles. Palworld continues to evolve, regularly adding new content and addressing issues to enhance the player experience.
Palworld Player Shows Off Impressive Water Base
A talented Palworld player finds the perfect spot to create a fairly detailed water base and shares the results of their efforts with the community.
One of the notable additions in Palworld's update v0.3.4 is the new world option settings, which now include meteorite and supply drop interval adjustments. These settings allow players to customize the frequency of these events, adding more control over their gameplay environment when creating a new world in Palworld. The update also comes with several balance adjustments. Summoned Pals will now take 25% less damage from all sources, though this does not apply to base Pals. The firepower of enemies on the Oil Rig has been reduced, making it slightly less challenging for players. Additionally, the power generation from large generators has been increased, and the recovery amount for Lyleen's unique skill has been adjusted. The required technology level for coal mines has been lowered, facilitating easier access to resources.
Moreover, the purchase price from Palworld's food merchants has been increased, and the production efficiency of tomatoes and lettuce at farms has been boosted. Players can now buy meat from merchants, adding more options for them. Various fixes have also been implemented to improve the game's base mechanics. There has been a fix for a bug where Pals got stuck transporting items if a chest was moved or the route changed. Additionally, a bug causing harmful random events like monster nests to occur within the base has been resolved.
Furthermore, the neutral area around Palworld’s Sakurajima Tower has been set, preventing buildings from being built in the surrounding area. Some achievements that previously failed to unlock should now work correctly. Other minor bug fixes have also been implemented to improve the game's stability and performance.
Finally, the update fixes an issue where simplified characters were mixed into the traditional Chinese version of the game, though this fix is ongoing due to the large amount of text involved. While players enjoy the game in early access, Pocket Pair continues to improve Palworld, helping to ensure it remains engaging for its growing player base.
