How to Craft

Palworld - Select Recipes at the Workbench

Interact with Production Structures

You need to build a Workbench and other similar structures in order to Craft in Palworld. Approach the structure and then press the default F key (PC) or the X button (Controller) in order to access that workspace's Crafting Menu.

The crafting menu will show you items that can be crafted along with their material requirements. Gather materials for crafting them. Once they are ready to be crafted, select them and their quantity, then proceed with the crafting.

Crafting may be done manually by holding down the default F key (PC) or X button (PC) by yourself, or automatically by other Pals with the Handiwork Work Suitability. A timer will appear indicating the crafting progress, which can be paused at any time by releasing the button.

How to Craft Better Items

Palworld - Primitive Workbench

Upgrade Facilities and Get High-Quality Materials

Certain items like higher tier Pal Spheres and guns require their specialized structures (the Sphere Workbench and Weapon Workbench, respectively) in order to be crafted.

You need to build the structure first before you are able to craft the item even if you have the recipe.

How to Get New Recipes for Crafting

Unlocked via Technology Points

Palworld - Unlock from the Technology Tree at Level 3.png

The main method of obtaining recipes is by unlocking them with Technology Points or Ancient Technology Points in the Technology Menu.

You can bring up the menu by pressing the T Key (PC) or open up the Menu and navigate to the Technology Tab.

Best Ancient Technology and How to Unlock

Obtained in Dungeons

Palworld - Volcanic Cavern Dungeon Entrance

After completing a dungeon, the chests near the Leave Crystal have a chance to drop Schematics. These recipes can range from higher rarity Armor to tools you have not yet unlocked in the game.

Make sure to pay attention on dungeon timers at the entrance, since these usually indicate that only some dungeons are accessible at different times.

Bought from Merchants

Palworld - Wandering Merchant

Some merchants (such as the Wandering Merchant at the Small Settlement) have Schematics that they can sell to the Player for Gold Coins.

You can add them to your base by weakening and capturing them with a Pal Sphere. This ensures that you always have access to their shop.

The best Pals for crafting would be those that posses the Handiwork Work Suitability. These Pals will assist you in building structures and items on workbenches.

For early game, look into acquiring Lamball, Cattiva, and Lifmunk to help you out in building your base!

Above are some recommended starting Pals for building your base and maintaining production.

When you start off your base, try to get Pals with Handiwork as their Work Suitability to get the ball rolling in building more Pal Spheres and raise that Base and Technology levels. These Pals will transition well once you get the Stone Pit and Logging Site structures.

For location, make sure to position your base near valuable nodes for resource gathering, like Ore chunks. These can save you item in crafting higher grade materials needed to make more advanced gear.
