Start settings and basic operations

Main points

• Key habit: Palworld defaults to E for summoning Pallu and F for interaction; the speaker swaps E/F (and changes F to E in the UI interaction key) to avoid accidentally pressing it. This is a personal habit and not necessary.
• Movement: WSAD movement, space jump, right Ctrl to roll to avoid, C to crouch, hold down left shift to run; you can climb the wall, press C to cancel wall climbing - if you don't have a paraglider in the early stage, you can use wall climbing + jumping to quickly reach a place with a large drop.
• Menu (Tab): Technology points are divided into two columns: "Technology Points" are used to add points in the left column, and "Ancient Technology Points" are used to unlock them in the right column (the number that can be added at each level is small but very useful and has prerequisites). The inventory includes backpack, equipment (weapons/accessories/head/body/shield/paraglider/palu ball modules), and food inventory (you need to make a feed bag to unlock the grid).
• Ability points for 6 upgrades: It is not recommended to increase the working speed (it is a waste of points to have Palu do it for you). In the early stage, priority is given to increasing the upper limit of the load.
• The Survival Guide (in the options) covers all basic teaching, and it is recommended to read it first.
• There are many dialogue-able NPCs on the map: after some dialogues, materials are given (for example, 10 wood). The same NPC can be spoken to three times with different contents.
• The Green Leaf Rat Statue is a collectible: after collecting it, you can get the Power Stone Statue to enhance your catching ability. The stone statues in the wild or at home can be upgraded. Try to collect as many as possible in the early stage.

Error-prone and supplementary

• Beginners should not jump off the platform on the right side of the spawn point: once you get down and have the endurance to climb up, you will be trapped, and you will have to commit suicide or restart the game.

The system mechanism and operation are taken from the actual machine walkthrough (normal difficulty, single player); the key positions and UI are adjusted by the speaker's personal habits, and the interface/technology tree may change after 1.0.
