Palworld is better with friends, but the systems can be confusing.

Guild Mechanics

When you join a Guild, you share everything: Bases, technology unlocks, and Palbox access. Warning: The maximum number of bases a Guild can have is 3. If 10 people are in a Guild, they must share those 3 bases.

Co-op vs. Dedicated Servers

  • Co-op: 4 players max. The host must be online for anyone to play. Tethering limits how far guests can travel from the host.
  • Dedicated Server: 32 players max. Runs 24/7. No tethering.

Guild Chest Etiquette

Assume anything placed in a base chest can and will be used by your guildmates or consumed by the crafting system. Keep your most valuable items in your personal inventory if you don't want them smelted into ingots.
