A good base runs itself and a good breeding plan gets you any Pal in the game. Here's how to set up automated production lines, keep your workers happy, and hatch the exact Pals (and passives) you're after.
Base automation
🔥 Cover the jobs
Assign Pals so every Work Suitability (Kindling, Watering, Handiwork, Mining, Cooling...) is covered.
🍖 Keep them fed & happy
A full Feed Box, a hot spring and beds keep workers productive; low-sanity Pals slack off or get sick.
⚡ Power & production lines
Set up electricity, ore and food loops so ingots, ammo and cake craft while you're away.
📦 Logistics
Place chests near workstations and use Transporting Pals so materials flow without you hauling them.
Breeding
Build the farm
Construct a Breeding Farm and craft Cake — which needs flour, milk, eggs, honey and a Cooling Pal for the fridge.
Pick your pair
Each parent combination produces a specific child species; use a breeding chart to route toward targets like Anubis.
Pass down passives
Breed parents that already carry Legend, Musclehead, Ferocious or Swift so the child inherits them.
Condense the result
Merge duplicates at the Statue of Power to add stars and stats to your finished Pal.
Multi-base strategy
- Run up to three bases: one for materials (ore/coal), one for food/breeding, one as a hub near fast travel.
- Specialise each base so workers aren't spread thin across conflicting jobs.
- Defend against Syndicate raids with turrets or a few strong combat Pals left on guard.
- Higher Palbox tiers raise the worker cap — upgrade before overcrowding a base.
Base defence & raids
- Syndicate and wild raids periodically attack your base — build defensive walls and gates.
- Place Pal-manned turrets or leave a few strong combat Pals assigned to guard.
- Keep your Palbox and key production lines out of easy line of fire.
- Raids scale with your progress, so upgrade defences as your bases grow.
