Palworld 1.0 Returning Player Guide: What to Check Before a New Run
Version 1.0 overhauled the world, progression, combat, and story, so old habits deserve rechecking.
Back Up First
Back up worlds and characters using platform or server tools. Dedicated server owners should confirm settings and mod compatibility with 1.0.
Do not restore outdated mods before compatibility is confirmed; major data changes can break loading or UI.
Do Not Rush the Old Route
The official changelog describes broad world and progression overhauls, 72 new Pals, and a level cap raised to 85. Learn new unlock conditions before spending scarce resources.
Rebuild the Team
Combat rebalance means an old lineup may perform differently. Test active skills, Pal roles, and equipment on familiar enemies before entering high-level new content.
A New Checklist
Mark new points of interest and changes to familiar zones. In a fresh run, use the opening hours to reassess gathering, building, and exploration rather than copying an old base exactly.
