In Palworld, upgrading your base is essential for expanding your capabilities and managing your Pals efficiently. Bases are the central hubs where you can store your Pals, produce resources, and manage your equipment.
As you progress through the game, upgrading your base becomes a key strategy for increasing storage, deploying more Pals, and even constructing additional bases.
Why Upgrade Your Base?
Upgrading your base in Palworld allows you to:
- Store More Pals: Each base level gives you additional slots to deploy more Pals.
- Build More Bases: As you upgrade, you can establish more separate bases, each with its own Palbox.
- Increase Resource Management: Upgraded bases can store more items and equipment, making it easier to manage resources as you progress.
- Complete Missions: Base upgrades are tied to missions, and progressing through these missions unlocks new features and rewards.
