Let me tell you, after sinking about 500 hours into Palworld since its full release last year, I've built more bases than I can count. And while Pocket Pair has added tons of amazing features since the early access days of 2024, there are still some building mechanics that make me want to throw my controller through a window (but I don't, because gaming gear is expensive these days!).

The Building Evolution

Remember back in early 2024 when we couldn't even move furniture without destroying it first? Dark times, my friends. While we've come a long way, I still find myself making mental notes about what could make the building experience truly perfect.

Base building has always been what separated Palworld from other monster-catching games. It's not just about collecting cute (and sometimes terrifying) Pals – it's about creating your own little empire where those Pals can work themselves to the bone for your benefit. I'm kidding! Sort of.

My Top Building Wishlist for 2025

  1. Blueprint System - Sure, we can now move furniture without destroying it (thank goodness for that 2024 summer update!), but I want to save entire room layouts as blueprints that I can plop down anywhere.

  2. Foundation Merging - Even with the foundation upgrade system they added last fall, I still find myself wishing I could merge different types for more creative builds.

  3. Vertical Expansion Tools - Building upward is still more awkward than it needs to be. Give me proper multi-story tools!

  4. Weather Protection Stats - I want to know exactly how storm-proof my base is without waiting for the next typhoon to roll through.

  5. Pal-Specific Furniture - My Fire Pals deserve better than generic beds that don't acknowledge their tendency to set things ablaze.

The Community Keeps Building

What amazes me is how creative players continue to be despite these limitations. Last month, I saw someone create an entire floating city using the physics-defying foundation trick that somehow still hasn't been patched out. Another player recreated the entire Pokémon Indigo Plateau (though we don't talk about that too loudly for obvious legal reasons 😉).

The community's dedication to building impressive structures reminds me of the early Minecraft days. People just won't stop pushing the boundaries of what's possible with the tools available.

What Pocket Pair Has Promised

According to the latest developer roadmap released last month, we're supposed to be getting a "significant building overhaul" in the summer 2025 update. They've been tight-lipped about specifics, but the community manager did drop some hints about "revolutionary placement systems" during the spring livestream.

My sources (okay, it was just a Reddit post, but from someone who's been right before) suggest we might finally be getting the curved walls that builders have been begging for since day one.

People Also Ask

When will Palworld add more building materials?

The next major update scheduled for June 2025 is rumored to include at least 15 new building materials, including the much-requested glass walls and volcanic stone.

Can you build underwater bases in Palworld yet?

Not officially, though some players have found glitchy workarounds. Underwater construction is on the official roadmap for the Fall 2025 update.

How big can you build your base in Palworld now?

With the performance optimization patch from March 2025, base size limits were increased by approximately 40% on all platforms. PC players with high-end systems can enable the 'expanded construction' option for even larger builds.

FAQ: Palworld Building in 2025

Q: What's the best location to build a base in Palworld now?

A: With the climate system introduced in 2024, it really depends on what Pals you're keeping. Desert regions offer solar power efficiency but water scarcity. Mountain regions provide wind power but harsh temperatures. I personally prefer the central forest regions for balanced resources.

Q: How many Pals can efficiently work in one base?

A: The efficiency algorithms were updated in January 2025. Now you can have up to 25 Pals working at optimal efficiency in a properly designed base. Beyond that, you'll see diminishing returns unless you've unlocked the Advanced Management System.

Q: Are there still building glitches I can exploit?

A: I would never encourage exploiting glitches! But hypothetically speaking, the floating foundation trick still works, and there's a new one involving rotating triangular roofs that lets you create some mind-bending optical illusions. Not that I've tried it. Much.

Q: What's the most efficient base layout for breeding Pals?

A: The compact ranch design with alternating breeding pens and incubation stations minimizes worker Pal travel time. Make sure your egg incubators have at least three spaces between them to prevent temperature interference!

Q: Will we ever get true underwater building?

A: Pocket Pair has this on their official roadmap for late 2025. I'm personally counting down the days until I can build my supervillain underwater lair complete with shark Pals swimming around it!

The building system in Palworld continues to evolve, and while we've come a long way from those frustrating early days, there's still so much potential. Here's hoping that by the time I write my 2026 wishlist, we'll be talking about even more advanced features like Pal-interactive architecture or cross-dimension building. A player can dream, right?
