How to assign jobs to your Pals in Palworld

If you want to assign a job, simply walk up to a Pal and press the F key on PC or the X Button on Xbox. Doing this will make you lift up the Pal you are next to. Now that you have the Pal lifted, bring them over to the work station you want them at. Press the F key or the X button a second time to throw the Pal at the work station.

Tossing the Pal at the work station will assign it to that station. Remember, a Pal can only work where their work suitability allows them to. For instance, a Pal with the handiwork skill can be thrown at a crafting station to work on building tools, weapons, and more.

Managing your base

A great way to prevent Pals from running around constantly is to use Pals that specialize in only one or two work suitabilities. This will optimize their performance at your base.

You can check Pal stats by going to the Paldeck in the menu. You can also look at different Pals in the Palbox. Keep in mind that a Pal will not just stay at one station indefinitely. If no work is available the Pal AI will check a list of all available jobs and find one for the Pal to complete.
